This explains why she allowed her early works to be published. The ambiguity of the protagonist in The Thumb meant she could explore distaste for masculinity free from the public’s homophobic opinions, and allowed her to explore a unique relationship. Alienation then is a tool for Bishop to use not just despite her fear of being outed but because it…

Tom Thumb Band in Consumers’ Minds These days, ads pervade every aspect of life. Countless advertisements on television, billboards, and even pop-up ads on the internet.

I practiced using the closed-loop theory to try to teach Shiley H. how to wiggle her thumb. The closed loop theory is characterized by completing a specific task over and over again to establish a perceptual trace. Along with practice, the perceptual trace is established through reinforcing an accepted internal reference, which is thought of as being the “correct” way to do things. While it is initially the memory trace that selects and initiates movements, the closed-loop theory works to cause…

Elizabeth Bishop had never wanted to be considered just a female poet, lesbian poet, or otherwise. Instead, she wanted to be known as a great poet and for most scholars she is. However, those parts of her personality, especially her sexuality, are hard to ignore and do not necessarily have to be. Bishop’s sexuality, while well known to her friends, was something she intended to keep veiled both in her poetry as well as in general. Still, her early works were relatively open about her sexuality,…

I am pretty sure that the ridicule that they got for that probably made them stop doing that, but I would guess…
