In Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper,” Gilman illustrates how women in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries had no basic rights and experienced severe oppression in many aspects of their lives. Women who lived in this time were treated much differently than they are today. Even when suffering from serious illness, the story’s protagonist, Jane, is not taken seriously. This ultimately leads to her demise. By illustrating the main character’s depression, the author…

fear of the unknown. Americans were unsure of what the Soviet Union may do and whether or not it would result in nuclear war. Oftentimes life imitates art. This can be done in a painstakingly obvious manner or in a subtle manner. For example, the Twilight Zone episode “Night Call” mirrors the feelings of uncertainty and fear in Americans at the time of the Cold War. The main character in the episode, Ms. Keen is wheelchair ridden. She lives alone and besides her caretaker, spends most of her…

Gray wolves eat deer. Wolves also like to eat…

In many novels, the main character learns more about an issue faced in society. They are usually uninformed or uneducated in the beginning. Then as the events of the novel progress, they slowly learn more about the issue and how to combat it. Scout follows a similar pattern starting from the very beginning of the trial to meeting Boo Radley. In her novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee uses genre to show Scout learning more about racism and courage. As the book progresses and Scout matures,…

of mind, of softness and tranquility, that he or she finds these traces of God coming through in nature (l. 6). The hermit thrush may remind readers of a solitary person worshipping or singing their praises to God. The bird "sang through the holy twilight hush" and the use of the last word solidifies the idea that this scene is meant to be thought of as quiet and…

In the popular teen-fiction novel, Twilight, Stephanie Meyer writes “Just because we’ve been… dealt a certain hand… doesn’t mean that we can’t choose to rise above- to conquer the boundaries of a destiny that none of us wanted”. Just because one has a bad life or their life takes a wrong turn, does not mean one shouldn’t try to change. This quote fits today because a lot of people have been rising above the odds or fighting for what they want or deserve. People should fight to make their way in…

For better or worse, the vast majority of movies can be lumped into a typical, generic category in which they’re ultimately only worthy of one viewing – and one viewing only. You watch it and minutes or possibly even a few days later – it fully fades from your memory like a childhood trip to the dentist. The point is it’s rare to witness a movie that stands out in a clustered, often chaotic Hollywood field of endless film productions. But, from time to time, though, a film like Kevin’s Smith…

Film Music dunnnn dun. dunnnn dun. dunnnn dun. dunnnn dun. dunnn dun. dunnn dun. dunn dun. dunn dun. The heavy sound of bows dragging across full basses, pulling from them one of the lowest notes in their register. A quick up-stroke, bringing out a pitch only just slightly higher than the first. The audience is on the edge of their seats waiting for the monster, the villain, the antagonist, the inevitable. They know that the evildoer of this tale will be making an entrance soon; and how do they…

In C. Vann Woodward’s book, The Strange Career of Jim Crow, Woodward talks about the “Twilight Zone” which was the period of myths. Woodward was the first Historian to write about race relations in the time period between 1860 and 1965. Woodward’s purpose of writing this book was to show that segregation even by law has always been prevalent, and to “make the attempt to relate to the origins and development of Jim Crowism to the bewildering rapid changes that have occurred in race relations”…
