My Antonia: A Review
Words: 1043 / Pages: 4 .... Antonia, to illustrate
these issues, and show why they make this book such a delightful work of
art.
My Antonia is told from the point of view of Willa Cather's
fictional friend, Jim Burden. He writes in the first person, and his use

sympathize with all of them. His perception, being broad and persuasive,
sets the tone for the whole book. What is the purpose of having the story
told by Jim Burden thirty years later? From .....

Even though Lorde never fully understands why her mother was so hard on her, I feel that this was one of the main contributors to her knowing and first understanding her outsider status.

He doesn’t mention the idea of the pain that might arise from recurrent visions of the crime. Raskolnikov never again recalls the massive amounts of blood everywhere, the look on Lizaveta’s face when he brings down the axe on her head. These things clearly show that the crime isn’t what might cause him suffering, or pain, it is something else.
After Raskolnikov is sent off to Siberia, he doesn’t feel remorseful. His feelings haven’t changed about his crime, he feels ba .....

Chaucer's "The House Of Fame": The Cultural Nature Of Fame
Words: 2300 / Pages: 9 .... in the eternal preservation of great
works and their creators. However, Chaucer is quick to note the precarious
nature of "fame" noting the unreliable process of attaining it and its
potentially momentary existence. Every creator with their respective work/s
naturally crave and desire "fame"; they want their subjects to remain fresh in
the minds of their audience. Chaucer, while neither totally praising the written
nor the oral, reveals how essentially the written word is far more likely to
become eternal as opposed to the oral. The relative "fame" of any work is
dependent on many factors. Many traditional and classical ideas result in the
format .....

Scott Fitzgerald’s novels The Great Gatsby and Tender is the Night, the characters Daisy Buchanan and Nicole Diver give the appearance of a charmed existence, but it is in fact flawed.
Daisy Buchanan was raised in a wealthy American family, and had the appearance of a perfect upbringing. In reality, Daisy did live a “ white” (p.20) childhood, pure and innocent. In fact, her childhood was so ideal that even her friend Jordan Baker commented, “The largest of the banners and the largest of the lawns belon .....

The Good Earth: Summary
Words: 1155 / Pages: 5 .... Lung's father, an elderly man, was bossy and conservative. He
was the oldest of the Wang family alive in the book and in Chinese culture
anyone older than you should be respected and treated nicely. Wang Lung
took care of him at first until he was married and then O-lan took care of
both of them until they could afford servants (toward the end of the book).
I liked the way the Chinese respected and treated their elders. I think we

Wang Lung's uncle was a lazy and greedy man. Wang Lung did not
like him that much and wished that the Chinese custom of paternal relatives
living with their famili .....
