Toni Morisson's 'Beloved' and Sherley Ann Williams' 'Dessa Rose' / Motherhood & Maternalism
[ send me this report ]
A 5 page paper comparing and contrasting the protagonists' ability to assume the responsibilities of motherhood.

Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Walker's 'The Color Purple' v. Otto's 'How to Make an American Quilt'
[ send me this report ]
A 9 page paper that describes how the authors of these two works utilize structures unique to story development to present their ideas on feminism, relationships, sexuality and domesticity. While both authors utilize different structural formats (Walker presents her's as an epistolary novel, while Otto's is set within the context of a quilting instructional manual), each uncommon structure significantly effects the author's presentation of ideas. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Zora Neale Hurston's 'Their Eyes Were Watching God,' Nella Larsen's 'Passing' And Ann Petry's 'The Street': Marriage
[ send me this report ]
10 pages in length. Zora Neale Hurston's 'Their Eyes Were Watching God,' Nella Larsen's 'Passing' and Ann Petry's 'The Street' all address the issue of marriage in very different ways. While all three stories speak about the bonds of matrimony in one way or another, it is not actually the marriage, in and of itself, upon which the tales focus. Rather, each author carefully yet quite effectively touches upon marriage, its meaning within the social backdrop, as well as the requirements necessary to maintain its existence; however, these stories delve much deeper into the aspect of marriage than what merely resides on the surface. It is through intense character examination that the reader is able to see beyond the marital façade to a more realistic place where the authors' protagonists inevitably dwell. The writer discusses the importance marriage plays in each one. No additional sources cited.

Historical Background in Behn’s “Oroonoko”
[ send me this report ]
A five page paper looking at Aphra Behn’s seventeenth-century novel in terms of the degree to which it portrays the issue of slavery realistically. Through quoting historical material on the slave trade in that era, the paper argues that not only is Behn’s work accurate, but it presents the romance of two black lovers much more sympathetically than was common at that time. Bibliography lists four sources.

“Beloved,” “The Crucible,” “The Narrative of the Life of
Frederick Douglass,” and McCarthyism -- Stories of Boundaries
Imposed and Crossed
[ send me this report ]
This 5 page report discusses the fact that
literary works often demonstrate the boundaries that can and
cannot be crossed and the barriers people place between
themselves and understanding their contemporaries. Morrison’s
Pulitzer Prize-winning novel “Beloved” demonstrated the ways in
which characters must deal with a past that constantly haunts
them. Likewise, it is clear in Frederick Douglass’ autobiography
that he never escaped having been born to a slave and being a
slave and the ways in which such a circumstance negated his
existence as a human being. Miller’s “The Crucible” serves as
yet another example of how humanity’s current circumstances can
be and often are defined by the past. Bibliography lists 3
sources.
