What is the Wailing Wall? The Wailing Wall is relevant to the Boatwright Sisters because its a wall tha May goes to everytime she gets upset. On page 73 it states, " Oh, May, honey, you go out to the wall and finish your cry," and on page 97 it states "Like they have in Jerusalem. The Jewish people go there to mourn. It's a way for them to deal with their suffering." The Wailing wall was located in Jerusalem and its where people go there to deal with there sufferinh.…
In Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury explains how television has taken over the societies lives. People in their society have rooms in their houses dedicated to just TV, those rooms are called parlor rooms. There were very few people who didn’t use the new technology throughout the story. Bradbury wrote about a society who was in need of a change and Montag, Faber, and Clarisse were the people who could change it.…
Walls are a big part of our history. Whether they are a major tourist attraction, costing America billions of dollars, or separating a country, they play a big part in our lives. The Seattle gum wall, the wall on the border between Mexico and the US, and the Berlin wall are a few examples of important walls in the world.…
In The Yellow Wallpaper, various factors fostered a sense of isolation in the protagonist 's psyche, which eventually drove her into insanity. The Narrator experiences isolation in numerous ways that include intellectual isolation, physical isolation, and emotional isolation, and each brings The Narrator closer the deterioration of her sanity. Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s character John, and his behavior, explain why the corrosion of The Narrator’s health took place. John’s insistence on remaining at the isolated home, his inability to accept the opinion of The Narrator and his belief in his knowledge as a physician leaves the Narrator feeling shut out from society, triggering her insanity.…
In the story "The Yellow Wall-Paper", by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, readers watch a woman as she descends into madness. The first time I read this story nothing more occurred to me than a woman with a mental condition finally lost it. Now that I have dug deep into the story I realized there is absolutely nothing wrong with the woman, except her husband. As a direct result of the way he treated her and constantly belittled her, out of loneliness and desperation she ended up going insane.…
In the story of “The Yellow Wallpaper”, the protagonist is the narrator, and suffers from mental illness that she describes as nervousness. Her husband, however, refuses to admit that she is ill, but has taken her to a summer rental home for a treatment of rest. John is a physician and prescribes one hour of rest per day, and has restricted her from visitors, traveling, or participating in any activity that he considers to be stressful, including the daily house chores, caring for the baby, or writing, which she sees to be her stress outlet. The societal expectations of the women of the 19th century were that they submissive, pious, pure, and domestic. “It does weigh on me so not to do my duty in any way!” (Gilman). This is a reflection of the inner conflict the protagonist feels due to society’s expectations of her, and the feelings of guilt she has for not doing her part of the housework and caring for the children. “Personally I believe that congenial work, with excitement and change, would do me good” (Gilman). It is evident that the narrator doesn’t agree with her husband’s prescribed therapy. However, she is submissive to the restrictions of her therapy with the exception that she secretly begins to write. The consequence of the struggle between her feelings of oppression, and her mental illness being misunderstood and mistreated, is that the narrator experiences a psychotic episode. The room that she once found so repulsive, she finds refuge in now, and refuses to leave. Her ultimate freedom from the restraints of her life is her insanity.…
There are many reasons why this is an unlikely hit song and yet it found it's way to the top spot on the Country charts and gives no sign of leaving anytime soon. The song itself sounds more like an album cut than a hit; while the chorus has a beautiful payoff line at the end, it lacks the huge hooks and big emotional release that usually drives a song to #1. So let's see what it has that makes people want to hear it over and over.…
The Yellow Wall-paper is a fictional short story written by Charlotte Gilman and I feel like it exaggerates the post-partum depression she has, at the time the post-partum was not recognized as it is now. She is also living in a time period where the husband is more superior to the wife and some details of her story show that. John and his wife, the narrator, move into an estate for the summer along with their new baby and John’s sister. John, a doctor, orders his wife to get plenty of rest in order to cure her “temporary nervous depression” (83). In their new home she is basically imprisoned in a room that has yellow wall-paper which ultimately drives her insane. More than anything else the narrator describes the yellow wall-paper and her interaction with it. This story is full of irony, symbolism, and madness.…
The lyric "Where There's a Wall" by Joy Kogawa utilizes symbolism and imagery to upgrade the adequacy of the sonnet's message. Like most different ballads, "Where There's a Wall" contains a few layers of importance, and requires the peruser to burrow through the little points of interest and samples keeping in mind the end goal to see the broad view.…

Mexican muralism offers us one of the most politically charged and expressive art forms of the 20th century. David Alfaro Siqueiros and Jose Clemente Orozco are two of the three so called triumvirate of Mexican Muralists, the third being Diego Rivera. Both of the artists have a unique style and a strong sense of morals and political ideals. Their styles are similar in the sense of the amount of expression and movement in their pieces They also share a common ideology that shows up often in their work. Siqueiros’ Portrait of the Bourgeoisie and New Democracy along with Orozco’s American Civilization and Catharsis show you a great cross section of Mexican Muralism, revealing the passions and beliefs of the time period.…
The World House, a piece of literature written by Martin Luther King Jr, A great civil rights activist/leader, writer, and philosopher. In the passage, he talks about an idea from a famous novelist who died which was “A widely separated family inherits a house which they have to live together.” (J. L. Judith Nadell 597) (J. L.

Do you know who your biological father is? Do you know what your heritage is? I do, but some children do not because they were left for adoption for some reason or another. Do not misunderstand me, adoption is a great thing, and there are plenty of children without parents right now waiting to be adopted. I have the distinction of knowing who my father is. He and I have the same last name. My heritage starts and ends with my father. This is where my troubles begin, my father was a war baby and the morals and values of society at that time did not allow for such transgressions. My biological grandmother on my father’s side had an affair while her husband was off fighting in World War II. My father was put up for adoption through a church and adopted by a family with the original last name of Shell. In her essay, Kadaba talks about how names were changed or Americanized so to speak. For example, she talks about how Christopher Annas changed his last name, due to embarrassing mispronunciation in English, Lini S. Kadaba, “What’s in a Name?” (pg 175). My heritage is already forever changed by my last name as Milton had changed his name from Shell to Schell.…
