1. The space in the world of Trifles is very enclosed and isolated. The remoteness of the crime scene reveals that there was little to no interaction between Mrs.Wright and the outside world.

Dear reader‚ I started reading this book during a car ride and I quit just 20 pages in. I realized if I was going to make it to the end‚ I would need to sit down and devote my full attention to it. I trudged through 100 pages‚ and I was still utterly confused. The author kept on switching between perspectives‚ which I noticed was a constant throughout the entire book. Nothing made sense to me at the end of each chapter‚ but I persevered and finished the book. I’m glad that I made the decision to

Susan Strehle’s article “I Am a Thing Apart”: Toni Morrison‚ A Mercy‚ and American Exceptionalism” argues that Morrison’s novel criticizes the notion of American exceptionalism because it directly links to the emergence of racism from the concept of otherness. Another important argument in Strehle’s article addresses Morrison’s use of historical events such as Nathaniel Bacon’s rebellion‚ the Salem witch trials‚ and the spread of smallpox to the Native Americans to emphasize the exploitation of

In this essay‚ I object to the argument in favour of illegalizing the production‚ sale‚ and consumption of porn based on the premises used in Susan Brison’s essay “The Price We Pay”?

Brison argues there to be no moral right to pornography

Frédéric François Chopin “He had fair hair‚ blue-grey eyes and irregular but distinguished features‚ his nose being markedly aquiline. His whole person was characterized by refinement and high distinction….In him we have the unusual spectacle of a proud‚ reserved and passionate spirit housed in a frail and ailing body….he surrendered himself to the torrent of passionate music which flowed from the piano when he abandoned himself to his inspiration.” (Hedley 72-73).
