Kana Tritch Rebecca Miller ENG 1020 09/18/14 A Mother’s Day Kiss-off; Critique “A Mother’s Day Kiss-off” was written by Leslie Bennetts to change the male view of everyday mothers.

Tomson Highway’s "Kiss of the Fur Queen" is my favorite of what we have read so far. Vulgarity‚ creativity and abstract language are some of my favorite characteristics in writing.

It seems as though he almost appreciates what they have done for him. Granted‚ Jeremiah was given a chance to

For my cultural event‚ I attended the “Can I Kiss You” lecture‚ as part of the Date Safe Project‚ which was about consent and understanding when you actually have it.

William Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew as a feminist work; however‚ it is largely the opposite. Petruccio’s actions can been seen as patriarchal‚ enforcing the generally misogynistic culture of the day‚ and Kate‚ the supposed feminist hero‚ is presented to both the characters in the story and the audience as spiteful‚ vicious‚ and generally spoiled. The only real reason to wed Kate‚ it seems‚ is for financial gain. However‚ modern critics still attempt to proclaim Kate as the model of female

Storm The theme of the storm is a figurative and symbolic one of Lust‚ Passion and Adultery and we see it illustrated alongside nature. The main characters Alcee and Calixta find themselves alone during the peak of the storm. In reading “The Storm” by Kate Chopin she referenced the approaching storm by saying “… it began to grow dark…” which was setting the stage for this love affair between Calixta and Alcee. The storm was about to defer Calixta’s husband and son who wasn’t home at the time leaving

compensate for dialogue. The choreography done by Agnes de Mille integrates dance into the lives of the frontiersmen (and women) of the Oklahoma territory. The 20th Century Fox film version released in 1955 had key differences than the current Broadway musical. One of the main differences other than a little extra dialogue was the utilization of dance. In the film dance was not used as a primary asset to the production. The impact of dance could be described by comparing the stage performance with the film

Bailey Weber Todoran Period-8 3/4/12 Kate Chopin Many people look at Kate Chopin’s writing as all one sided for womens’ rights. The idea of her being a woman and wanting gender equality blinds people about a more important message. This message is that all people have faults about them and that some men can be strong and some can be weak‚ and the same goes for women. Humans‚ more or less human nature itself‚ have many flaws about them. Kate Chopin uses figurative language to create a main character

In "The Locket" by Kate Chopin the conclusion is predictable. Kate Chopin has a history of writing short ironic stories.

They jokingly agree that it must be a charm since he has not been injured in over a year of fighting. The locket was a parting gift from Edmond’s beloved Octovie . After a heated battle the next day‚ a priest discovers the locket around
