    Analysis of Karen Russell

    • 938 Words
    • 4 Pages

    St. Lucy’s Home for girls Raised by Wolves, Karen Russell’s collection of fantastical short stories take all that is mundane and fractures it into a fantastical world with humor, dramatic tone, or cultural/religious undertones. Russell whirls a reader into her stories with her capability to encase a reader in the story with her repetition of one’s senses. Constantly brining in the senses of a reader brought in the smells of a surrounding from the protagonist or in this case the narrator. In St. Lucy’s Home for girls Raised by Wolves, our narrator, Claudette, speaks from the mind of a half human half wolf in transition. Of the pack’s reaction to the nuns, how Sister Josephine “tasted like sweat and freckles” (226) after Claudette bit her ankle, which she “smelled easy to kill” (226); how the mousy social worker was “nervous smelling” (226), eventually Claudette herself “smelled like a purebred girl, easy to kill” (242). When the sisters were reunited with the brothers they no longer smelt as of family they knew but of “pomade and cold, sterile sweat” (241). Russell creates such realistic imagery in a non-realistic world. Not just with scents but with a sense of touch sensory. How the girls went “knuckling along” (224) the floors when they first arrived; even when speaking, their ineptitude to force their tongues to “curl around our false new names” (229) creates such realistic imagery you sense your tongue running across your own teeth.…

    Karen Horney's Analysis

    • 1718 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Karen Horney defines a basic anxiety as insidiously increasing, all pervading feeling of being lonely and helpless in a hostile world” (Horney, 1937, p.89). When a child experiences basic anxiety they can develop self defense mechanisms. These self defense mechanisms can become very common throughout the child’s life. So common in fact, that they become a permanent part of one’s personality and become a neurotic need. Horney developed a list of ten neurotic needs that could be categorized into three neurotic trends: moving towards other people (the complaint personality), moving against other people (the aggressive personality) and movement away from other people (the detached personality) (Shultz & Shultz, 2013, p.164). An apparent connection can be drawn between Horney’s neurotic trends and Timothy Keller’s chapter “The Seduction of Success” in his book Counterfeit Gods. According to Keller, “a sign you may…

    Abigail Smith Adams is best known for the letters she wrote for over a half century, but also she is historically visible because she was the wife of one president of the United States (John Adams, 1797–1801) and mother of another (John Quincy Adams, 1825–1829). The stream of her letters that began in the early 1760s and ended with her death in 1818 represents the most complete record that survives of a woman's experiences during the Revolutionary War era and subsequent decades in American history.…

    On August 9, 2014, at 12:02 p.m., white police officer Darren Wilson fired the ninth shot which would prematurely end the life of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager. This polarizing event sparked public outcry, protests, and major controversy as it went on to further stoke the flame of the growing Black Lives Matter movement ("What Happened in Ferguson"). Just four days after the event, amidst the chaotic and controversial fallout, American artist and political activist Richard Williams released a spoken word video titled: "Michael Brown, Same Story." Better known by his stage name, Prince EA, Williams's spoken word tribute to Michael Brown portrays the various factors that interplay in the racial tension between blacks and whites. He…

    Winona Ryder’s statement about Abigail Williams’ character is very controversial. I believe, unlike Ryder, that Abigail was indeed a villain. Much like her friends, Abigail loved being the “talk of the town.” Once Abigail realized she was receiving attention from the town, she found ways to keep it by accusing people of witchcraft. In Act 1, Abigail says, “...I saw Sarah Good with the Devil! I saw Goody Osburn with the Devil! I saw Bridget Bishop with the Devil!” This proves that Abigail made many false accusations against other townspeople to keep the attention on herself. On the other hand, some might believe that Abigail is innocent. People claim that Abigail and her friends are doing it for fun and games at first, but not long after,…

    Maria W. Stewart analysis

    • 306 Words
    • 2 Pages

    It is through the growth of “moral worth and intellectual improvement” that Maria Stewart believes the African American race will prosper and be accepted by the white community. Continuing on the topic, Stewart qualifies that no person, white or black, is content with their lives if they are forced to perform menial jobs when they clearly obtain the capability to hold jobs that far surpass the skill level of the “servile labor” they find themselves executing. She even goes so far as to say that if her lot in life was to make a living performing such a task and knowing there was “no possibility of rising above the condition of” the job, she would rather die. In the following sentence she personifies chains, such as those in slavery (and the newest, more modern form of slavery – being stuck in menial jobs), as those of “ignorance and poverty,” to once again display the “horrible idea” that would be to support such slavery. For it is impossible to “enrich” one’s life when spending it “washing windows, shaking carpets, brushing boots, or tending upon gentlemen’s tables” in that once you return home from such a job at the end of the day, the motivation to engage in more substantial, intellectual activities dies. To conclude, Stewart makes the point of attempting to connect with her new, white audience by stating that their American blood flows through her. She is careful to say “your blood” as opposed to our blood because she is aware that due to her previous colloquial language used when reaching out to her black audience, her more intelligent crowd is now skeptical to whether or not she shall be accepted into the likes of their group or calculated as another “lazy and idle” member of what they view to be the African American…

    Community cannot for long feed on itself; it can only flourish with the coming of others from beyond”- Howard Thurman. The role of community in literature is used to question the meaning of community, to explore conflict and further analyse the cultural semiotics of a community.In Alice Walker’s “Everyday Use” and Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Young Goodman Brown”, community creates a segregation between personal semiotics and communal tradition.Communities require the evolution of the forbidden to forge the prospering of cultural semiotics and acceptance of ‘otherness’ influences.This essay explores the aspect of exclusion within a community; continuing to analyse the setting.
