The main idea which I wish to explore with my research paper is the female role/motherhood in the Victorian period. The primary text from our class that I will most likely be using is Aurora Leigh by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. The idea of the paper is to expand on the idea of how motherly figures within the work present different iterations of the role of a female during the period. The secondary sources I will be using for the assignment will, first off, outline the accepted role of a female during the period. The sources will also cover other topics such as a motherhood based argument on Aurora Leigh itself by expanding on each of the motherly figures throughout the piece. Also, the texts will provide me with focusing

She called the Houston Police Department after committing this evil act who arrived at the scene and took Yates in custody and questioned her. She revealed the details of how she drowned her children one by one and put them in their beds and left her six-month old daughter floating dead in the bath tub before she drowned her last child who was seven years old.

    What is Jazz? Well it depends on who you are asking. Where you come from, and believe it or not, what kind of culture you are raised in. “Jazz is a type of music of Black American origin characterized by improvisation, syncopation, and usually a regular or forceful rhythm, emerging at the beginning of the 20th century.” Now, you would think Jazz is a very fundamental genre to obtain but, that is not the case. Being a “Vocal Jazz Studies Major”, I observe the art of Jazz frequently, and I have come to realize there are several different forms of Jazz. For example, Swing is a form of Jazz that originated in the 1930’s which gave more of the dancing, head bobbing, and foot tapping feel to the atmosphere. Along with Swing, Fusion Jazz is also known as Jazz-Rock. It is mixed with Funk and R&B. There is one particular thing that both forms share, and that is they both require you to be energetic but, have you ever just wanted to listen to a song without feeling the need to sing or do too much? Have you ever wanted to listen to music for a change so you could relax? Have you ever wanted something that will give you the feel of an ocean lightly moving from the blow of the wind? I know I have and you can as well.…

    Social classes in America have been a rising issue. Many People don’t think that social classes matter very much, they believe that you are either rich or poor: there is no real in between. Whereas there are really nine classes with top out of sight being the highest class and bottom out of sight being the lowest class. In between though there is seven other classes: upper, upper middle, middle, high proletarian, mid proletarian, low proletarian, destitute and bottom out-of-sight. This is made very clear Paul Fussell’s book Class: A Guide Trough the American Status System. Fussell makes these classes very clear and well defined. In the film Grand Canyon directed by Lawrence Kasdad, characters representing different classes come together and form relationships. The main one being the upper middle class lawyer Mack and a high prole tow truck driver Simon. The two meet and gain insight on how different classes behave and act. This gives one another a special look into another social class. The different classes expressed by Mack and Simon in the film Grand Canyon are shown by the clothing worn, Housing and job titles.…

    Womens issues in the 1800´s.

    These women authors have impacted a male dominated society into reflecting on of the unfairness imposed upon women. Through their writings, each of these women authors who existed during that masochistic Victorian era, risked criticism and retribution. Each author ignored convention and proceeded to write about women 's issues. They took the gamble and suffered the consequences, but each one stood by what is just and reasonable. They were able to portray women as human beings, rather than as totally self-sacrificing and sanctified women, as was expected of women in that era.…

    People commit murder for many reasons, whether it is out of anger, love, jealousy, pure rage, etc., but why is it that we never speak of those who just seem more inclined to the extreme emotion, or lack of, that can lead to murder? In fact, “Approximately 1 in 25 adults in the U.S.—10 million, or 4.2%—experiences a serious mental illness in a given year that substantially interferes with or limits one or more major life activities.” (Mental Health by the Numbers) Based on the statistics, a decent chunk of Americans are burdened with a serious mental illness (S.M.I.), but not all of those who are impacted take the next step to get help.…
