    Diary of Miss Jane Pitman

    Ernest James Gaines was born in Oscar, Louisiana on a plantation in 1933. Of African American heritage, he was a good sport with his family and understood that hard work was a necessity in life. At the young age of only nine he aided his parents in the field working for fifty cents a day. He looked up to his handicap aunt, Augustine Jefferson, as she was his role model in his early youth. She inspired him and opened his eyes to setting a strong path for the generations to come. His mother and step father uprooted and moved to California when Gaines was fifteen. This was a great opportunity for his passion to read and write since the public library was for all races. The lack of African American study or authors pushed him even more to fill the shelves with the history of his race. At seventeen he sent his first novel to a publisher, but this was soon rejected and sent back. Later in his life he rewrote this and sent it again. While attending San Francisco State College he wrote a short story that was published in 1956. Two years later after graduating he studied creative writing at Stanford University until 1959. Gaines has written many short stories, novels, and has won many of awards as well, including the National Books Critic Circle Award. He was given most of his attention from the public after he published Of Love and Dust in 1967. Four years later The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman declared him as a literary icon for American fiction.…

    Margaret Edison’s play Wit is about Vivian Bearing, a professor of seventeenth century poetry, specializing in John Donne. She is a strong willed intellectual being treated for ovarian cancer. Vivian lives a very secluded life and avoids human emotional contact. Just like any tragic hero, Vivian has flaws that prevent her from human kindness, which leads to her downfall. Her treatment of cancer causes her to realize that she needs emotional connection, which she has missed her whole life. Although her flaws are her intellect and wit that cause her an inability to connect emotionally with people around her, she becomes noble because she begins to express her emotions and accept kindness.…

    An essay on Margaret Edson's play, "Wit" about Vivian Bearing dealing with her treatment of cancer.

    "How are you feeling today?" asked doctor Jason Posner in his usual automatic, inattentive salutation to Vivian, which is both humorous and distressing. There is a connection between Vivian Bearing and Jason Posner. Prepped for research and scholarship by Vivian herself (he took her class on the metaphysical poets) Jason possesses many of the same traits as Vivian. He is smart, ambitious, dedicated to the complexities of his medical research, and inept at human relations. Like Professor Bearing, who could be overbearing with her students, Jason prefers research to "the part with the human beings." Both Vivian and Jason are arrogant and unfeeling, much to their own detriment. Vivian is forced to temper her arrogance when illness becomes agony. Jason's arrogance causes him to make a serious blunder when he tries to resuscitate Vivian despite her do not resuscitate (DNR) orders.…

    Mrs Woodson Interview Report

    One of the most unexpected parts of the interview was how Mrs. Woodson interpreted women of color’s self-esteem. While my research shows that African-American and Black girls have the highest self-esteem, Mrs. Woodson stated, “I think other ethnic groups probably have more self-esteem or portray they have more self-esteem.” This discussion about self-esteem among different female racial groups lead her to talk about her own daughter. She talked about how she would show her daughter articles of women, of color and of other races, who were achieving great things in many professional fields. With a combination of her high expectations for her daughter and influential role models, Mrs. Woodson feels her daughter was given the self-esteem and self-confidence…
