Melody Graulich's Analysis
(confusing phrase: reword) In an important essay, Melody Graulich notes how "rigid dichotomizing of sex role" in most frontier myths have "often handicapped and confused male as well as female writers" (198), " (this quotation mark should not be here)(this can be paraphrased) she wonders if a "(take the quotations out and rephrase) universal mythology"(refer to Purdue in_text citations MLA format) (198) (is this an explanation? Where does the quote end please reword)(commas needed) might emerge that is less confining for both of them.

    Analysis Of The Piano Man's Daughter By Timothy Findley

    A great philosopher and a writer, George Santayana once said, “Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it”. This phrase by Santayana has deeply touched many people’s hearts and encouraged them to look back at their pasts. Everyone has a shameful history that one deliberately and desperately endeavours to hide and ignore, or sometimes forced to hide and ignore. However, whatever the reason might be, hiding and ignoring is not the wisest solution to one’s problem, because it often initiates bigger problems. One must accept to face the past and truly learn from past mistakes in order to prevent the repeating of the same mistakes. The novel, The Piano Man’s Daughter deals this idea of learning from past mistakes, and the author Timothy Findley does expands this idea further to the possibility of inheriting the same mistake to the next generation. The Piano…

    Analysis Of Kathleen M. Higgins's 'The Music Of Our Lives'

    In Kathleen M. Higgins work The Music of Our Lives she discusses her theory on how music positively benefits us, not only as a culture, but an individuals. She opens her writing by elaborating two very profound quotes on the importance of music, one by Plato and the other Confucius. Both quotes, alone with Higgins words, come to the conclusion that music is a central tool in promoting harmony in the soul and connecting our cross cultural society. Kathleen M. Higgins than goes on to compare the views of Allan Bloom. Despite devoting a chapter in his book Closing of the American Mind to maliciously attacking rock music, he keeps in mind that music still serves a ethical function. Bloom expresses how deeply music sears deep into the souls of…

    Analysis of "Eminem Is Right" by Mary Eberstadt

    Mary Eberstadt begins her excerpt from Home-Alone America: The Hidden Toll of Day Care, Behavioral Drugs, and Other Parent Substitutes by addressing the parental agenda on adolescent popular music and its degradation. She implies that the argument is ironic, stating that the parents of today’s teens are of the baby-boom generation where counterculture served as no stranger. But Eberstadt agrees with the parents. She too believes the popular music of today is much darker than that of the baby boom, comparing themes of misogyny, sexual exploitation, and violence to the trends of past generations.…

    Josef Weber I M Lady Gaga Analysis

    “It is one of the commonest of mistakes to consider that the limit of our power of perception is also the limit of all there is to perceive.”(Leadbeater) Many people believe the way something is perceived, is always the way that it appears to be. In reality, there might be more to a person he is willing to show. If we assume that the way someone or something is seen is always as it appears to be, we would be lying to ourselves. A surplus of people are not exactly how they are seen to be. We should not judge someone too harshly as we may not have all of the facts or details of what is really happening to a person. Perceptions can override our abilities to correctly judge our peers and even ourselves, which can be very impactful.…

    Karen Horney's Analysis

    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…

    Elisabeth Gidengal's Theoretical Analysis

    Elisabeth Gidengal challenges this argument and suggests that it is not women’s socialized reserve that causes the gender gap, but men’s willingness to offer opinions even if they do not necessarily know the answer. Gidengal offers an alternative explanation. She suggests that men’s higher levels of opinion expression are really masking a lack of political opinions. She implies that men and women fall prey to the social desirability theory, which states that individuals will answer according to how society thinks they should answer. This is particularly relevant when discussing the gender gap. Men may think they have to answer political questions because traditionally the political arena is reserved for men. Women may be more hesitant to answer…

    The Lady Of Shalott Analysis

    Tennyson's poem "The Lady of Shalott" relates the story of a woman cursed to remain inside a tower on Shalott, an island situated in the river which flows to Camelot. No one knows of her existence, as her curse forbids her to leave the tower, forever bound to weave a tapestry illustrating the wonders of the outside world by the means of what she can only see through the reflections of a large magic mirror. As the poem progresses, so does the lady's tiredness of her lonely existence in her tower, growing "half sick of shadows" (Tennyson 71), until one day Sir Lancelot on his way to Camelot "flash'd into the crystal mirror" (106) enticing the lady to "[leave] the web, [leave] the loom" (109) and look down onto him immediately breaking the curse.…
