...Bachelor2 Literary Analysis of Riders to the Sea The chosen work for this literary analysis is Riders to the Sea, by J.M. Synge (1903). This piece is written as a classical drama. This form of writing is written with direction for setting creation and stage direction for characters included as its form is to be set into action. What is so delightful about this type of writing is that when reading, your imagination is taken to the scene enfolding before you. The characters need not speak every word to portray their emotion to you. Their subtle movements and changes in set symbolically convey visual meaning. After reading the play, it is just as interesting to see it performed. You will want to see if the director of the play has picked up on the subtleties that the playwright has included that have already captured your own mind or emphasized symbolism that you did not absorb. There are several portions of this play that stood out to me as saying more than what most would glean important. The first is a soliloquy made by the two daughters concerning the death of Michael. They are clearly worried how the impact of the news of Michael’s death will impact their mother. They are worried most about her and not of their own loss of their brother. This leads to dramatic irony, as now the audience knows more than the protagonist about what is the sisters believe has happened. The dramatic irony is further proven when the daughters inspect the stitching and fabric of...

...Personal Application of Criminology Paper CJA/314 Version 2 Criminology 02-27-2011 Personal Application of Criminology Paper When a person is in a situation like this, they may have a million things going through their heads, sometimes not and they’ll just proceed with calling the Police. With this situation one can handle it in a few ways, first call the police, then proceed with calling the boy’s parents, and tell my son what happened. If one can find out why this situation came about, meaning why your son’s friend came into your house by using a break in tool such as a lock pick, finding out that information would be helpful to have. The first thing a person should do is follow out with the most professional steps for the well-being of the boy, but keep your best interest at heart as well by keeping yourself safe. It’s important the parents know that their child has been involved in a crime instead of them finding out in the worst way with him calling after they have booked him in his cell. However, another reason one should call the parent because of course they may have never known that they’re child was doing things like this, and they may be able to talk some great deal of sense to him that may make him see the light of what he was doing, and if he does, the parents can talk to the police possibly and prevent him from going to jail and let them handle it. If not and the boy has to stand in front of a judge for what he did and he gets convicted of it then, the boy...

...Brandon Standard 5/5/14 period A Mrs. Mazz Tension in the father son relationship is represented throughout the play. The tension that is so prominent in the play is between Willy and Biff. The tension is because Willy wants Biff to become and salesman like himself but Biff wants to take a different path and work with his hands and enjoy life. Another reason that there is tension between Willy and Biff is because Biff walked in on Willy cheating on his mother. There is one scene towards the end of the play where Willy and Biff have an argument after Biff leaves him in a restaurant. This scene shows how much tension they have in their relationship. In this scene Biff tells his father that he is nothing and always will be nothing. Biff also tells Willy that he will never turn out to be a salesman like him. * Tension in the father son relationship can be faced in modern society through sports. Fathers always imagine there son becoming a star athlete and try to mold them into being this. Most of the time the son is not going to be a star athlete and this is something that is difficult for a father to deal with. All off their hopes and dreams are in their son so if they don’t turn out to be exactly how you want them to than it is disheartening. Tension in the father son relationship can really hurt a family and break them apart. A father has a special bond with his son because they are both men of the house, it is different than having a daughter or the relationship...

...Some Rules for Writing on Literary Topics... referring to the author - first reference use the author's full name. Subsequent references use the author's last name only, or call them the writer, the author, et cetera. Mark Twain would become Twain. referring to the title - in your thesis use a complete reference to the title of the work. Subsequent references, use the title if it is short. If it is long, make it shorter by picking out the key words. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn would become Huckleberry Finn. • • On the citations, for a short essay on one literary work you don't have to use the author's last name inside the citations. One last thing. When you write a thesis on a literary work, it is a good idea to add the following to the thesis: 1. 1. the author's name 2. 2. the title of the work 3. 3. the genre (story, poem, play novel) This will have the effect of making the thesis a little longer than you may be accustomed to. For right now, don't worry. Just try to get it all in there. We may talk about splitting the thesis into two sentences later on. The samples on "A&P" followed this pattern. 9 Steps to Writing on a Literacy Topic (LINK) Assignment One page with thesis and evidence on any story from week 2 or week 3 of the syllabus - If you are up for the challenge I am adding a musical performance to the list of options....

...Having a child of your own is considered one of the best things that can happen to a woman. But in some parts of the world, just a child is not enough. Rather at least one son is preferred, if not more. Countries in East and Southeast Asia, like China and India, have centuries old beliefs that an ideal family needs a son, and from these beliefs developed practices of infanticide or gendercide, the killing of female children. However, these beliefs did not necessarily originate in Asia but were in fact prevalent in Ancient Greece and Rome as long ago as 200 BC. There were six thousand families living in one city of Greece and only one percent of them had more than one daughter. Centuries later, demographic data from India shows that during the British rule, there were about six boys for every girl and in some villages there were not any girls at all. While most people in the modern world believe infanticide and son preference is a non-issue because it has declined, the fact remains that these issues are actually on the rise due to advances in technology, the economy, and a preference for small families which in turn leads to preferring a son over a daughter. Statistical data shows that the number of girls killed in infanticide is more than the number of men killed in all of the wars of the twentieth century (Manne, 2010). That number is staggering and astronomical enough to prove to naysayers that infanticide is in fact an issue that needs to be solved because it has consequences...

...The Decline of the West Every family has its own problems, and sometimes we just feel like our own is the worst. But we never think about how others may feel, and there is always someone somewhere that has it far worse than what you do. However it can be rough, and bad times feel like the universe is going down. The situation is actually only that you are going through a fase in your life, and that it will go over soon. But it might be difficult to realize that when you are in it. Some people also do not realize how important love and the bond in the family is. Nowadays people care way too much about material things and the blame is probably on the society. In the text, “The Decline of the West” by Hanif Kureishi, we see a family situation of a father who actually tries to do a lot for his family, but they do not appreciate it. We follow the family from the minute the father gets home from work, and then throughout the evening, so it is chronologically built up. Mike, who is the main character in the story, starts out by telling what he would wish the family would turn out to be, but then we start hearing about his real life, and what issues he is dealing with. We hear about the problem he has with his food, the boys and then in the end what problem he has with his wife. She is a very difficult wife, and not at all what he really wanted her to be. His dream-family is actually the right opposite of what they are. He describes it as, “he´d been looking forward to opening the...

...Sierra Seibold Miss Orians English 9 8 February 2016 Like Father Like Son Nishan Panwar said, “Son needs his father at every situation he face in present and father needs his son at every situation he face for his son in past.” The quote shows that fathers need and will need help from their sons, the same way sons need help of their fathers. Fathers, like Laertes and Poseidon helped their sons, just like Telemachus helped his father, Odysseus. Father son relationships in the Odyssey are used for helping each other. Telemachus helped his father take his palace back and ridded of suitors. Homer states, “Telemachus, true son of Odysseus belted his sword on, clapped hand to his spear and with a clink and glitter of keen bronze stood by his...

...The Role of the Father There is an old saying that goes, "like father, like son." This describes the passing down of personality traits from generation to generation (in this case, father to son) in such a way that the mannerisms of a son almost directly mimic the mannerisms of his father. It is common that most children unknowingly inherit some of their parents' idiosyncrasies, but it is not always clear why. In Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, the character of Biff, although he is hesitant to admit it, shares many emotional characteristics with his father, Willy. This may be due to the fact that both men have similar relationships and feelings about their fathers, whom they both resented and, at the same time, aimed to please. This causes...
