Abstract
This paper discusses how Anne Frank speaks out through time and space in her now famous diary. The paper notes how in the beginning of the diary, her voice sounds joyful and without worries. It matures and hurries up along the story as if to deliver and share as much of the unreal reality as possible.

From the Paper
"Anne Frank speaks out through time and space. In the beginning her voice sounds joyful and without worries. It matures and hurries up along the story as if to deliver and share as much of the unreal reality as possible. The diary was started as a "no big deal", the "notebook" that was awaiting the birthday girl in the room. Such mastery, such Divinely inspired art of a writer - to begin her life story with a birthday celebration, a life story which is to be cut short so soon, so cruelly, a story..."

Abstract
The paper explores Shadd's prominent role as the first Black woman in North America to edit and publish a newspaper. Moreover, the paper looks at how Shadd vehemently rejected the strictures imposed upon her by virtue of being female and black and how she self-consciously carved out for herself a very public position on a wide array of issues. To determine what precisely it was that made Mary Ann Shadd so different from so many other women, this paper examines her upbringing, education, and the role Quakerism played in shaping her. Finally, the paper discusses her many accomplishments as a publisher and as an educator and concludes that she lives on because she was a prototype for a new kind of black woman who would not tolerate second-class citizenship.

From the Paper
"The following paper will look at Mary Ann Shadd and assess her important place in North American (not merely Canadian or American) history. To wit, the ensuing several pages will look at Shadd's prominent role as the first Black woman in North America to edit and publish a newspaper when she brought into existence the Provincial Freeman in Windsor, Ontario, during the 1850s. Moreover, the paper will look at how Shadd vehemently rejected the strictures imposed upon her by virtue of being female and black and how she self-consciously carved out for herself a very public position on a wide array of issues. To determine what precisely it was that made Mary..."

This paper discusses the characters Stesichorus, Geryon, Geryoneis, and Herakles from Ann Carson's "Autobiography of Red", explaining their alter egos in mythology.

From the Paper
"Ann Carson's "Autobiography of Red" features the names Stesichorus, Geryon, Geryon's red dog Geryoneis and Herakles. Carson did not invent these figures, they have a reality outside her fiction.

Inspired by Homer, he specialized in long narrative poems having mythological themes and wrote similar stories such as "The Wooden Horse" and "The Capture of Troy". Stesichorus is said to have been struck blind for writing a..."

Abstract
This paper discusses how Anne Stevenson's poem, "The Victory", is more than just a vivid depiction of childbirth, as one might interpret it from a surface level. The paper first gives the reader vital tools to interpret imagery and uses examples from the poem. The paper then dissects the poem and analyzes each word and verse, describing the meaning behind the imagery.

From the Paper
"Anne Stevenson refers to the child as a 'tiny antagonist.' She is describing the baby as a rival who is fighting against her. When giving birth, you are not in control, no matter how much you try to control things. It seems as if the baby is working against you throughout the process. The phrase 'blue as a bruise' perhaps refers to the child being born, yet not breathing. Therefore, the baby is blue and struggling. 'The stains / of your cloud of glory / bled from my veins' are lines to give some thought to. Stains are something permanently affixed. 'Cloud of glory' could refer to the baby's entrance into the world. These four lines seem to state that when the baby entered the world, struggling for breath and feelings for this child were permanently ingrained into the mother's blood, regardless of how 'gory' the birth was or how much the baby fought against the process of birth."

Abstract
A literary analysis of Anne Bradstreet and her role in early American literature. The paper discusses her poem, "The Author to her Book," and its origins, as well as the roles women in the seventeenth century were expected to play.

From the Paper
"The theme Bradstreet used when calling her work her offspring continued throughout the poem, and only emphasized her distinctive style of writing poetry. Her work was quite unlike the work of many male poets of the seventeenth century. Though she was very cautious in publishing her work, America and society found a brilliant Puritan writer of her time. Although society in that era looked down on women as published writers and intellectuals, Bradstreet's quality of work speaks for itself."

Abstract
This paper explains that Anne Bradstreet lived and wrote poetry during the middle decades of the 17th century. The author examines the Puritan themes in two of Bradstreet's more recognized works "To My Dear and Loving Husband" and "Verses Upon the Burning of Our House". The paper compares these two poems to reveal the Puritan themes of devotion to one's husband and devotion to one's God.

From the Paper
"Anne Bradstreet lived and wrote poetry during the middle decades of the 17th century. At that time, she was incredibly steeped in Puritan tradition, owing to her cultural heritage and upbringing. This fact is incredible evident in her poetry, as it expresses many of the dominant themes of Puritanism. This essay examines two of Bradstreet's more recognized works - "To My Dear and Loving Husband" and "Verses Upon the Burning of Our House." The two poems will be compared in order to demonstrate how both works are an expression of Puritan ideology, namely the primacy of men and God. "To My Dear and Loving Husband" is a poem about just what the title would have readers believe. Amazingly, there is no irony or sarcasm lurking beneath Bradstreet's lines."

Abstract
This paper examines and analyzes the plot, story, main character, and themes of Ann Petry's "The Street." The paper explores the topic of how one's perception of morality can change when faced with racism and oppression.

From the Paper
"The story is a story of the environmental impact on a character, in this case Lutie James as a member of society with multiple strikes against her, from the fact that she is a woman and that she is black, to the fact that she is poor. Her fall is heightened by the fact that she is innately honest and hard working woman, and her own personal sense of integrity seems to provide a nobility that will carry her or make her seem sympathetic to the reader. She is also highly intelligent, combining with her street level perspective on the way things are in society."
