Abstract
This paper has analyzed the back-to-nature theme that is found within these two poems by William Wordsworth and John Clare. By analyzing a "Mouse's Nest", Clare offers a natural reminder to civilized man that animals live very differently, and have to survive under very different, and often brutal conditions. For Wordsworth's "Lines Written a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey", the landscape of the Abbey define a return to Nature, as Wordsworth associated this place with his youth.

Abstract
A rhetorical analysis of the film version of Clare Boothe Luce's "The Women" (1939), employing Burke's dramatistic pentad and the feminist social critique as the framework of discussion.

Abstract
This essay will critically appraise the article "Doing health, doing gender: teenagers, diabetes and asthma" by Clare Williams published in journal Social Science & Medicine, volume 50, issue 3, pp. 387-396 in 2000. In this article, Williams looks how the socially constructed male and female identities influence how teenagers live with two acute chronic diseases: asthma and diabetes. Both chosen diseases require constant treatment and Williams tries to understand the way in which boys and girls, through their masculine and feminine identities, accept the necessity of treatment and adhere to it. The paper does not give clear hypothesis that Williams would either confirm or reverse through her study.

Abstract
This analysis of Michelle Cliff's novel "Abeng" focuses on the struggles of protagonist Clare Savage as she tries to forge her own identity in the midst of Jamaican society that is structured around oppression definitions of race, class, and gender. The analysis demonstrates how she forges a more aware consciousness through a number of relationships.

From the Paper
"In Michelle Cliff's semi-autobiographical novel, "Abeng", we are provided with the protagonist Clare Savage. The daughter of a white father and a black mother, Clare comes of age in a society controlled by racial ideology. For Clare, British controlled Jamaica posits a dualistic dilemma of identity. Personal identity and personal relationships are often ripped asunder due to race, even between her white father and black mother. Clare faces a variety of individuals and experiences as she tries to rid herself of the oppression of Jamaica's colonial..."

From the Paper
"The main characters in the novels The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and Passing by Nella Larsen are both passing in the sense that they are trying to be something they are not, creating for themselves an illusion that they believe convinces other people that they possess an identity. Both books are set in the 1920s but in very different worlds, Gatsby in the world of the rich and would-be rich on Long Island, and Passing in Harlem in New York City. Each of the main characters--Jay Gatsby in the Fitzgerald work, Clare in the Larsen novel--is in the process of passing, of making a journey from one world to another, a journey that is thwarted in each case because it is a journey that is ultimately destructive.

Larsen is clear about what passing means to her as she writes about Clar...",

Abstract
This paper examines how Michelle Cliff's novel "Abeng", about Jamaica, lights the pathway to self-discovery through characters such as Clare and makes the pathway brighter through characters like Zoe. It looks at how on the pathway to self-discovery, with the help of family, Zoe and society, Clare is able to grasp a better understanding of who she is and how Zoe is able to see more clearly what sets her apart from her own people and walks away understanding who she is and who she is to become.

From the Paper
"In the Jamaican society people are classified by color, race, gender, class, and even language. Race serves as another identity crisis for Clare because she does not know if she is considered black or white by other people in Jamaica. She comes to find that her father is superior to her mother because he is both male and light-skinned where her mother is female and dark-skinned. She sees that she is classified by race because she becomes her father's daughter, because he, like her is light skinned. Clare's sister is considered her mother's daughter because she, like her, is dark skinned. This challenges Clare's interior identity."

Abstract
This paper looks at how Michelle Cliff's "No Telephone to Heaven" takes the truism that human beings tend to seek or derive a sense of identity from family, race, peer group recognition, nationality, and the social strictures of the world at large and applies it to the struggle of a young Jamaican woman, Clare Savage. It discusses how, by virtue of her skin color, education and experience of living in the United States and England, she is caught between three different worlds as she searches for her sense of identity. It shows how, ultimately, the novel's main message is to demonstrate that, though nationality, race, family, sex, social class and education are strong influencing factors on an individual's identity, a true sense of self and identity can only really be formed through a process of self-discovery and development achieved through gaining knowledge and acceptance of the truth.

From the Paper
"Michelle Cliff uses Clare's search for her identity to trace parallels to Jamaica's search for its own identity and to comment on the effects of colonization on the colonized. For one, the difference created between "black Jamaica" and "white Jamaica," is in itself a deterrent to any forming of a national identity. It is here that interesting parallels can be drawn between Clare and the island itself. Clare is motherless and infertile. So is Jamaica. Jamaica does not have a mother (England is too different) and cannot be a mother itself as it is so torn within itself with too many different influences preventing the formation of a concrete national identity (Western Michigan University Web site)."

Abstract
This paper examines how Larsen's novels "Quicksand" and "Passing", focus much of their attention toward the enigmatic, frustrating confines of race in early 20th century American culture. It looks at how racial identification and awareness becomes complicated and ultimately causes life-changing conditions for the three main characters in Larsen's novels, Helga Crane, Irene Redfield and Clare Kendry.

From the Paper
"Born to a Danish mother and Caribbean father, Helga Crane's mulatto complexion, which allows her access to both white, upper-class European society and the upwardly mobile confines of black culture during Harlem's Renaissance, ultimately leads her to motherhood in the deep South, embroiled in the same inner-racial conflict and unhappiness that has plagued her entire existence. In each of Quicksand's various settings, from an all-black schoolhouse in Alabama to Copenhagen's patronizing social scene, Helga finds that "if you couldn't prove your ancestry and connections, you were tolerated, but you didn't "belong"" (Larsen 12). While she is undoubtedly met with cautious acceptance in each of her various habitats, it is Helga's own misgivings surrounding her background, however, which are most important in determining her constant, self-imposed alienation. "

From the Paper
"Tragedy is formed in a number of forms and influences people's life in different ways. Most of them suffer the tragedies with a lot of pain ; but people also contribute to the tragedy unconsciously , as well as consciously. Ignorant of the consequences that would subsequently follow , lustful characters play crucial roles in the life of the scapegoat.As Goethe says in his masterpiece Faust ; "While man's desires stir, He can not choose but err." In the novel of Thomas Hardy , Tess of the D'urbervilles , tragedy be falls on the protagonist ,Tess Durbeyfield. Despite her innocency and poor decisions which lead to her destruction; Tess's parents, Angel Clare, and Alec D'urberville contribute to the tragedy."
