Abstract
This paper contrasts the novels ?Madame Bovary? and ?Anne of Green Gables? in terms of their strong imaginative rebellious heroines that impacted their society at the time of the release. Both books had enormous popularity in their time. The paper explores how these heroines significantly express the power of imagination and literature in the lives of ?everyday? women. Their lives are examples and warnings for temperance.
From the Paper
"At first glance, the improbable comparison of Flaubert?s Madame Bovary to L.M. Montgomery?s Anne of Green Gables seems amusing and far-fetched. Although written in different languages over fifty years apart, and representing completely different societies, there is a connection. Bovary is a vulgar tale of adultery and struggle, ending in suicide. Anne, a children?s novel, portrays the life of a small orphan on P.E.I. So what is it that continues to connect the two in my mind?"

Abstract
This paper explains that Anne Frank in her bibliography "Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl", being a typical teenage girl, was incredibly emotional. The author points out that the circumstance in which she recorded these sentiments was such that they were always overshadowed by her immense fear. The paper relates that, in the first few diary entries written in the Annex, although slightly afraid, Frank does not realize the true level of danger she is in and therefore fills page after page with detailed but mundane descriptions of daily life in the Annex. The author then explains that, as Frank matures, she begins to empathize with the apprehensiveness felt by the adults and, as a result, her fear begins to increase. The paper stresses that, in a child's mind, death is not a feasible occurrence; therefore, she can allow herself to believe that she does not fear it.
From the Paper
'In this entry, as well as many others, she discusses her constant fears of being caught by the Germans while hiding in the secret annex with her family. This entry is especially powerful because it sheds light on the fact that, in such small cramped conditions, there is little to do but let your mind wander. When put in a situation where you can not talk or laugh too loudly for fear of capture, all that one is left with is his or her thoughts and for a young girl, this can cause immense fright. As she points out on this same page of her diary, everything she says or does leads her back to thoughts of fear."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the character, Anne Shirley is more than a character in a book. She has been a friend and kindred spirit to millions of people over several generations. It shows how we relate her adventures to our own lives and filter them through our own experiences. Anne grows from childhood into adolescence, from adolescence to adulthood and beyond and each step of the way the reader is there with her, sharing her decisions, facing her fears and relating it to their own lives. The paper discusses how the growth and individuality of L.M. Montgomery?s Anne Shirley in "Anne of Green Gables", "Anne of Avonlea", and "Anne of the Island", depicts an inner struggle from self-delusion to self-awareness that can be recognised within us all.
From the Paper
"The novels are over, Anne finally realized she loves Gil, and their future seems set, so why do we still need more? What is it about Anne Shirley that has kept a world at her side for close to a century? Epperly captures it best when she states; ?we cannot fully explain Anne?s hold over us?(46). My mother and grandmother both read Anne?s story before me, loved her spirit, and secretly wished to be her. Three generations of women enraptured by one small girl with the heart of a lion. Why? ?Anne Shirley continues to live on today because she does not conform to reader expectations, to cultural stereotype, or accepted convention?(Epperly 70). I like to believe Anne Shirley lives on today because each of those readers would consider her a friend and kindred spirit and has held and cherished a piece of her in their hearts since they first discovered her. There is something about Anne that brings out the best in people. Her imagination, her joy in every common thing, her virtues and her faults; Anne is an icon for attaining our dreams."

Green vs. Green, 2004.
Examines the war between environmentalists and corporations in the 1990s.

Abstract
The 1990s, in particular, was a time when environmentalists and nonenvironmentalists came to bitter loggerheads regarding the fate of the earth's natural resources. This paper shows how governments responded to pressure from both sides in a bid to appease the needs of both sides; the Greens demanded the protection of rare species and forests, and the corporations required resources to make a profit and provide employment and food for millions of people.
From the Paper
"Here it is the local Indian traditions of vegetarianism, and non-violence that work toward the tiger?s preservation as a species. The Vice-President of India?s statement underscores the need for local peoples to look toward their own traditions for answers to environmental and other questions. Problems are seen as being imposed from the outside, and thus, to be successful, the solutions must not be viewed in the same way. By appealing to traditional Hindu values, the current Indian government can counter the conflicting claims that some tigers turn man-eater, or that old and weak tigers decimate the small flocks and herds that are among the few possessions of impoverished peasants."

The Cuthbert's as Foster Parents, 2008.
An analysis of the Cuthbert's as suitable foster parents in L. M Montgomery's "Anne of Green Gables".

Abstract
This paper discusses how two of the major questions raised by "Anne of Green Gables" are whether Marilla and Mathew Cuthbert were successful foster parents and what type of challenges they faced as foster parents. The argument is made that Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert were successful foster parents and that they provided all of Anne's basic needs(food, water, shelter, etc...), they provided her education, they guided her through life in Prince Edward Island and they provided love and support. It attempts to show that all of these feats were complicated by the fact that, the Cuthbert's were questionable foster parents initially and that Anne was poorly suited to the rigid social environment of rural life in Prince Edward Island.
From the Paper
"Marilla seems to be the perfect example of what the average person in the Avonlea Community is supposed to be like. She finds it extremely difficult to deal with Anne. To a large extent this is because Anne is such an imaginative free-spirit. Marilla is totally against being imaginative. She even says to Anne, "When the Lord puts us in certain circumstances He doesn't mean for us to imagine them away"(Montgomery 1993: 57). This statement indicates that Marilla and Anne have totally different worldviews. These conflicting worldviews cause a great deal of conflict between Marilla and Anne."

The Romantic Fates of Jane Austen and Anne Elliot, 2001.
This essay compares the romantic life of novelist Jane Austen with that of her character, Anne Elliot in "Persuasion".
1,205 words (approx. 4.8 pages), 5 sources, $ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper draws comparisons between ?Persuasion?s? Anne Elliot?s romantic struggles and that of the author, Jane Austen, suggesting that nearing the end of her life, the author was reflecting on how her own life may have eventuated had she married the man from her youth, instead of remaining single. The author examines other relationships in the novel and how those relationships represent the alternative fates Anne may have suffered had she not gained the strength to take an active role and marry for love.
From the Paper:
"Jane Austen's final novel, "Persuasion", is an insightful portrayal of the challenges faced by women in the 1800s. The story seen through the eyes of the heroine, Anne Elliot, gives readers an impression of the influence that nineteenth century society could have on a woman's fate, had she not the strength to resist. Anne Elliot's character changes from passive to active over the course of the novel. It is in this way that she avoids the alternative fates dramatized for her by other women in the novel and ironically, by Jane Austen herself."

Abstract
This paper examines the social roles of women and men in Jane Austen's novel "Persuasion", with particular focus on the character Anne. The paper points out that in the novel men are able to rise in social standing by working hard while women have to resort to marriage as a way to gain status in society. The paper also relates that, at first, Anne follows pre-established social roles, which stress the importance of gaining wealth and status through one's external image. The paper then explains that Anne's reliance on such superficial images comes at the cost of morality.
From the Paper
"In comparison, Anne's superficial beauty fades while Mr. Wentworth's personal qualities persist over time. Mr. Wentworth's appearance has improved over his eight-year absence, while Anne's beauty withers: "The years which had destroyed [Anne's] youth, and bloom had only given [Mr. Wentworth] a more glowing, manly, open look, in no respect lessening his personal advantages. She had seen the same Frederick Wentworth." (Austen 44) Symbolically, Mr. Wentworth's strong qualities are everlasting, while Anne's weak qualities vanish. Mr. Wentworth embodies a "strong mind, with sweetness of manner", while Anne's qualities and ideals are easily shaped by the influence of others (Austen 45)."

"Significantly Anne's fifteenth birthday is only two months away from her last letter to Kitty, to her people, to the world. Anne went the path of the righteous, the path of self improvement, growth, faith:" People who have religion should be glad, for not everyone has the gift of believing in heavenly things... It isn't the fear of G-d but the upholding of one's own honour and conscience."

A "Little bundle of contradictions" , who did so well in perfecting her traits, and returned her pure soul to her Creator."

Abstract
This paper examines how Anne Elliot, the protagonist of "Persuasion" is, like most Austen heroines, witty, clever and considerate. It also shows how Anne is feminine while possessing none of what Austen clearly sees as the negative characteristics of her gender.
From the Paper
"At first Anne Elliot seems an unlikely heroine in contrast to Emma and Elizabeth. She is not venerated or held in any special position by her own family. She is seen as inferior and is unable to persuade them or advice them. They generally view her as extra luggage and her sister prefers the opinion and company of Mrs Clay instead. In contrast to Emma who is held in high esteem by her father and by everyone who is acquainted with her. Elizabeth too is held in high esteem by her family and is the central figure in her environment. Both Emma and Elizabeth are consulted before any important decisions are taken by their families. "

The Poetry of Anne Bradstreet's Poems, 2000.
This paper analyzes Anne Bradstreet's views of how the Earth cannot fulfill her heavenly desires.

Abstract
By reviewing Anne Bradstreet's poems ?The Flesh and the Spirit? and ?Upon the Burning of Our House? , this paper analyzes Anne Bradstreet?s views of how the Earth cannot fulfill her heavenly desires, in which only God can. Her concern with how people become less attached to God when they have many material possessions is another theme that is addressed in the paper. Finding God?s will though hard work, prayer, and sacrifice is the only way to attain salvation, according to Bradstreet. The reluctance of people to practice these values makes the world an evil place to live in, according to the poet.
From the Paper
"The pursuit of spiritual gains rather than earthly items is a major theme Bradstreet uses to show how important eternal salvation is for humans, especially the Puritans of her time. Bradstreet illustrates how important it is to look to heaven in her poem, ?The Flesh and the Spirit.? She states, ?My garments are not silk nor gold, / Nor such trash which earth doth hold, / But royal robes I shall have on, / More glorious than the glist?ring sun? (304). According to Bradstreet, all the riches of the Earth cannot compare to what is stored in heaven, which contains treasures far beyond imagining. This unimaginable treasure stored in heaven should be motivation enough to pursue God?s will. She also describes in the poem achieving eternal salvation from working God?s will rather than pursuing earthly desires. She says, ?The stately walls both high and strong, / Are made of precious jasper stone, / The gates of pearl, both rich and clear, / And angels for porters there; / The streets thereof transparent gold, / Such as no eye did e?er behold? (304). Heaven is two times better than Earth because not only does it contain an infinite amount of treasure, but it is made of treasure as well. Bradstreet feels the Earth does not offer this type of reward, and in essence fails her, because the world contains nothing more than weak-willed people who choose to sin."

The Art of Anne Rice's "Interview With the Vampire", 1999.

Abstract
This is a book review and a character review of Anne Rice's "Interview with the Vampire". The author describes how Rice does not create "absolute" characters so they are not all good or all evil.
From the paper:
"A surefire classic has been produced by the esteemed novelist Anne Rice. This brilliant artist has created Interview With the Vampire, an eerie, "realistic" saga of the life of a vampire, narrated by the angelic demon himself. The themes and moods were recently captured on film, yet the book still captivates audiences with its versatility and forlorn expression. This piece of art does not only convince a reader of its realism, but it also defies the classic "good versus evil" theme."

Abstract
This paper discusses how Anne Moody, a young woman in Mississippi, and Malcolm X, a former prisoner and convert to Islam in the North, were part of the movement that realized that blacks in the United States needed to develop a positive identity for themselves, or they would always be below white society in terms of economics and perception.
From the Paper
"Black writers of both fiction and non-fiction in the 20th were instrumental in the civil rights movement that culminated in the 1960?s. Black literature since the first accounts of slaves has provided scholars with an accurate portrayal of black life in America; typically blacks would write in the form of an autobiography or a fictionalized autobiography to escape ridicule. Whether in the Jim-Crowe afflicted communities in the south or the ghettos of the urban north, black people were outside American society prior to the 1960?s. This situation was considered immutable by blacks early in the 20th century, but later, better-educated blacks stepped forward in the 1950?s and 1960?s and started a protest movement designed to foster inclusively."

Abstract
This paper will compare the poetry of Anne Bradstreet and Edward Taylor as they implicitly set forth their perceptions of God and his kingdom and their stance toward divinities in two or three works. By understanding this way of divine poetry, we can see how they use God as a position for inquiry into the matters of theology and the beliefs they have in a higher power.
