Abstract
The paper examines "Annie John" and discusses the development of the young girl in the story, Annie, throughout the many stages in her life. The paper conveys the close relationship that Annie shares with her mother, then the rift in their relationship and how Annie tries to replace her mother. The paper describes Annie's major revelation that she must move on and escape from her mother.
From the Paper
"Sometimes it is more appropriate to say that the child is the father of the man rather than to say it the other way around. Simply put, the relationships, experiences, and the life that we live when we are young, in turn, shape who we become as we get older. Such is the case in Jamaica Kincaid's short narrative Annie John, where the reader witnesses the development of a young girl, Annie, throughout many stages in her life. The novel Annie John is thus a narrative bildungsroman, "a novel that recounts the development of an individual from childhood to maturity, to the point at which the main character recognizes his or her place and role in the world." Notable, too, is that the book has an initial situation which is reversed as the plot unfolds, and that ultimately leads to a powerful revelation (Miller)."

Abstract
This paper examines the book, ?Annie John?, by Jamaica Kincaid, the story of a girl growing up on the island of Antigua. In particular, it looks at the ways that Annie John's need to leave the island is related to her rejection of the traditional gender expectations placed on her by both family and friends. It also discusses how the mother-daughter relationship described in "Annie John" can be seen as a paradigm of the relationship between the powerful and the powerless.
From the Paper
"As Annie grows older, she begins to question the cultural beliefs of her island world. In school she at school she intuitively rebels against authority. What is most frightening for Annie however is that her mother begins to see Annie as a young lady, instead of the little girl she once was; an object of unconditional love and adoration. Her mother now seems to become her adversary. When she finishes her, Annie decides to leave Antigua and her family, but not without hint of sadness, especially for the mother she formerly knew and never stops mourning. ?For I could not be sure,? she surmises, ?whether for the rest of my life I would be able to tell when it was really my mother and when it was really her shadow standing between me and the rest of the world? (p.107)."

Abstract
"Annie Hall", by Woody Allen, is a film that deals with relationships, the quest for meaning in life and the nature of romantic love. The paper examines the film which revolves around the relationship between Alvy Singer, a pessimistic comedian who thinks that life is meaningless, and Annie Hall.
Paper Outline:
Introduction
A Relationship is Like a Shark
A Deeper Analysis
Conclusion
Bibliography
From the Paper
"Just as history entails a working out of events through narrative, so also all narrative establishes an anticipation of retrospection. The natural desire of narrative for an ending is evident about two-thirds of the way into Alvy Singer's opening monologue, "Annie and I broke up and I still can't get my mind around that." Alvy gives us the ending of the story before he really gets started into the process of telling it. The anticipation of retrospection becomes clear in the attempt through repetition to understand the significance of this failed love relationship. The eruption of this thought about Annie from the midst of so much seemingly irrelevant material dramatizes the existence of latent desires and replicates in the text the tension of the unconscious in Alvy."

Woody Allen?s "Annie Hall", 2002.

Abstract
This paper discusses Woody Allen's ambivalence toward his Jewish identity and toward love as portrayed in "Annie Hall". The author points out that, to Allen, Judaism is more a secular ethnic identity than religious. The paper explores Allen and his characters as neurotic protagonists that employ humor as both a defense mechanism and a communication device.
From the Paper
"Alvy?s humor both exacerbates and assuages his sense of misplacement. Alvy?s brand of humor is distinctly Jewish: Full of cultural references and self-deprecation. It also hints at the discomfort of being Jewish that is rarely expressed explicitly in Allen movies. Alvy tells Rob, ?The failure of the country to get behind New York City is anti-Semitism. I?m not discussing politics or economics this is foreskin.? Humor here serves as a buffer against anti-Semitism and parallels Alvy?s ambivalence towards his ethnic minority. His sarcasm embodies the tension and duality of being pulled in two directions."

Abstract
This paper studies James Merrill's poem, Annie Hill's Grave", in terms of its sounds and how the sounds relate to the subject matter of the poem, death. Through an analysis of Merrill's use of assonance, alliteration, rhyme and iambic and trochaic feet, the paper explains how the sounds reflect and represent the meaning of this poem.
From the Paper
"In the first stanza much alliteration exists; "s" sounds predominate. Also, the "k" in "casket" is repeated in "like"; there are "t" sounds in "casket," "visit," "airtight," and "comfort"; there are "n" sounds in "Necropolis" and "not," "nice," and in a way in "amen," "streamlined," "one," "want," "underground," and "round"; and "w" sounds are found in "would," "one," and "want." Interestingly, a particular consonant sound tends to repeat within the same line."

Abstract
This paper discusses and reviews the 1982 musical , "Annie", based on the successful Broadway production. It examines the choice of John Huston as director and discusses the characterization in the film. The paper examines several of the more successful characters such as Carol Burnett as Miss Hannigan. Finally, the paper looks as the songs and music in the film.
From the Paper
"Characterization may be one of the film's most successful qualities. Carol Burnett is brilliant as the drunken Miss Hannigan, who runs the orphan's home with an iron hand, usually grasping a bottle of booze. She may not be politically correct today, but she is certain hilarious in the film, which is probably why writers gave her some of the film's best lines, including: "Why anyone would want to be an orphan is beyond me" ("Annie"). Albert Finney as Daddy Warbucks is perfect as the millionaire with a heart of gold, who at first doesn't want anything to do with the little orphan who eventually charms him. By the end of the film, he truly becomes her "father," when he tells her, "You are special. Never stop believing that" ("Annie"). Rooster, played by veteran actor Tim Curry is one of the strangest characters in the play. Curry is excellent as the demented villain who only wants Annie for the reward money offered to locate her "real" parents. His continual crowing is an amusing touch to a character that could become a little too scary for younger children."

Abstract
Accordion Crimes examines the immigrant experience in the United States by using the conceit of an accordion made by a Sicilian immigrant that passes from one family to another, one generation to the next, one ethnic group to another.
From the Paper
"E. Annie Proulx?s novel Accordion Crimes examines the immigrant experience in the United States by using the conceit of an accordion made by a Sicilian immigrant that passes from one family to another, one generation to the next, one ethnic group to another.
Each section of the book relates variations on the theme of the American immigrant experience. In each case people that somehow do not fit into the mainstream of American society must learn either to live on the margins or to make compromises with their sense of self-identity so that they may fit in. Such compromises involve the same decisions in each generation: changing one?s name, one?s religion, one?s sense of loyalty, one?s profession, the scope of one?s dreams. Failure to make such changes often subjects the characters in the short term to the .."

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine The Shipping News by E. Annie Proulx as an articulation of a narrative strategy that lends legitimacy to the feminist social critique by way of the aesthetic power of representation behind modern female social and psychological experience. The plan of the research will be to set forth the pattern of ideas in The Shipping News in general terms and then to discuss, with reference principally to the character Aunt Agnis Hamm, means by which the novel articulates women's experience and legitimates that experience as feminist social critique.
The action of The Shipping News does not focus mainly on Agnis but rather on her nephew Quoyle, a lumbering hulk of a widower whose faithless wife Petal had done a lot of emotional damage to him and their two daughters before selling the daughter..:

"A Pilgrim at Tinker's Creek", 2006.

Abstract
Annie Dillard's Pulitzer Prize-winning book, A Pilgrim at Tinker's Creek, is set in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. This paper examines chapter 3 which is entitled "Winter." Despite the chilling cold Annie Dillard must face in the mountains. It looks at how the chapter not only focuses on Dillard's struggle to survive the elements and the wilderness with few resources. It also discusses how chapter 3 also includes the author's perceptions of the local animal populations struggle to cope without the help of civilization's comforts and how she uses both literary metaphors and also facts about the animal world, gleaned from scientific as well as literary study.
From the Paper
"Dillard notes that her attempts to survive alone, indoors, means she must "bloom" like a "forced forsythia," or like a delicate, fragrant, and hot house grown flower in all of its glory. Because she is exposed to warmth and sun artificially, against the nature of the climate, she is full of energy indoors, yet the outdoors strikes her carefully tended constitution as unduly harsh. This metaphor suggests that the winter is not keeping with the author's natural inkling for outdoors and warmth. (40) But still Dillard bears up. Thus, Dillard, by this metaphor, suggests she is a summer or spring person by nature who prefers to be free and unencumbered, but there is a incongruity between her inner nature, and the outer, winter nature of the harsh mountains."

Abstract
This paper explores two stories by Edgar Allen Poe, "The Fall of the House of Usher", and "The Pit and the Pendulum". These stories are considered in relation to a poem Poe wrote called, "For Annie", a verse written for a friend of his, Annie Richmond. The theme of this paper is about "darkness," where darkness is a metaphor that imbues Poe's horror stories with themes of consciousness and experiences with terror. Because Poe was especially interested in the susceptibility of the imagination, this paper attempts to "imagine" Edgar Allen Poe in relation to varying metaphors of darkness that characterize the author's life and literature.
