Abstract
This paper briefly analyzes and assesses Ruth Fainlight's memorable poem, "Flower Feet". In so doing, the paper looks at the physical shape of the poem, the curious decision by Fainlight to abandon many commonplace poetic devices (while still judiciously using others) and the powerful relevance of the poem even to today's world.
From the Paper
"One of the most obvious things about Ruth Fainlight's impressive poem is how the lines of the work vary in length; they are disjointed, in other words. For instance, the opening line of the poem has eight syllables in it; the second line has ten and the third line has eleven syllables. This uneven pattern is continued throughout the course of the poem and the unevenness of this sort of construction can be seen as a sort of metaphor for the inequality of forcing women into what amounts to crippled servitude just so that they can satisfy male ideals of what constitutes beauty and femininity.|"

From the Paper
"The purpose of this research is to examine the issue of gendered speech as reflected in selected twentieth-century poems. The plan of the research will be to set forth the way in which male and female poets use the language to express the emotional life and social experience of women with reference to X.J. Kennedy's "In a Prominent Bar in Secaucus One Day," Ruth Fainlight's "Flower Feet," and Anne Sexton's "Her Kind," and then to discuss how the patterns of ideas expressed in these poems appear to reflect certain embedded social experiences that the poets seem unable to escape.
What is most striking about the drunken woman's monologue of memory is that it appears to violate virtually all social conventions associated with appropriate female speech. According to Tannen, women, especially those who find themselves the center of atten

From the Paper
"To understand the marketing mechanism of Foot Locker, it is important to also understand the nature of the business in which they excel. Foot Locker is a major player in the direct sales of athletic footwear, accessories and apparel to virtually every demographic and market segment due to a diverse selection of retail concept stores and a growing online identity. The marketing that Foot Locker undertakes involves well known athletes to a great extent, with the rationale that if the average person can't play football like their favorite professional player, they can at least look like him or wear his name and number across their backs. In the midst of this marketing effort, Foot Locker also utilizes growth and expansion as a marketing tool. At the present time, Foot Locker is gaining a stronghold in Ireland and has yet unnamed new territories in which to place stores. For as large and far reaching as Foot Locker is right now, there are still areas in which Foot Locker has not gotten involved, and must do so to continue growth as well as to maintain what it has gained in other countries and parts of the world as well.

?Six Feet Under?, 2004.
A review of the television show, ?Six Feet Under?.
1,651 words (approx. 6.6 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how "Six Feet Under is unique among American television shows in its depiction of sex and gender. It examines how, because it is an HBO cable series, the writers are offered considerable leeway in the use of partial nudity and coarse language, and how, ironically, Alan Ball, the writer/executive producer/creator of "Six Feet Under", keeps the show relatively free of gender bias or stereotypes. It also looks at how depictions of sexuality in the series are realistic and tasteful, not nearly as sensationalized as they are often shown on network television. In particular, it shows how Episode 13, entitled ?Knock, Knock? reflects the mores, folkways, and values in American culture, including those that have to do with sexuality and gender.
From the Paper
"In the opening scene, a female executive is shown on a golf course, the casual business arena usually reserved for men. Yet she berates and taunts one of her managers, thus taking on the role of the man both in her body language on the course and in her speech. She shouts, ?Growth is the only thing that?s acceptable!? and later belches, both gestures that in American culture are considered to be masculine. Unfortunately, a woman in power is shown not to exhibit positive character traits. Rather, she has taken on the negativity, insensitivity, and immorality of her typical male counterparts. This scene is more a critique of corporate culture than it is of gender roles, but it remains unique in that depicts a total gender role reversal."

Foot Binding: A Custom Becomes a Metaphor, 2006.
A study of the Chinese custom of foot binding as it appears in literature and film.

Abstract
This paper examines the ancient Chinese custom of foot binding. The paper details the history of this ritual and the socio-cultural role it played in Chinese society. Then the paper turns to an analysis of the metaphoric significance of foot binding in literature and on film. Works studied include the James Michener epic novel "Hawaii" and the film "The Hawaiians", which is based on the novel and the film "The Inn of the Sixth Happiness".
From the Paper
"James Michener explored the Chinese culture in his epic novel Hawaii, which was made into two films, the second of which, The Hawaiians, dealt with the Chinese woman Char Nyuk Tsin, and her husband, Kee Mun Ki. While the practice of foot binding is never a central theme or issue of either the novel or the film, it is an underlying element in the plot structure and character development. Char Nyuk Tsin is a peasant woman of Hakka, a mountain village that traditionally does not bind the feet of their women, since they are required to carry heavy loads up and down steep and rocky terrain. A rival neighboring village practices the custom, considering it a mark of ignorance that their neighbors leave their women's feet to grow naturally.When the Chinese are imported to Hawaii to work in the fields, the first women allowed on the islands are the women with strong, unbound feet. Chinese women with bound feet are not among the early Chinese allowed to relocate in the Hawaiian Islands, since their usefulness as laborers is limited."

?Wind and Window Flower?, 2006.
A review of Robert Frost's poem "Wind and Window Flower".
950 words (approx. 3.8 pages), 0 sources, $ 33.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines how Robert Frost's "Wind and Window Flower" dramatizes the conflicts between stability and change, between love and death and between subtle and dramatic strength. It looks at how by personifying the wind and the window flower, the poet transforms observations of the natural world into characters in a story.
From the Paper
"The poem consists of seven stanzas of four lines each. Each line has either six or seven syllables, but there is no strict regularity of syllables per line. The poem has a definite and compelling rhythm that helps dramatize the central narrative: the story of the wind and the window flower. Just as a deft storyteller will captivate his or her audience with the rhythmic intonations of the voice, so too does the narrator of the poem captivate the audience through poetic rhythm. The first stanza of the poem differs from the rest in both meaning and in rhythm, as in this stanza the narrator addresses the audience directly as an introduction to the tale."

The importance of flower meanings and symbolism in Shakespeare's "Hamlet".

Abstract
This paper examines the contemporary meaning of the flowers used by Ophelia in ?Hamlet.? The meaning of the flowers have been carefully researched and their use and relevance is discussed. There is also a discussion about stage directions and Ophelia?s lack of voice.
From the Paper
"In the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century, it became a popular trend to speak in what was called ?the language of flowers:? a system where different flowers had different meanings, and entire thoughts could be conveyed through a carefully arranged bouquet. Throughout Shakespeare?s tragic play, Hamlet, this language of flowers is used quite prominently, particularly in relation to Ophelia, Hamlet?s love. Her flowers ultimately become her voice: all her life she is the lone female surrounded by father, brother and lover, but it is through this language of flowers which she may speak, not in words, but in a way which is completely understood by her contemporaries, since it is safe to say that Shakespeare?s original viewers would have been knowledgeable about the ?meanings? of different flowers, much more so than today?s audience. This conclusion can be reached not only by looking at the period during which this trend was popular,[1] but mainly because some of the most important parts of the play make no sense without a basic knowledge of these meanings."

"The Flower" and "Antigone", 2004.

Abstract
The first part of the paper considers the use of metaphor in the poem "The Flower" by Dylan Thomas. The second part of the paper considers Antigone's status as a tragic heroine and her culpability in Sophocles' "Antigone."
From the Paper
"In the poem "The Force That Through the Green Fuse Drives the Flower," Dylan Thomas utilizes a clever metaphor to make a powerful commentary on the endless cycle of life and death. Thomas achieves this by drawing a parallel between the life of man and nature itself as he implies that the same life force that drives man forward is the same one that inhabits nature, including the flower mentioned in the poem's opening line."

Abstract
This essay discusses the negative impact that the experimental brain surgery has on the character of Charlie Gordon in "Flowers for Algernon". Charlie has an IQ of 68 and has an operation, which turns him into a genius. This sweet, innocent protagonist is transformed throughout the plot of the novel into an egotistical and intelligent man. His transformation is discussed in a negative sense as well as his quick deterioration, which ultimately lowers his IQ to less than in the beginning. This essay shows common human flaws and shows us many messages about the sanctity of life.
From the Paper
"Every person is born with his or her own special characteristics, talents and flaws. Although many people attempt to change various aspects of their own lives they should appreciate who they are and give up the longing for perfection. In the novel "Flowers for Algernon", by Daniel Keyes, the protagonist, Charlie Gordon, has an operation in hopes of raising his IQ. Charlie is born retarded and has an IQ of 68. His mother abuses him, his parents abandon him because he is too much strain on the whole family, and his friends constantly laugh at his expense."

Death in ?The Visit? and ?The Man with the Flower in His Mouth?, 2002.
Examines and compares the theme of death in Friedrich Duerrenmatt's "The Visit" and Luigi Pirandello's "The Man with the Flower in His Mouth".

Abstract
Friedrich Duerrenmatt's "The Visit" and Luigi Pirandello's "The Man with the Flower in His Mouth" are allegorical plays in which certain characters confront death. The paper shows that the human - an allegorical figure of death - is, in both plays, a female character. In Pirandello's short piece she is the wife of a terminally ill man who follows him everywhere, but does not speak. In "The Visit", death comes in the form of Claire Zachanassian, the multimillionaire who returns to her hometown looking for revenge--or justice--for the sufferings she went through as a girl.
From the Paper
"In this idea of waiting for death at home, with time "measured by the ticking of the big clock in the dining room," is the notion that death should become part of life, which is symbolized by the clock and the passing of time (6). His wife, or death, is attempting to get him to integrate death with the rest of his experience. But he sees them as two completely separate things. Death is not the culmination of life but a terrible interruption that has nothing to do with living."

Abstract
This study compares and contrast the nature and dramatic significance of the confrontations with death of the main characters in Stephen Crane's story "The Open Boat" and Luigi Pirandello's play "The Man with the Flower in His Mouth." The study focuses on death as a frightening, enraging and appalling force for the two men in Pirandello's play and a violent and powerful force of nature in Crane's story.
From the Paper
"Crane's "The Open Boat" shows death to be a powerful force which is everywhere and cannot be denied or forgotten. Death in the form of the powerful sea confronts the four men in the story from beginning to end. Death waits for them in every thought as they consider trying to reach the shore. The men in the boat are simple men who must face death with no pretense, for their lives literally hang in the balance. They must either struggle to live, or prepare to die as best they can. The four individuals must not only deal with the very real possibility of their own deaths, but they must deal with the moral decision which may cost them their lives while saving the others' lives. The author seems to suggest that the Captain gave his life to make sure that the others survived (Crane 15)."
