Abstract
This paper discusses the ideas of naming and power, in Alice Walker's "A Color Purple." It looks at how the ability to give someone a 'name' is a show of power and that, by accepting a name that someone else has given you, you have given up power and allowed them to give you an identity. The paper contains references to feminist essays, as well as numerous references to the text itself.
From the Paper
"Celie begins to change when she is given the name of ?caretaker? for Shug. It is during this time we see the different ways in which Mr. ____ is viewed. To Shug, he is a real person, and thus she calls him Albert. When Celie hears Shug talking she says, ?Who [is] Albert?then [she] remember[s] Albert [is] Mr. ____ first name (Walker 49).? Up until this time, Celie hasn?t seen Albert as anything but Mr. ____. To her, Mr. ____ represented the patriarchal society she lived in; all males were simply Mr. ____ to her. Here Celie?s eyes begin to open up to new ideas."

Abstract
This paper examines how "Rose, Rose, I Love You" by Wang Chang Ho is the subversion of the delicate language of the flowers of Western romance and looks at how the subversive use of language, in general, is the language of prostitution and rapacious pimps. It explores how the story is actually a satirical tale of a community?s inability to become completely cognizant of the true meaning of such metaphorical constructions of the English language.
From the Paper
"Sexuality is another means of course that individuals may make common connections between one another in a physical and also in a cultural fashion. However, the novel begins with a deflation of such highfalutin attitudes towards sexual discourse as well as linguistic discourse. The novel begins in the world of the main protagonist whom may be said to represent ?language? in the novel, and also the way that Americans and the English language in general are often perceived in Asia. In the persona of the overfed, economically rapacious secondary school English teacher, English becomes personified as an intrusion upon local culture, rather than a positive influence."

Abstract
This paper, in addition to detailing Rose's life, describes the controversy around his ethics. The paper points out that Rose was banned for life from baseball as punishment for gambling on the games, and he has not been induced into the Baseball Hall of Fame. The author feels that Rose's ethical behavior and his baseball skills need to be separated and that he should be admitted.
From the Paper
"Others, including many baseball players, feel Rose got his just desserts when he was banned for life from baseball. His arrogance rubbed against the grain of many fellow teammates. Former teammate, Joe Morgan, describes how Rose always played hard with his chest strutted out, saying, ?I never say anybody who played every game like it was the seventh game of the World Series, not even me??but? ?A lot of guys say they wouldn?t come back if Pete gets in?. Bob Feller believes no one would come back. When Johnny Bench was being inducted into the Hall of Fame a few years ago, shouts of ?We want Pete? came from the crowd, to which Bench responded, ?You can have him? Bench clearly has no sympathy for Rose. Recently during a radio interview, the commentator remarked that society has become liberal enough that there is common acceptance for many things such as recovering alcoholics and drug addicts, ?so why not gambling?is betting illegal?? Bench remarked, ?It is if you?re playing the game?Everybody says ?Oh, that?s Pete.? Then everybody is betrayed? "

"At first, Sophie did not know her brother had any part in the leaflets, but when she visited his room, she saw a book marked with a passage that had been reprinted in the leaflets. She grew frightened because she knew her entire family was in danger if he was caught. Three more leaflets came out in a few more days, and they were found throughout Munich, sometimes in mailboxes. Some they were found in other southern German cities, too. Then the leaflets stopped because all the students had to fight in Russia during the summer break. Sophie went home, and while she was there, she heard from a nurse that all the children in the hospital for the mentally ill were sent to concentration camps and exterminated. While Hans and Werner were fighting, they found out their father was in prison for his remarks about Hitler. They took it as a "mark of distinction" (Scholl 39). On his way home, Hans gives a Jewish prisoner a daisy and a chocolate bar, and she put the daisy in her hair after he left."

?A Rose for Emily?, 2005.
This paper reviews William Faulkner's short story "A Rose for Emily".
760 words (approx. 3.0 pages), 1 source, MLA, $ 27.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that many of William Faulkner's short stories such as "A Rose for Emily", which he wrote in 1931 and originally appeared in his "These Thirteen" (1931), a collection of short stories, are set in fictional Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi and are concerned with the interconnected fortunes of a group of families of different social classes from the Civil War to modern times. The author points out that "A Rose for Emily" is a descriptive story about an isolated sort of "creepy" woman who is the "talk of the town". The paper concludes that "A Rose for Emily" is very suspenseful because of Faulkner's use of flashbacks and the third person point of view by the characters of the town, which make the story come to life and seem real.
From the Paper
"William Faulkner was born into a genteel Southern family and was raised
in Oxford, Mississippi, where he attended the University of Mississippi. Following World War 1, during which he served in the Canadian air force, he settled in Oxford, Mississippi, and worked for a time in the post office until he was forced to resign. He was lax in his duties and often became absorbed in writing or reading. Faulkner was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1950."

Abstract
This paper focuses on characterization techniques used in "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner. The author uses narrator biases and symbolism to illustrate the character of Emily and to give us an insight into her decayed mind. William Faulkner's short story, "A Rose for Emily" is not as much about murder and mystery as it is about a woman's struggle against time and future where the narrator is used as a tool for effective characterization.
From the Paper
"The struggle between past and future was actually taking place in those days, people were rapidly leaving small Mississippi town to move to large cities to explore better job opportunities. While this change was taking place outside, it was the world within that required dramatic readjustments. Those who failed to make these adjustments suffered from numerous problems as past clashed with the future and their old values were threatened by the strong winds of change. Imagine what effect this must have had on people like Emily. Faulkner has first hand experience of this massive change and understood the emotional and psychological problems that were associated with change. In this story he has tried to highlight those problems and has made it clear that it is important to come to terms with reality as and when it changes because otherwise one might become a living corpse."

It looks at how Rose's article suggests some helpful ways to deal with the problem of student motivation, including the potential influence of one key figure in a student's life or through extrinsic rewards.
From the Paper
"This is not a novel or innovative idea, as the concept of educator expectancy on student achievement has been studied since the 1960's. In a landmark 1966 study, Rosenthal and Jacobson examined how the expectations of teacher's affected children's performance by randomly assigning students as either bright or dull. In the study, Teachers scored students who were labeled as "bloomers" with higher grades than students labeled as dull. A 1974 follow up study by Chaiken, Sigler, and Derlega got similar results. The authors video- taped the interactions between teachers and children in a classroom setting, and noted that teachers smiled more often at supposedly gifted students, maintained more eye contact with the bright students, and responded more positively to their comments."

Moreover, Roses Forever is fully exploiting the land available to it to make flowers, so it is not being inefficient in that respect."

Wallpaper and Roses, 2002.
Comparison of the short stories "A Rose For Emily" by William Faulkner and Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper".

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
William Faulkner's "A Rose for Emily" and Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "The Yellow Wallpaper" both tell of female characters who descend into madness. However, each of the characters encounter madness for very different reasons. The paper shows that both short stories also include the issues of the difference between illusion and reality. While these issues are present in both stories, they are used in very different ways. The paper explains that the major similarity of the works is that they both illustrate the need to recognize reality, with the theme of each being how illusions can prevent you from living, while recognizing reality sets you free. The major difference is the way the two authors express this theme. The paper shows that Faulkner achieves it by showing the tragedy of what happens when someone refuses to accept reality. Gilman achieves it by showing what happens when someone is able to struggle through their illusions to finally recognize reality.
From the Paper
"In this way, Faulkner effectively shows the reader how tragic a life can be when it is based on illusion. The obvious alternative is to recognize reality, something that tragic Emily was not able to do. "The Yellow Wallpaper" begins with the narrator's uneasiness and sense that something is not right and follows her from happiness, into madness, and finally into an excited sense of freedom as she finally recognizes reality. By seeing her achieve happiness through discovering the reality of her life, the audience sees the benefits of living a life based on reality. Overall, even though both stories take different approaches, they each result in the same theme being expressed."
