Abstract
This paper explains that, although Dorothy Parker may have considered herself to be a feminist, she has been charged of conforming too readily and wholeheartedly to the patriarchal system. Next, the author analyzes Parker's short story "Here We Are", about the uncomfortable and harsh moments between a newly married couple on the train on their way to their honeymoon, to see how she treats the woman. The paper concludes that Parker's opinion on women is not easy to resolve because, given her personality, it is entirely possible that she detested most women and men equally.

From the Paper
"This brings out the hat as an overt symbol of sexuality. Not only is it an article of clothing, it is also a display of beauty, and one over which the woman obsesses. She is very concerned with the man's opinion of the hat, though it is quite obvious that he doesn't really care all that much. The woman believes that her sexual attractiveness and femininity are tied up in her external and removable trappings, whereas the man's only real interest that can be ascertained from this brief glimpse into their lives is...well, you know. The hat is a symbol for the crossed communication wires, as it is the recurring physical issue that arises between them."

Abstract
This paper examines the literary production and biography of the American writer Dorothy Parker. It includes excerpts from many of her best-known works, a stylistic analysis, as well as an examination of her conventions and importance to the body of 20th Century American literature.

From the Paper
"Parker achieved initial popularity shortly after World War I with her light verse and short stories. Although her writing certainly does not seem acrimonious or unladylike to contemporary readers, it was most decidedly received as such by many critics during her heyday. Her cynical narratives and poesy advanced a kind of a general nationwide agitation, a focal point for social conventions that were coming under scrutiny and ridicule by the "lost generation" of which Parker was a part. The primary reason for this cacophonous reception was the fact that Parker unapologetically sought to expand a woman's equal rights to include sexual relationships; she held that if infidelity was included among these sexual "rights" for men, then women should be free to exercise the same prerogative."

Abstract
This paper examines how there are many similarities between the two novels: Philip Roth's "Portnoy's Complaint" and Dorothy Parker's "Mr Durant". It looks at how not only are they are about self-obsessed men who treat women badly and who seem to choose women who are inferior to themselves, but also how they are very preoccupied with how others think of them. It analyzes how both offer an indictment of the American male's values and debates whether they can be considered typical stereotypes of the American male.

From the Paper
"He is not only preoccupied with his image, but also with younger girls. There is of course Rose, who could be his daughter. The shabby girl he sees at the beginning of the story at the bus stop and the two girls he sees when he walks from the bus to his home. With all he notices how they look, how their legs are shaped. And there is Ruby, even though he is initially afraid that she tells the vice-president when it becomes clear that she probably will not tell on him he remarks: "There was a sense of intimacy, of a shared secret binding them cosily together. A fine girl, that Ruby!" . Even if there is still the danger of her telling on him, that he might have misinterpreted her "little upward glance, mischievous, understanding, with just that least hint of admiration in it." , he sees his next prey."

"Moreover, she had the pleasure and opportunity to meet every president since Dwight David Eisenhower. And as if that was not enough, she actually was one of the persons who always spoke their minds in front of those presidents, always saying what she thinks, but placing a great importance of the way her thoughts were reflected into words."

Abstract
This case study analysis examines causes for a slippage in the business fit between Electro Industries (EI), a Canadian manufacturer of precision instruments and its British distributor Parker Instruments (PI). Both an internal strengths and weaknesses analysis and an external opportunities and threats analysis is performed. As a result of these analyses (presented in Appendices A and B respectively), the case study puts forward three potential solutions.

Abstract
This paper reviews the film "Othello", describing various key scenes including an analysis of the cinematography of those scenes, showing how the character's thoughts and feelings are conveyed to the viewer on screen. The paper also analyzes the plot and the director's focus in the story and concludes that Parker shows, through the character of Emilia, that mankind's worst enemy is his own desires and wants.

From the Paper
"Parker begins the sequence by showing a scene in which the viewer sees the love and tenderness Othello and Desdemona have for each other. This is when Othello is just recovering from an epileptic seizure caused by Iago's implication that Desdemona is cheating on Othello with Cassio. Desdemona walks into their bedroom with Emilia in tow and sees the post-epileptic state her husband is in. She begins to worry over Othello and they exchange a moment of love. The camera shot of this moment includes a view of Emilia. The viewer can see that Emilia has seen this tender moment and, judging from the expression on her face, she wants to have the love that Othello and Desdemona share."

Abstract
This paper successfully gives a detailed practical criticism on four well-known poems. A summary of each poem is given, followed by various literary devices including: alliteration, symbolism, tones, rhyme, allusion. The writer compares and contrasts the two Shakespeare Sonnets.

From the Paper
"This sonnet at first seems very different from the previous sonnet. At first, it seems as if Shakespeare is talking about someone he definitely does not love, with all the negative comparisons. Again, the theme of this poem is love, but it looks at it from a different angle. We do know by the end, that the writer is in love with his "mistress," but it is not quite the flowery language of the previous poem, it is tongue-in-cheek. "And in some perfumes is there more delight, Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks."

Abstract
This paper is an examination of how the rose is used as a symbol in the poems "One Perfect Rose" by Dorothy Parker and "A Red, Red Rose" by Robert Burns. Burns' poem is shown to use the traditional method of comparing a rose to the love in his heart, whereas with Parker's poem the speaker reveals her feelings about receiving one rose from her beau. The era in which both poems were written is discussed.

From the Paper
"In the first two lines of the poem the speaker declares, "O my luve's like a red, red rose/ That's newly sprung in June". This immediately conjures up images of two people courting. Since June is the traditional month when many weddings take place, the reader is made to feel that the speaker is serious about his proclamation of love for his "bonnie lass." The simile that the speaker uses to liken his love to a "newly sprung" red rose, paints a picture of perfection. The rose has not been plucked from the garden in which it resides. It is in its purest state, at the beginning of summer, before wind and cold cause it to wither and die. The condition of the rose compares to a new romance in its first stages (and possibly unconsummated), that has not been tainted by unforeseen circumstances or the participants' own imperfections. Their love is still perfect and in full bloom, like the rose."

From the Paper
"In her witty and satirical poem "A Certain Lady", Dorothy Parker writes; "Oh, I can laugh and listen when we meet. And you bring tales of fresh adventuring. Of ladies delicately indiscreet. Of lingering hands and gently whispered things. And you are pleased with me and strive anew. To sing me sagas of your late delights. Thus do you want me -- marveling gay and true." Parker's take on romance is..."
