The Representation of Women in 'My Antonia' and 'McTeague'
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper looking at the way women are portrayed in these two novels, by Willa Cather and Frank Norris respectively.

Toni Morisson's 'Beloved' and Sherley Ann Williams' 'Dessa Rose' / Motherhood & Maternalism
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper comparing and contrasting the protagonists' ability to assume the responsibilities of motherhood. The paper argues that Because the slave does not have any autonomy of her own, she cannot function in a typical maternal relationship to a dependent child; therefore, she needs to either break out of her cycle of submission, or have someone else to do her mothering for her. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Walker's 'The Color Purple' v. Otto's 'How to Make an American Quilt'
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page paper that describes how the authors of these two works utilize structures unique to story development to present their ideas on feminism, relationships, sexuality and domesticity. While both authors utilize different structural formats (Walker presents her's as an epistolary novel, while Otto's is set within the context of a quilting instructional manual), each uncommon structure significantly effects the author's presentation of ideas. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Zora Neale Hurston's 'Their Eyes Were Watching God,' Nella Larsen's 'Passing' And Ann Petry's 'The Street': Marriage
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Zora Neale Hurston's 'Their Eyes Were Watching God,' Nella Larsen's 'Passing' and Ann Petry's 'The Street' all address the issue of marriage in very different ways. While all three stories speak about the bonds of matrimony in one way or another, it is not actually the marriage, in and of itself, upon which the tales focus. Rather, each author carefully yet quite effectively touches upon marriage, its meaning within the social backdrop, as well as the requirements necessary to maintain its existence; however, these stories delve much deeper into the aspect of marriage than what merely resides on the surface. It is through intense character examination that the reader is able to see beyond the marital fa�ade to a more realistic place where the authors' protagonists inevitably dwell. The writer discusses the importance marriage plays in each one. No additional sources cited.

Aprha Behn's 'The Rover'
[ send me this paper ]

Historical Background in Behn�s �Oroonoko�
[ send me this paper ]
A five page paper looking at Aphra Behn�s seventeenth-century novel in terms of the degree to which it portrays the issue of slavery realistically. Through quoting historical material on the slave trade in that era, the paper argues that not only is Behn�s work accurate, but it presents the romance of two black lovers much more sympathetically than was common at that time. Bibliography lists four sources.
