Ladies of the Confederacy are often linked to the term “southern belle.” This label traditionally evokes images of beautiful, spoiled young ladies whose primary concerns were that of attending balls and capturing the attention of men. Attended to by numerous slaves, the stereotypical southern belle “had few tasks other than to be obedient, to ride, to sew, and perhaps to learn reading and writing.”1 By definition, a southern belle is a beautiful upper-class lady from the south.2 The southern belle stereotype is exemplified in many literary portrayals of upper-class southern women of the 19th century, such as that of Scarlett O’Hara in “Gone With the Wind.”

“Once upon a time there was a wife and mother one too many times” (Godwin 39). This short story begins with the famous opening, once upon a time, which foreshadows that the story line will be similar to a fairy tale. It raises expectations for the story that all will be magical and end happily. A typical modern-day fairy tale is that of a distressed character who overcomes an obstacle, falls in love with prince charming, and they ride off into the sunset; living happily ever after never to be heard from again. Godwin however, puts an unexpected twist on “A Sorrowful Woman”. This short story is a tale about what can happen when everyday roles take over our identity. Ultimately, this short story challenges societal expectations of marriage

This Poem is about the similarities and differences between the life of a Caucasian person and an African American person. The author, Sharon olds, made this essay to compare and contrast both of them. Sharon olds uses a lot of poetic devices, imagery, and traditional racial stereotypes. Sharon uses a lot of imagery in this poem, she uses most of vividly dark and light as well as animal imagery to contrast her two characters. The whole skin of an animal taken and used shows that the boy represents the inside of an animal, and the speaker represents the outside. Sharon olds utilities a lot of racial stereotypes to show the distance between the characters that exists despite the close ties and connection that they share. In many movies the person

Initially, Collins demonstrates how one can weigh a dog’s weight with his method. Concrete diction in the first stanza, such as, “ small bathroom”, “ balancing”, and “shaky” suggest the uncomfortable nature of his intimate relationship with his pet. Although Collin is unappreciated for the gritty toil determination, he praise himself to applauded that “this is the way” and raising his self-esteem by comparing how easier it is than to train his dog obesity. In addition, the negative diction used to describe Collin holding his dog to be “awkward” for him and “bewildering” for his pet. This establish he rather force love rather willing show patience. When holding a pet on scale, there is less hustle because he secures the dog’s position by carrying it. Where as when he orders the dog to stay on the weighing scale with a cookie, his dog only followed him because of the expected reward.

In the poem Mrs.Meyers by Edgar Lee Masters, what I know about the speaker is that she is Doctor Meyers wife and she is defending him. The day Minerva came asking him for help he did some medical procedures that were against the law. Doctor Meyer's wife is accepting the fact that what he did was against the law, but he was just trying to help Minerva. What I can infer about Society's values is that what he did was against the law, also it will change the way people see you because they only see the bad side of the story but they didn't see that Doctor Meyers was trying to

Masters we learn and know about Doctor Meyers as Minerva mentions him because he tried to save her life but she died in his care. He also references Minerva and mentions Doc Hill, who also helps the locals, but when he mentions Minerva he only states that she dies in his care. Meyers says he helped Minerva, but she ended up dying either way and this would ruin his reputation as a good doctor. The death of Minerva turned the doctor into a disgrace even though he was a kind-hearted man who deserved better. The social change of the town towards Doctor Meyers was sad as he tried to help everyone, but one death in his care had the whole town, turn on him without a second thought and he died a depressed

The narrator says, “John laughs at me of course, but one expects that in marriage” (pg. 1). The husband deals with her insanity in multiple ways. The main thing is he laughs her off and she believes that he is only doing this out of love. She then states, “John is practical in the extreme. He has no patience with faith, an intense horror of superstition, and he scoffs openly at any talk of things no to be felt and seen and put down in figures. John is a physician, and PERHAPS- PERHAPS that is one reason I do not get well faster” (Pg. 1). John has no patience for her to get better. He is scared of the superstitious things that may happen to ill people when they are not in the right state of mind. He laughs off any kind of feeling that the narrator likes to explain and talk about and she believes that is why she is not getting better. The narrator says, “You see he does not believe I am sick” (pg. 1). She will not become herself again without the support of her husband, also for her to find herself again, and not be ill anymore. The narrator explains, “I have a schedule prescription for each hour in the day; he takes all care from me, and so I feel basely ungrateful not to value it more” (pg. 2). The fact that the narrator has a scheduled medication pattern for each hour makes the reader believe that she is taking

Frost further points out that the stretch of woods being viewed is very rural. This is made possible by the reference to the location between the woods and frozen lake. In closing the final sentence of the second stanza Frost reiterates the fact that this occurs on “the darkest evening of the year” stating the darkness of the mood.

An initial reading of A Jury of Her Peers suggests that the author focuses on the common stereotypes of women in the 1800s; however, a close reading reveals that the text also examines the idea that they are more capable than men may think. The fact that Mrs. Wright was able to pull off killing her husband by herself and without the men finding out proves that she is very capable and did not need the help of men to pull it off. The men at the time believed that women were incapable of doing things by themselves and thought that they should just stay in the kitchen, cook, and clean. They thought that they could not manage to do things that men could and did not trust them with a man's job.

The Poem “Introduction to Poetry” is by Billy Collins, an English poet, and it is about how teachers often force students to over-analyze poetry and to try decipher every possible meaning portrayed throughout the poem rather than allowing the students to form their own interpretation of the poem based on their own experiences.

The automatic temperature control system is a very essential feature of a factory or an industry. In most of the case the temperature plays a vital role in the process of manufacturing or the process carried in that factory or industry.

The title of the poem “My mistress eyes are nothing like the sun” suggests that the speaker is not in love with his ‘mistress’. However, this is not the case. Shakespeare uses figurative language by using criticizing hyperboles to mock the traditional love sonnet. Thus, showing not only that the ideal woman is not always a ‘goddess’, but mocking the way others write about love. Shakespeare proves that love can be written about and accomplished without the artificial and exuberant. The speaker’s tone is ironic, sarcastic, and comical turning the traditional conceit around using satire. The traditional iambic pentameter rhyming scheme of the sonnet makes the diction fall into place as relaxed, truthful, and with elegance in the easy flowing verse. In turn, making this sonnet one of parody and real love.
