Essays on Catherine

Washington Street, penned by Henry James, is a work of realist fiction, which takes on the cliché plot line of a traditional romance. In essence, a plain, naive, and inherently good young woman is pursued by an older man with ulterior motives. From within this traditional plot structure, James explores the nature of relationships, with a particular interest in marriage. Overall, he presents marriage as a troupe established for social purposes and essentially forming a simplistic social contract, with romance removed, or ruined by the interplay of social demands and questionable motives. This can be directly contrasted with the ...

Victorian Era Love in

In Wuthering Heights love comes in many forms. There are various examples of it throughout the novel. Most people think first and perhaps only, of Heathcliff and Catherine. There love was obsessive and destructive. It burned them both with a fire so big it could not be put out even by death. Heathcliff loved and hated Catherine, cursed her soul that she would have no peace, and then begged her to haunt him so he could have none either (Bronte 201). But there is much love to be found in Bronte’s 1847 novel. Consider for example Lockwood. Lockwood ...

A Generation of Slackers? Not So Much?

Catherine Rampell’s essay, “A Generation of Slackers? Not So Much?” dissects the reasons why older generations, such as Generation X and the Baby Boomers are convinced Generation Y, otherwise known as Millennials, are lazy. She give examples of said laziness based on differences in work ethic, education, and technology’s influence on each generation going so far as to admit some Millennials believe generations before them have stronger work either. However, her objective throughout the piece is to prove that Millennials, despite their views of older generations or themselves, are hardworking and attempt to be productive. Rampell begins ...

Then, the other reason is that this film helped me know more about the social behaviors and psychology of people. Being a neurobiology student at UC Irvine, I believe that this film helps me to ...

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Home and Studio remain the finest specimen of the architect’s innovative approach to the design of buildings in general and spaces for living in particular. The house is located in Oak Park, Illinois in a historic neighborhood which was later adorned by a number of other Wright’s houses representative of his unique style. While construction began in 1889 as soon as the architect married Catherine Tobin, the building was reconstructed and expanded for the next twenty years to arrive at the form one can see nowadays, restored by the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust. ...

Introduction

Judith Butler wrote the article “The Values of Difficulty” as a response to the article “Language Crimes: A Lesson in How Not to Write, Courtesy of the Professoriate” written by Denis Dutton. Butler defends her position in her essay and states that academic writers need to use complex terminology in order to express themselves and to shape the meaning in the right way. She believes that there is a connection between the language and the meaning and that a term could be misunderstood if simple language would be used. I agree with Judith Butler because she proves her point ...

Negotiations are always a critical aspect related to the operations and management of an organization which is essentially of a non-profit character. Being the Chairperson of the Board at Midwestern Contemporary Art (MCA) it is important to have a balanced approach to the resolution of a conflict with the MCA and Peter and Catherine Smith. While it is indeed out of character to coerce the Smiths into payment of the pledge especially after being able to meet them and understanding their present predicament, it is also crucial to ensure that the best interests of the MCA are upheld especially ...

Before I watched the adaptation of the eponymous novel by Jane Austen, I had the opportunity to know directly the product. I love syllable of Austin, her brushwork, irony and subtle English humor, behind which lies the limitless depth: the philosophical view of things, the principles of steel and tender feelings, capable of sacrifice. Her works are distinguished by a certain purity and innocence. It is touching for me, the representative of pampering generation and frankness in the relationship between men and women, invisible thread between Emma and her chosen one held in the exciting voltage. Jane Austen is ...

In fact, according to food safety regulation, wearing gloves has been termed as a mandatory requirement in both food preparation and food handling services (Farquhar & Tassin, 2016). Gloves for use by food ...

Introduction

Northanger Abbey does not seem to have as many dangerous relationships as Wuthering Heights. These could be because Austin does not seem to write her characters in same dark tone that Bronte does. Austin’s characters seem to better realize their own fallibilities. In Northanger Abbey the romantic relationships are between Catherine and Henry, Catherine and John, Isabella and James and Isabella and Frederick. While some of these relationships may be slightly troublesome none are near as toxic as the relationships in Wuthering Heights, especially the one between Catherine and Heathcliff. In Northanger Abbey, Catherine Morland meets and takes ...

This topic has not yet been fully described and is of interest as it shows some controversial noted in terms of the understanding of racism as we know it now, and how people understood it in ...

Canon Doyle’s version of characterization is entwined with social issues, especially with regards to relationships. The time and the context of Doyle’s stories gives a critical, yet contrasting relationship developed between male and female partners. Thus, the concept of sexually comes in, and Doyle is keen to express this concept through his stories involving Sherlock Holmes and his acquaintances. However, this concept would hold a different social paradigm in the modern society, as Sherlock’s nature would be interpreted otherwise. Asexuality is defined in Sherlock’s stories as lack of taste, mood, or interest in women and ...

While every theoretical framework has merit, this author believes that many of the dominant theories-- realism (specifically neorealism, in contrast to “classical realism”), liberalism and neofunctionalism--are inadequate in their ability to properly describe the changes that have taken place in recent Turkish international relations. For the purposes of this study, the author has concluded that the most meritorious theories which can be applied towards Turkey are three main bodies of the “New Institutionalisms”: Rational-Choice Institutionalism, Sociological Institutionalism and Historical Institutionalism. These theoretical frameworks have been chosen because of their flexibility. A major drawback of most theoretical models is ...
