6 pages in length. The plots and ideas of Andrew Niccol's "Gattaca" and Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" share a deep commitment to social progression; through these two works of fiction, the authors attempt to depict a seemingly Utopian society where everything in society is neatly compartmentalized to the point of being sterile. This look toward the future encourages one to postulate just what a Utopian society represents, as well as to consider whether or not such an entity would be at all desirable.

Angela Carter’s “The Tiger’s Bride”
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses Angela Carter’s 1979 short story, “The Tiger’s Bride,” is the type of work that foils the efforts of literary analysts and critics to neatly assign it to one category or another. Instead, it serves as a remarkable chronicle of a beauty-and-the-beast-fairy-tale-morality-play or an enticing example of the potentially mystical framework that exists within any other framework in which magical realism plays as much of a role as any character. Carter turns the classic beauty-and-the-beast story inside out in “The Tiger’s Bride” and, in the process, the reader sees a critical review of the social institution of marriage, as well as a deconstruction of traditional gender roles. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page essay that critically examines Maya Angelou's I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and Chaim Potok's My Name is Asher Lev. Both narrative deal with growing up in a non-dominate culture. Central to Angelou's text is how her upbringing prepared her to resist racial stereotyping and prejudice.
