Comparison of Heinrich Heine and Gunter Grass
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper discussing classic works by these German authors. Both Heine and Grass portray a dark and nearly hopeless Germany in their works. Heine's Deutschland, a Winter's Tale is older than Grass' The Tin Drum by more than 100 years, a century in which Germany rose to command world attention twice. Grass portrays a Germany with much similarity to that of Heine's time. Heine was threatening and ominous in much of his epic-length verse. He was able to see ahead on Germany's then-current path; Grass looked back along that path in the other direction. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Comparison of Language and Style in Passages from Verne’s “Around the World in Eighty Days” (1873) and Theroux’s “The Great Railway Bazaar” (1977)
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing language and style used in passages from Jules Verne’s “Around the World in Eighty Days” (1873) and Paul Theroux’s “The Great Railway Bazaar: By Train Through Asia” (1977). A comparison of travel logs while in the city of Bombay as described in Jules Verne’s “Around the World in Eighty Days” (1873) and Paul Theroux’s “The Great Railway Bazaar: By Train Through Asia” (1977) shows two different accounts in language, style and impressions. Verne’s central character Phileas Fogg is a formal 19th century English gentleman and his account reflects this. The language of the passage and the style show the rigidity of Fogg’s character through the use of effective similes and the fact that he passed through Bombay with indifference. Theroux’s account is vastly different in that he presents a somewhat more informal language and style in first person narrative and at times addresses the reader directly. However, his account of Bombay is so filled with emotions, impressions and comparisons that the reader is also left without an adequate travel description of the city. Each account is enjoyable for readers despite the vast difference in language and style and readers also learn a great deal about the writer’s intention and background. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Comparison of the Dark Themes and Central Characters in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s “Young Goodman Brown” and “The Minister’s Black Veil”
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 4 page paper comparing the dark themes and central characters in Hawthorne’s tales “Young Goodman Brown” and “The Minister’s Black Veil”. Nathaniel Hawthorne’s stories “Young Goodman Brown” (1845, 1846) and “The Minister’s Black Veil” (1836) tell of similar characters, Young Goodman Brown and Reverend Hooper, who cannot focus on their own sins but instead can only obsess about the sins of those around them. This brings both characters a great deal of gloom, moral distrust, conflict and isolation until their deaths. The tales use elements of darkness to project the image of sin as seen in Brown’s confrontation with an old man/the devil with an appearance of a great black snake and Hooper’s persistent wearing of his black veil. Hawthorne, said to be haunted by his own preoccupation of the sins of man, tried to distance himself from his earlier darker works as seen in “The Minister’s Black Veil” but the sins of man keep reappearing years later, as in “Young Goodman Brown” suggesting to others that Hawthorne’s inner conflicts and self-isolation remained and were also reflected in his own wearing of dark attire similar to those of the Puritans and the dark characters found in his writing. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Comparison of the Elegies “The Ruined Cottage” by Wordsworth and “Adonais” by Shelley
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 5 page paper comparing the elegies of Wordsworth’s “The Ruined Cottage” and Shelley’s “Adonais”. The Romantic period in English literature from approximately 1798 to 1832 showed its diversity in a sense by its different formats found in the elegies of William Wordsworth in “The Ruined Cottage” (1797) and of Percy Bysshe Shelley in “Adonais” (1821). Although Wordsworth’s work was published at the beginning of the Romantic Period and Shelley’s at the end, Shelley’s poem in more classic in its design, imagery and is a comparison to the classical elegies of Virgil while Wordsworth’s remains natural in its content and language. Wordsworth’s vivid descriptions of the ruined cottage reflects the deep psychological depression of its central character and the reader mourns for her while Shelley’s “Adonais” is equally vivid in its deep mourning of the narrator as it was written from Shelley’s own outrage and pain from Keats’s death. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
