Ethnic Humor and Ethnic Identity
[ send me this essay ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing ethnic humor and ethnic identity. Traditional ethnic identity can be defined by language, culture, religion, and race, but more and more researchers are finding that ethnic humor is becoming a part of the ethnic identity especially in those who have left their homes to live within another culture which is totally different than their own. In many cases ethnic humor has been used to represent the oppression of a group, clear up interpretative misunderstandings of a group and help to define an ethnic group within a larger population.

Eudora Welty's "A Memory"
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. Everyone harbors fond memories of the past and at one time or another and dissolves into those delicious recollections without cause or concern for the present. The extent to which the adult narrator of Welty's A Memory reverts so ardently to a particular childhood memory involving a boy, a crush and the beach – only to be angered by a group of bathers who inadvertently snap her out of her dream-like state – illustrates how people can all too easily be cast away from the present and attempt to live in the past as a way to absolve themselves of personal conflict. No bibliography.

Eudora Welty's "Death Of A Traveling Salesman"
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. Welty makes clear her own feelings in Death of a Traveling Salesman even without overtly stating them by delving more into Bowman's character than the older man's – and his young wife - who ultimately save his life. The life they saved, however, was merely physiological in form; even this jolting experience is not enough to purge Bowman from his wretched loneliness and lack of identity. No bibliography.

Eudora Welty's "No Place For You, My Love"
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. In somewhat of a departure from her conventional approach, Welty dabbles in a medium known to a select few within the literary world, a place that combines fantasy and reality to create an image much grander than life. The magic realism found in No Place For You, My Love is a space and time not many authors have successfully captured, defined as a mingling of characters and events in such a way that perfectly blends realistic and mythical elements to create a strangely familiar world. No bibliography.

Eudora Welty's "Why I Live At The P.O."
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. Eudora Welty's ability to extract the very last shred of emotion from her readers' literary interpretation is part and parcel of the writer's inherent talent. That she explores the vast and complex family relationship in Why I Live at the P.O. and is able to reconstruct the underlying value of an otherwise dysfunctional family speaks to a greater understanding of human conflict than most other authors possess. No bibliography.
