Family Values in Crane and Faulkner
[ send me this essay ]
A five page paper looking at Stephen Crane's novel Maggie: A Girl of the Streets and William Faulkner's short story "Barn Burning" in terms of the effect family values have on the youthful protagonists. The paper demonstrates that in both cases, the main characters were raised with extremely negative family values, but while Faulkner's character -- a boy -- was able to reverse that tendency, Crane's character -- a girl -- was unable to do so because she relied too heavily on others for her salvation.

Fantasy through Books or Television
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages. This essay argues that fantasy is more believable and enjoyable when read in books rather than watched on television. While television gives the viewer not only words but pictures as well, it is still arguably the lesser of the two mediums. Through books the reader is able to use his or her own imagination that is a much better way to keep the thoughts locked in the brain. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Far Tortuga.
[ send me this essay ]
(5 pp) Although this initially appears as an adventure story, anyone who knows Peter Matthiessen's work will be ready for much more, and view the sparse writing and revelation through dialog, as rhythmic as the sea itself. Far Tortuga (1975), like his other works, is distinguished by a love of nature, and an urgent concern that the elemental harmony between man and nature is in great jeopardy, as well as the belief in the cyclic process of the universe.
