Kermode's "The Genesis Of Secrecy" - Critical Summary And Response
[ send me this essay ]
4 pages in length. Interpretation comes in as many forms as the number of people attempting to construe the meaning of a given concept; to pin a singular approach to or expectation of interpretation is to remove the very personal element inherent to drawing analysis. Kermode's approach addresses the aspects of knowledge and interpretation as they directly relate to the concepts of existence and meaning, a duality whereby the author provides readers with a greater understanding of why interpretation is so elusive and how that ambiguity causes misconception, discord and downright erroneous belief. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Khedairi/Sky So Close
[ send me this essay ]
An 8 page essay that discusses the major themes and writing style of Iraqi novelist Betool Khedairi in her novel Sky So Close. In everyday life, most people do not generally consider the impact of the political on their lives. However, for the Iraqi girl who is the protagonist of Betool Khedairi's coming-of-age story A Sky So Close, the political is an omnipresent factor that impacts her life on numerous levels. For example, a prominent theme in the novel is the tension between the young protagonist's Iraqi father and British mother, which mirrors the conflict between her Iraqi homeland and the West. As this primary conflict suggests there is much in this novel that is metaphorical, so that the author is able to convey meaning on multiple levels. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
