Maya Angelou/Phenomenal Woman
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page essay that offers an explication and analysis of this poem. Throughout the course of human history, men haven been primarily admired for their accomplishments, but the focus of admiration for women has been on whether or not their appearance fit with what a particular society considered beautiful. In her poem "Phenomenal Woman," Maya Angelou challenges this pervasive cultural feature and asserts that she is extraordinary and immensely attractive, without fitting within any of society's preconceived notions of how female beauty and attractiveness should be defined and conceptualized.

McCrumb/She Walks These Hills
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page book review that focuses on McCrumb's use of setting in this novel. While this novel is billed as a mystery/suspense novel, the reviewer argues that it is much more than that. McCrumb, basically, uses the conventions of the mystery genre in order to present a sympathetic portrayal of a region that is often denigrated, Appalachia. It is indicative of McCrumb's superb talent as a writer that can she can bring off this reversal, that is, making the action/suspense secondary to the setting. In so doing, McCrumb offers a novel that displays considerable insight into the nature and character of the people of this region while also providing the entertainment elements inherent in a mystery/suspense plot. No additional sources cited.

McCullers/Character of John Singer
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page essay that focuses on the character of John Singer in Carson McCullers' The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter. Singer has been described as a "deaf mute, living with the man he loves, in a small Southern town where all the other outsiders come to tell him their sorrows" (Schulman 39). This summation concisely conveys the action that centers around Singer, but it fails to convey the immense loneliness and suffering of the man that so many of the townspeople make their icon. The writer examines the ways in which the other characters in the novel come to depend and confide in Singer, as well as Singer's relationship to his friend Antonapoulos. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
