Patricia Grace's "Potiki": Spiral Of Time
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Grace's quest for enlightenment recognizes a time in which all of mankind must break free from the confines of what had heretofore been accepted as a universal recognition of time; with each individual following in the footsteps of those who went before, without any question as to why things are accomplished in any certain order, the aspect of time for such enlightenment symbolizes the ultimate chance to break free from such lasting constraints. Grace's attempt to define the notion of human connectedness leads her down a path of discovery that postulates the very essence of being, inasmuch as the writer carefully contemplates the various avenues one must travel as a means by which to reach the conscious state of true spiritual recognition. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Patrick Chamoiseau's "Red Hot Peppers": Morality
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. The structural basis of imagery is symbolic of Chamoiseau's intrinsic creativity and ability to see beyond the obvious. Characteristically reminiscent of the very essence of the author's literary interpretation, Red Hot Peppers reflects a significance quite distinguishable in its ability to address morality with mere images. The entire reason that storytelling exists is to present an image through the written word; thus, imagery is a critical element to Chamoiseau's literary verse. Not surprisingly, the author possesses a magnificent grasp upon the use of imagery as a means by which to clearly demonstrate his interpretation of morality and human conflict. No additional sources cited.

Paul Auster's "Hand To Mouth: A Chronicle Of Early Failure": Gender Criticism
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Paul Auster's lack of female attachments in his memoir "Hand To Mouth," or his decision to minimize them, suggests that the stereotypical gender roles reflected in his parents' marriage had a charismatic effect upon him. As such, Auster may not have cultivated a balanced perspective in relation to gender understanding, opting instead to abide by an involuntary yet preprogrammed emotional detachment from the opposite sex. This observation, one might readily surmise, provides for a significantly better understanding as to why "Hand To Mouth" bestows such a strong sense of one-dimensional, unappealing and lifeless characterizations. No additional sources cited.
