“The Hand”
Number of words: 441 | Number of pages: 2.... moved she is calmed again, but only until the morning when she sees it again. I still do not understand why she kisses it. She gives in and accepts the fact that she will see the hand every day and constantly be reminded of the fact that this man is a stranger. I feel bad for the woman, but on the other hand she was foolish to get involved so heavily with a man she barely knew. I wonder why the idea of leaving does not cross the young woman’s mind. Why does she not leave in the night or leave the next day explaining to the man that she has made a mistake. If I were in such a position I would not think twice about backing .....

Number of words: 1053 | Number of pages: 4.... will recover quickly and I believe this to be the initial sign that the feminist perspective will be presented throughout. The narrator shows how although she has a formed opinion (and probably successful idea for her treatment), she is still swayed by her husband's direction with the following passage, "I sometimes fancy that in my condition if I had less opposition and more society and stimulus--but John says the very worst thing I can do is to think about my condition, and I confess it always makes me feel bad."

Killer Angels
Number of words: 668 | Number of pages: 3.... me to it, but Shaara's powerful writing style and stunningly human characters drew me into it. Shaara has an amazing ability to portray the major players of the battle, whose real personalities must have since been lost over a century of historian analyzation, as real people. Shaara portrays the terrible butchery of the four days' fighting through the vividly rendered thoughts and emotions of such great men as General Robert E. Lee, Major General John Buford from the South and from the North, Brigadier General Lewis Armistead, and Colonel Joshua Chamberlain. The main generals for the South were Lee and Longstreet. For the North .....

According to Foucault, violation of the laws governing us is the only solution to get rid of repression from our society. Ernest Hemingway uses the theory of repressive hypothesis to impart grief in the chapter Indian Camp. Hemingway also devises composition which is completely opposite of .....

Edna's Suicide
Number of words: 972 | Number of pages: 4.... put her back (in terms of Webb) at the start of her circle: all the learning and struggling would be for naught. She would once again be a man's possession. Before rejecting the idea that marriage is equivalent to ownership in the world of the novel, remember how Robert speaks to her about their future together.
