A Critique Of "Gone To Soldiers" By Marge Piercy
Number of words: 497 | Number of pages: 2.... both still loved each other, because she was strong enough to resist
him and his womanizing ways. Piercy gave me a much better understanding of
the cultural and social issues of the World War two era. I learned about
the little struggles of working American women, such as the unavailability
of stockings and society's negative attitude towards women wearing pants.
These issues were ones that I had never thought about before. It amazes me

Gullivers Travels 2
Number of words: 953 | Number of pages: 4.... this idea is that when taking a closer look at Gulliver, he isn't worth emulating. The final picture of him talking with the horses in the stable for four hours a day, unable to stand the company of his own family, makes him look foolish Another theory is that Gulliver made a mistake in regarding the Houyhnhnms as models to be emulated: so far from being admirable creatures they are as repulsive as the Yahoos.
