"Rabbit-Proof Fence" And "Storyteller" - Revealing And Overcoming Cultural Struggles
[ send me this essay ]
7 pages in length. Cultural oppression is a human ill that has run rampant since the first time man realized he could divide himself into separate groups and overrun those deemed different from the rest. The expansive boundaries of literature successfully incorporate the damning nature of cultural oppression as it strives to educate the masses to its complete and utter futility; "Rabbit-Proof Fence" and "Storyteller" are two examples where outer strength and inner fortitude serve to successfully overcome such stringent limitations. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

"Rip Van Winkle" And "Five Easy Pieces": Hostile And Shrewd Women
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Women are portrayed as hostile and shrewd in both the story of Washington Irving's "Rip Van Winkle" and the movie "Five Easy Pieces," an assertion that is tantamount to patriarchal control. Inasmuch as Dame Van Winkle represents a cultural villain, one might be more inclined to side with the hero as he diligently toils to escape such oppressive social chains. As well, Robert -- the protagonist in "Five Easy Pieces" -- attempts to paint the same negative portrait of his pesky companion, Rayette, when all she wants is the respect and understanding that comes from carrying his child. The writer discusses that these female characters are portrayed as hostile and shrewd in their intent to achieve their primary objectives speaks volumes about the manner by which male dominance bleeds through past and present literary structure. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

"Season Of Migration To The North" - Influence Of Western Education
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Tradition and progress have long at opposite ends of the cultural spectrum, an ongoing struggle that divides entire communities into two distinct groups: those who welcome the changing social and political landscape of cultural advancement and those who see it only as an intruder to a life steeped in tradition. The extent to which Tayeb Salih's Season of Migration to the North exemplifies this struggle is both grand and far-reaching; that his Sudanese protagonist gleans the empowering benefit of Western education only to feel the restraint of traditional African culture speaks to the manner by which this duality is fraught with great resistance. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

"Sir Gawain And The Green Knight": Comparing MoralCharacters
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Upon comparing the moral fiber of both primary characters in "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," one can readily surmise that while on the surface there does not appear to be any similarity of attributes, one will undoubtedly find a common denominator to some degree between the two knights. Clearly, Sir Gawain stands out as the
story's protagonist, inasmuch as he is replete with moral fortitude inherent to such an individual. The Green Knight, on the other hand, is the wicked antagonist on the surface, yet he harbors a veiled morality that serves as one of the tale's most interesting character dualities. No additional
sources cited.
