Gwendolyn Brooks/Old Black Woman, Homeless & Indistinct
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page exposition of this poem by Gwendolyn Brooks. "To An Old Black Woman, Homeless and Indistinct" is a homage to a life of promise, beauty and talent that has been wasted and discarded by society, like a piece of rubbish. The juxtaposition of the very rich against the very poor suggests the class-based nature of society and the inequities, the heartbreaking injustice of such a system. No additional sources cited.

H.G. Wells’ “The Time Machine” -- A Discourse on Social
Structure
[ send me this essay ]
This 6 page report discusses “The Time Machine” and
the ways in which the world of the future provided a commentary
on Wells own time. When the story is viewed as a social construct
of the world it takes on yet another tonal quality and presents a
realm in which class consciousness exists as a fundamental
cornerstone of social order. As a result, the book can serve as
an allegory facilitating a discussion of socialism and its
principles of equality. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

H.G. Wells/The Time Machine
[ send me this essay ]
A 7 page critique and summary that discusses The Time Machine by H.G. Wells, first published in 1895, is a science fiction classic, the writer argues that this novel is also a remarkable work of social criticism, as it predicts the ultimate effects of the rigid Victorian social class system. A brilliant and multi-layered narrative, in this novel Wells exceeds the boundaries of the nascent genre of science fiction and proves himself to be, as Peter Firchow points out, a "radical innovator," as he is the "first writer of Utopian fiction to argue that the achievement of Utopia will inevitably lead to stagnation and degeneration" (Firchow 123). As this indicates, The Time Machine can be critiqued in regards to two principal viewpoints, as a work of science fiction and also in regards to being a profound social statement on Victorian society. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

H.G. Wells/Time Machine & Dr. Moreau
[ send me this essay ]
A 7 page essay that addresses these works. Nineteenth century futuristic writer H.G. Wells was a man so preoccupied with the fate of humanity and so accurate in his predictions of that future that he has been called the "man who invented tomorrow" (MacKenzie 4). Wells accurately predicted aerial warfare, nuclear weapons, and space travel (MacKenzie 4). Nevertheless, Wells, as is true of anyone, was also a product of his time, late nineteenth century England. Examination of two of his works, The Time Machine and The Island of Dr. Moreau, demonstrates how Wells' writing not only reflects his vision of the future, but also the social, political and economic developments of his era. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Ha Jin's "The Bridegroom : Stories": Changes In China
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. The extent to which the stories in Ha Jin's "The Bridegroom" illustrate how much a century of revolution changed China and the Chinese speaks to the vastly revised perspectives upon such issues as love, sexual pleasure, food, family, fairness, wealth, success, education, friendship and simple survival. Ha Jin clearly shows how Chinese culture has been granted a measure of immunity to much of the upheavals associated with Mao's revolution and Deng's reforms; however, that is not to say that China and her people are completely exempt from facing new challenges of contemporary society today. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Ha Jin/The Bridegroom
[ send me this essay ]
A 3 page essay that discusses the role of sexuality in Ha Jin's short story "The Bridegroom." While there is a negative connotation to sexual activity in "The Bridegroom," Jin makes it clear that this interpretation of sexual behavior is societal and codified by the government into a monolithic structure allowing no deviation. This contrasts sharply with the redemptive power of sexuality as pictured in Japanese author Kenzaburo Oe's A Personal Matter. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
