Light & Darkness/Heart of Darkness & English Patient
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page essay that discusses the use of light and dark imagery in 2 novels. The writer argues that it is a recurring image in literature that truth and knowledge are represented by light. In fact, it is difficult to refer to these factors without using light-based references, such as "enlightenment." Conversely, darkness is used as an image to represent those features of the human psyche that are considered savage and animalistic. Dark imagery plays a crucial role in Joseph Conrad's 1902 novel Heart of Darkness, which illustrates how this imagery can be used to convey psychological complexity. This point is further substantiated by referring to Michael Ondaatje's The English Patient. No additional sources cited.

Like Water for Chocolate / Movie and Book Comparison
[ send me this essay ]
In 7 pages, the author compares the movie and book versions of Like Water for Chocolate or Como agua para chocolate by Laura Esquivel. It is a story that is too hot to handle: forbidden love, matriarchal dominance, the supernatural, and the special Mexican recipes that become more than enticing dishes. The protagonist is Tita, the youngest daughter in a family of three daughters who, because of a tradition imposed by her mother, is not allowed to marry the man she loves. When comparing the movie version and the novel, one will note that the movie version evokes images of mistreatment, disdain, and provocation, which are not in the book. A free Roman Numeral Sentence Outline is included. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Lillian Smith's "Strange Fruit"
[ send me this essay ]
6 pages in length. Lillian Smith's Strange Fruit addresses the prevalence of racial discord as it existed more than fifty years ago; indeed, Smith could never know the extent to which contemporary society continues to struggle with racial issues she depicts in her book. The assumptions that the town of Maxwell has about black women – their capabilities, sexuality, maternal qualities – are displayed by way of defiant intolerance toward the relationship – and subsequent baby – between Tracy and Nonnie. Nonnie is treated with disdain, which is par for the course in a community that expresses such social and cultural close-mindedness. Bess, on the other hand, is embraced as common folk who know where their ethnic boundaries are. The conversations that take place between Tracy and the preacher are indicative of the sometimes-strained relationship between religion and real life, inasmuch as the preacher must speak for and advise under the power of the clergy rather than express what might be a realistic understanding and acceptance of Tracy's situation. No additional sources cited.
