Male Myth of Power in Literature
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) A part of the nature of myth is that it
continues to stay alive and active as long as
there are people to believe it. Men have perceived
themselves to be in power and they have acted
from that belief. The second part of a power myth
is that it is a one up and a one down relationship,
in other words someone is superior to another.
We can see examples of this is two literary works:
in the character of Torvald Helmer in Ibesen's A
Doll's House, and in Edward Rochester in Bronte's
Jane Eyre.

[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper. The focus of this paper is women who become divorced in midlife years and using the concept of the rising phoenix as a spiritual metaphor for their recovery.

The phoenix rises anew from the ashes of destruction, destruction that is of its own making. The writer discuses and describes how the symbolism of the mythical phoenix can be applied to women who suddenly become single in their middle age years. The paper also comments on the effects of such a divorce on young and adult children as well as the negative consequences of midlife divorce on the woman's health.

StinkyCheese and the Gingerbread Man
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) Almost all of us love stories. There is even an old legend that the reason God created humans so that there would be someone to tell him the stories. Generally they are adapted or sanitized depending on the age in which they are told, and sometimes by the storyteller himself. And sometimes the story teller may just wonder what would happened if you just changed a certain part. Such is the case of The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales by Jon Scieszka (1992) and Lane Smith (illustrator). In this discussion we will look both at the "stinky cheese man" and his predecessor through the work of Maria Tatar, in the 1998 version of The Classic Fairy Tales. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
