"Les Miserables" And "The Color Purple": Injustice
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The injustice experienced by Celie in Alice Walker's The Color Purple and Jean Valjean in Victor Hugo's Les Miserables may appear divergent on the surface, however, there exists an underlying theme that transcends any obvious differences.

"Passing" By Nella Larsen
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Nella Larsen's Passing possesses many important components with regard to marriage that, if not taken in their direct context, will be overlooked by the average reader. It is essential to also look beyond the author's obvious intention with regard to the story's overall meaning so as not to miss the grand but elusive subtleties she includes about marital relationships. To be sure, Larsen's writing incorporates a significant amount of blatancy while also implying considerable obscurity, a dichotomy that has served to be the cornerstone of the author's works, which have successfully stood the test of time. Without question, this tale of social woe provides a unique insight into the relationships among men, women, society and the overall expectations made of each one with regard to the confines of marriage. No additional sources cited.

"What To The Slave Is The Fourth Of July?" And "Ar'n't I A Woman?": Compare/Contrast
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. As two of the most outspoken and unforgettable figures in black history, Sojourner Truth and Frederick Douglass both sought to bring about cultural, social and gender change to an otherwise intolerant white society. Their literary efforts, forever bound and protected by time, have chronicled the struggles inherent to black Americans since the beginning of the slave trade; that their personal experiences mirror the horrors taught from schoolbooks all across the country make their respective appeals for racial equity that much more poignant. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
