in the Professions

This 5 page report discusses the fact that
women face considerable barriers in the professional realm,
especially those women who have literary aspirations. Drawing
from Woolf’s writing and that of Brigid Brophy, this report
considers whether or not women are still “like animals in a
modern zoo” who are held back by invisible bars. Woolf felt that
her own works provided a change from the typical egotistical work
of males during her time. No additional sources listed.

“Boswell’s London Journal” by James Boswell
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report
discusses “Boswell’s London Journal” and the life lessons and
realizations James Boswell came to in his process of writing it
over the winter and into the spring of 1762 to 1763. His time in
London was certainly not wasted, despite his inability to receive
a commission to the Guards, since he discovered his own passion
and ability for storytelling as well as meeting Samuel Johnson,
the man whose biography he would one day gain great acclaim for
having written. “The London Journal” also chronicles his own
development of an understanding about himself and who he was to
become. No secondary sources.

“Everyman” and the Idea of Allegory
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report
discusses “Everyman,” an English morality play written
anonymously sometime in the late 15th century. Everyman” is a
parable about death and the ultimate destiny of a human being’s
soul. “Everyman” reflects both its place in history and the
mindset by which medieval sensibilities were governed. “Everyman”
is truly a message that was designed to convey the fact that none
of the material goods any human being (or “every man”) acquires
can be taken on the final journey of death. Only the good a
person has accomplished counts toward the ultimate redemption of
the soul and pays the admittance fee to heaven. Bibliography
lists 3 sources.
