Ha Jin's "The Bridegroom : Stories": Changes In China
[ send me this paper ]
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 paper ]
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.

Ihara Saikaku's "The Barrelmaker Brimful Of Love" – Protagonist Analysis
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. To herald Saikaku's protagonist as being a hero is to blatantly overlook the misogynistic tendencies of an otherwise conflict-ridden man. That the barrelmaker seeks the love of one particular woman only to then completely destroy their relationship over a suspicion of infidelity speaks to the irrationality of a bitter man whose character is a reflection of absolute unhappiness. The extent to which this overwhelming presence of conflict, which is present in virtually all other characters, serves to shape the entire story is both grand and far-reaching. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

J.G. Ballard's "Empire Of The Sun": Jim's Metamorphosis
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Interpretive literature encompasses myriad existential elements that directly relate to character development; indeed, it is not merely a compilation of dates and events, but rather it is an exploration of humanity's spiritual side sometimes gone awry. Such is the case with J.G. Ballard's Empire of the Sun, inasmuch as this literary masterpiece shares the common denominator of achieving self-awareness and wholeness so prevalent in war stories. The very process of living life and expanding one's existence has often been perceived as a rebirth of sorts, with Ballard taking the concept to an infinitely high level of appreciation with Jim, his primary character. By embracing this inherent – and often esoteric – power, the reader is able to grasp a significantly better understanding of Jim's developing self-awareness and wholeness. No additional sources cited.

Japanese Literature: Representation Among Several Authors
[ send me this paper ]
18 pages in length. Japanese literature exists for the lessons that can be learned via the authors' insight and experience. There are myriad themes presented in Asian literature, not the least of which includes family, patriarchy, gender, sex, death, heritage, tradition, ethnic identity, social conflict, change and celebration. However, the writer only needs to be of Asian persuasion – not
specifically Japanese – in order to effectively address the complexity of these vast and varied themes. The writer discusses Yukio Mishima, Amy Tan, Pa Chin and Pyong Gap Min. Bibliography lists 13 sources.

Jhumpa Lahiri’s “Interpreter of Maladies”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing Jhumpa Lahiri’s “Interpreter of Maladies”. Jhumpa Lahiri (1967- ) wrote “Interpreter of Maladies”, a collection of nine short stories, in 1999 which since has been critically acclaimed in addition to having received the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Although this was Lahiri’s first major publication, the cross-cultural, -gendered and -generational approach to the stories holds a universal appeal for all readers. Born of Indian heritage but residing in New York, Lahiri maintains a subtle approach to her Indian culture and while all of her stories contain Indian characters or themes, Lahiri does not overwhelm readers with traditional Indian “magical realism” but instead provides readers with inside looks at her characters who experience the emotions associated with loss, communication, and loneliness; experience and emotions to which all readers can relate.
Bibliography lists 6 sources.
