The Lady In Red Analysis

The Lady in Red
Noga Sklar

After the first (and foremost?) presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, the most rejected presidential candidates in recent American history, I asked my brilliant (and authoritative) husband Alan: “Nu, after all these documentaries and debates, are you still in favor of Donald Trump as President of the United States?”
At first he was quiet. Then he did his best to escape a full answer.
“Hmm… well… I never said I was in his favor; I only said he was going to win. He is going to win.”
As has turned out to be the rule these days, this is not the real truth. The real truth — that of course could and must be deformed by my increasingly defective memory, or so my enemies prefer to believe — is that …show more content…

And this person would be Donald Trump. Not to mention the fact that I surely expect him to surround himself with capable, experienced, down-to-earth yet well-informed officials who will advocate for common-sense progress and concrete, realistic goals.
I was planning to finish my rambling today with a brilliant affirmation I heard the other day on TV, comparing some outstanding American historic figures such as, let’s say, Harry Truman, who rebuild a demised Europe after WWII, or even Reagan, who helped destroy the “good communist” myth, to a Barack Obama whose most palpable legacy is the creation of “transgender bathrooms.” But, unfortunately, I failed to write it down at the time and could not find it later — as you all know, an unforgivable sin for any attentive chronicler that deserves this name. And for that I hope you’ll accept my sincere

False Truth In O Brien's The Things They Carried

919 Words | 4 Pages

Human beings often claim to be searching for the truth. The truth often entails finding the right answer, choice, or formula. The search for truth develops a tendency to settle for the easiest choice—a false truth; more often than not, a false truth goes unquestioned in order to remain benighted. Concerning the false truth in The Things They Carried, information—specifically memories, must be sorted into two categories: those stories that are true and those which are simply glorified recreational war stories. It would be a near impossible task due to the extent that the tales mix.

Dim Lady Analysis

Dim Lady Charles Caleb Colton once said “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”, and in Harryette Mullen’s homage to Shakespeare's sonnet 130, Mullens breathes new life into an antiquated poem by rescripting this classic work . Harryette Mullen, an american poet, writer and scholar, published the poem Dim Lady as a modern tribute to Shakespeare's sonnet and creates a contemporary translation of one of his most classic poems.

Alice Dreger's Analysis

125 Words | 1 Pages

It was not surprising to hear about the attacks on social scientists. There will always be people who disagree with evidence that can be threatening to them. Especially if it will cost them money. I think events like the one that the author Alice Dreger went through will always occur because of money or power. Not everyone has money, but anyone can have power over someone.

Analysis Of Jenny Holzer's Analysis

362 Words | 2 Pages

In the untitled piece from the Inflammatory Essays that begins “SHRIEK WHEN THE PAIN HITS…,”Jenny Holzer shows how Control can be physical but also emotional. The narrator of this piece is advising someone who is being held for interrogation and tortured. Using words such as “hits,” “cuts,” and “flesh,” he describes the interrogator as a tormentor who inflicts pain and cuts the interrogee’s flesh. Hitting and cutting are actions that are visible and are performed using tangible objects, and flesh is the physical component of human beings. Therefore, the words Holzer uses when describing the torment that the interrogee is suffering imply that the interrogator has physical control over the interrogee.

Lady Bracknell Analysis

Antonia Susan Drabble Byatt Analysis

924 Words | 4 Pages

Antonia Susan Drabble Byatt 's curiosity to know and to read was associated with her from her childhood: "From being very little, reading and living were all to me only finished off if you could write them down." (qtd. in Musil 100). The sense that writing ended real, or even extra real, one’s knowledgeable growth and leaning and one’s capabilities surely pervades Byatt’s mature work, in both her fiction and nonfiction. In several ways, Byatt is a writer whose writing has been self-reflexive and deliberately formed. Byatt believes that the 'lines ' that the writer selects limit her/him.
