Essays can be used to discover rather than to prove or persuade. While this may not be the standard academic paper, it can be useful when conducting research. Not every paper may thought with a developed thesis but come to a realization of a thesis after conducting necessary research. Jay Holmquist’s essay “An Experience with Acronyms” approaches his topic with a narrative interest that leads to a question to start his exploration. This implemented his process of discovery going from his story to
As the goal of this essay is to effective communicate and explore the presence of the Bible in popular culture, it seems proper to focus solely on the Christians themes presented throughout the books. The reason as to why these particular book are the main topic of this essay is that The Chronicle of Narnia, a series that impacted the lives of countless children, is an important literature in popular
for Emily by William Faulkner Among the majority of literacy critics A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner is often praised for its expanding of a detective genre. However, from a re-reading of the ‘sudden twist leading to the murder mystery’ narrative, a question rises about the consistency of short story’s reading as a detective: why is it so? Why do it is interpreted as some kind of mystery at all? To re-read it as a simple descriptive story would mean to shackle the ground of every single major
Engage with the queer reading of Rear Window developed by Robert Samuels in his essay ‘Rear Window Ethics: Laura Mulvey and the Inverted Gaze’, and explain in what ways it differs from both Mulvey’s and Modleski’s feminist readings of Hitchcock’s film.

Gloria Steinems 1994 satirical essay “ Womb Envy, Testyria and Breast castration anxiety” takes a feminist approach in disputing one of the most notorious and well know personality psychologists : Sigmund Freud. Freud’s work, including the psychosexual stages of development, the oedipus complex and penis envy make up three of the most contested areas of study for feminist
this week with different subjects, it was a bit of a hard and fast transition from narrative, to process, to comparison and contrast essay. I feel the level of the subject matter is increasing, which is also making it harder to keep up, but this is what I’ve got so far: The structure that I have used before is subject by subject in the comparison/contrast essay, I think that’s the easiest option to write this essay.

9/12/14 I’m An Only Daughter Too. In the essay “Only Daughter” the author Sandra Cisneros explains what it was like growing up, as the only daughter of six sons. Not just, the only daughter, but also the only daughter of a Mexican father and Mexican- American mother. For me growing up as the only daughter with two-step brothers, this was hard for me to understand what was so miserable about that. One of the things that I liked that Sandra put in her narrative was the “Background on gender preference”
While reading this essay, there were multiple times in which my mouth literally dropped open with disbelief. The censoring actions of the principle at Francis Lewis High School shocked me and made me want to fly to New York City just to yell at her myself. In a country in which Freedom of Speech is enforced and censorship is supposedly illegal, I could not believe that a situation such as this happened so recently. In short, the author succeeded in writing a powerful essay exemplifying the prominence
Introduction My biggest concern with documentary photography is that there exists the notion that documentary photography should be truthful.
