'The Spirit Catches You And You Fall Down' And 'The Great Mortality' - How People React To Catastrophe
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Reactions to catastrophic events vary to a significant degree depending upon the cultural and social implications. The extent to which the aspects of public and private tragedy serve to further deepen the divide is both grand and far-reaching; that each form of catastrophe brings about responses of anger, perceived betrayal and outright erroneousness speaks to human nature's prerequisite to find answers to questions that do not always exist. This realization is duly illustrated in Fadiman's The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down and Kelly's The Great Mortality whereby each other depicts the aftermath of tragedy that marks a watershed moment in the lives of those who endure the catastrophe.

“A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner: A Comparison of Two Critical Perspectives
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper comparing the critical perspectives of two analyses of Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily”. Renee Curry and Celia Rodriguez both analyzed the components of distance in William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily”. Curry however highlighted the importance of the fact that a gender was not assigned to the narrator and this provided a distance for the reader in regards to the perspective presented in the work and instead limited the narrator’s ability to narrate actions and events within the story. Rodriguez acknowledges the presence of the “unnamed” narrator but analyzed the aspect that the characters within the story represented either elements of the present or the past and because of this division, the readers felt further distanced from the characters who lived in the past; especially Emily. The analysis of these two criticisms probably best highlights how Faulkner successfully managed to distance the reader from the mystery which provided an additional sense of curiosity in the reader, and the townspeople, as to the mystery within Emily’s house, by using multiple elements of his narrative and the subtle use of time and perspective.
