Daisy and Nora
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay that discusses two of the most famous female characters in literature, Daisy Buchanan from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and Nora Helmer from Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House. While dissimilar in their fundamental character and motivation, both of these women are victims of the heritage of patriarchy, which has historically been the defining factor in gender relations in Western society. In general, readers and critics tend to idealize Nora and despise Daisy; however, a close reading of both works suggests that these women share innumerable similarities, and these similarities underscore the fact that they are both victims. Bibliography lists 3 sources, but a supporting source citation is incomplete.

David Malouf And Critical Thinking: Not Irrelevant In Australia
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Critical thinking represents an analytical approach to understanding a particular concept; as such, asking questions is a primary component of critical thinking. When one examines the literary masterpiece of David Malouf, there is no question that he not only employs the masterful technique of critical thinking as a primary element of his writing, but he also utilizes it as a way of expanding his readers' understanding of Australia itself. Remembering Babylon provides Malouf's reading audience with a significantly better understanding of his homeland by way of incorporating critical thinking, a technique that requires one to delve beyond the superficial layer of existence in order to gain entry to the deeper presence of what Malouf attempts to portray.

Evaluation of Gordon’s “Death in the Venetian Quarter: A Medieval Mystery” in Regards to its Historical Context and Connection to the Crusades
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page analysis of Gordon’s “Death in the Venetian Quarter: A Medieval Mystery” and additional comments on its historical context. Alan Gordon’s “Death in the Venetian Quarter: A Medieval Mystery” (2002) successfully combines elements of fact and fiction when unraveling a mystery during the end of the Fourth Crusade in 1203 in Constantinople. The historical accuracies of the novel are general in a broad sense with some variations as to the relationship of the Emperor and his family but overall the historical context only adds to the excitement of the work. A unique aspect of the work is his use of Feste the Fool as the central character. In Gordon’s version of history, court fools are part of an elite intellectual society which because of their positions are able to overhear conversations, due to the fact that most of the population disregard them, and makes them privy to information which prove helpful in their investigations. Once the reader accepts this premise, which has already been introduced by Gordon in two previous novels, the book becomes enjoyable in regards to the historical descriptions of the city and in Feste’s solving of the murder of Bastiani the silk merchant. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
