Abstract
W. H. Auden?s poem, ?As I Walked Out One Evening?, is a splendid example of Auden?s use of imagery. In this poem, Auden forces us to look at the concept of time from the perspective that it is like an enemy. To put this image in place, he contrasts it with a pair of lovers who cannot grasp the true meaning of time because their perspectives are muddled with their concept of love. This paper examines Auden?s poem and how he utilizes the technique of imagery to successfully prove his point.
From the Paper
"According to Robert Bloom Auden?s poetry often carries with it a ?sense of the immense peril in which the whole human enterprise stands as the hour comes round for a decaying civilization either to renew itself or die? (Bloom). This perspective is clearly laid out in ?As I Walked Out One Evening,? as the speaker takes notice of two lovers on Bristol Street. As we will discover, time and its justice can be seen as the poem unfolds."

Abstract
This essay examines Auden's poem, focusing on the ballad like quality of the lines and the images that resemble a fairytale. Part ballad, part nursery rhyme, part lullaby, the shape of the poem soothes and entices the reader, while the content draws one into a world of devastation, death, and betrayal. Auden's fluid mix of styles are mentioned as well as poetry's ability to give pleasure and comfort.
From the Paper
"The poem takes the shape of a ballad. The normal ballad stanza has 4 beats in the first line, 3 in the second, 4 in the third, and 3 in the fourth, and lines 2 and 4 rhyme. Auden uses a variant in which lines one and three have only 3 beats, instead of 4. But like all ballads, this poem sounds like a song (and, in fact, it has been set to music by composer Elizabeth Lutyens"

Abstract
This paper is an analysis of William Faulkner's "That Evening Sun". It discusses the unwillingness of southern Americans (represented by the Compsons) to help anyone that is different than they are. It also discusses the era of racism in Southern history. It also discusses the similarity between Faulkner's two books: "Faulkner in the University" and "That Evening Sun".
From the Paper
"William Faulkner?s ?That Evening Sun? is a short story published in 1931 in a short story collection by Faulkner called That 13. The story itself is partially about the about many things including: white indifference to black peoples during the ?Jim Crowe? era of the south, the terror that one black woman faces alone yet among people, a coming of age for the narrator realizing that the world in which he lives is neglectful, and a multitude of other topics. The plight of almost all the characters in the story revolves around a kind of acceptable bias that black fears are not as worthy of notice or as acceptable as white ones. This short fiction is really a story about the south and its customs and biases in the old school of racism. Though the end is never clearly written in the story, Faulkner is suggesting at the end that there could have been a better end for Nancy if only people had cared enough about a black washerwoman to take her concerns seriously and without regard to skin color or status."

Abstract
This paper discusses how William Faulkner's "That Evening Sun", is filled with the references to his fictional characters Yoknapatawpha and Jefferson who find themselves appearing in a variety of stories and novels. It examines how the purpose of this particular story's is not to expand upon these characters so much as it is to express a singular purpose - to illustrate, through the example of Nancy and Jubah, the stark destructive reality of what it means to be an oppressed person and the absolute, crippling fear that an inability to control one's life and fate has upon not only the victim, but upon the victimizers as well.
From the Paper
"What Faulkner clearly tells us in this story is that while there is some feeling of continued responsibility on the part of Jason Compson Sr's part for Nancy, that sense is maintained because of their close personal relationship. Nancy has taken care of the Compsons in various ways, and therefore the Compson's owe Nancy at least the minimum of respect and care. Jason Compson Sr. treats Nancy as a person in their relationship, in their discussions. But, he does not take responsibility for her, nor does he find fault in the manner in which she lives. This character, then, demonstrates a very Southern way of viewing race - that blacks live the way they live because that is in the nature of things. While this story touches on these issues - it absolutely acknowledges the fact that there is no immediate remedy, that equality, better housing, health care, opportunities for success are all secondary and even tertiary concerns. For Nancy, Dilsey, and Jubah, survival is paramount. "

Abstract
This paper reviews the well known poem by Robert Frost titled 'Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening'. The paper reports that Frost uses a specific situation to make a general comment on the course of life and the obligations faced by the speaker. The paper also discusses the use of iambic tetrameter, creating a lazy feeling that contributes to the idea that the speaker is tired and wants to go to sleep, and it imitates the regularity of the horse's hooves when the carriage is moving.
From the Paper
"The horse is here treated as another sentient being, while Nature on a quiet evening is snow and woods. The snow creates a white background that the listener can picture and that thus has a purity that is disturbed by those moving through it. This image might also be seen as another representation of life, as a clean slate that the individual makes of what he can."

Abstract
The paper analyzes the short story "This Morning, This Evening, So Soon" , by James Baldwin. The paper examines how the title suggests that the passage of time will be an important element in the story. The role of time is important because it suggests the importance of the past and a questioning of the future. The paper discusses how the story takes place over the course of less than one day, but it uses flashback and foreshadowing to encompass much more time. The paper focuses on one of the prevailing elements of the story, that of fear. The narrator discusses the fears he had encountered growing up black in America, and the fears he harbors for the future of his son Paul when they return to a divided America.
From the Paper
"The long night of drinking and revelry that "passes time" before the narrator's journey home combines the elements of time and fear. The famous face of the narrator attracts onlookers at bars, and one group of American college students in particular become his companions for the night. The students explain that they had been traveling throughout Europe and had finally made it to Paris. "We meant to come sooner, but we could never make up our minds to leave a place" (242). For them, time is a mixed blessing, too. These students represent the future because of their youth and promise, but they also represent the past that the narrator had left behind in America."

Abstract
This paper reviews the poem 'Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening ' by Robert Frost. According to this paper, this Rebecca Lukens defines this poem as perfect for children's education as it reflects the common everyday experiences of most children and highlights the beauty of such an experience.
From the Paper
"Rebecca Lukens, in defining how children's poetry is distinct from poetry intended for adults, observes that: "Since much of childhood is spent in play, or in wonder at what is common and yet not commonplace, what surrounds children in their constantly unfolding world are the subjects of poetry" (Lukens, 239). In this context, this essay will argue that Robert Frost's "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening" represents an ideal work of poetry for children's education in that it depicts a common experience in a way that suggests the beauty of everyday experience."

Abstract
This paper is a critical analysis of Ursula K. Le Guin's The Ones Who Walked Away from Omelas. Using the components of setting, imagery, and symbolism the theme of man versus self is analyzed. The author evaluates this theme and discusses how it is exposed throughout the play and what messages it contains.
From the Paper
"The utilitarian government or society that Le Guin has created is not unlike many of those of the world today. There are those who suffer at the expense of those who prosper the situation presently in Afghanistan is a dramatic example of this. There is also the choice of what will be done for the child who is suffering. Will he be ignored or will people walk away. That seems to be the saddest part of the story. It seems the only choice the city thinks that it can make is whether to ignore it or move farther away. During Nazi Germany this seemed to be the overall behavior of those living in the country. They also were aware of problem and tried to ignore it or move away. Recognizing a problem is a first step but one must also have a mind to do a thing and foresee a future possibility and a plan for its accomplishment in order to solve a problem. Ignoring a problem will only let it fester and become infectious."

Film: Jacques Tourneur's "I Walked with a Zombie", 2007.

Abstract
This paper examines the love triangle with a zombie and two brothers, in Jacques Tourneur's film "I Walked with a Zombie", as delineated in the scene in which the maid Alma brings Betsy her breakfast in bed. The author points out that this scene demonstrates the way this film is deliberately and carefully crafted. The paper utilizes Roland Barthes' model of textual analysis, which determine the meanings of a specific text, to dissect this interaction and interpret the ways in which it ties the characters of Betsy and Jessica together. The author states that Barthes's approach to analysis still leaves important questions unanswered. The paper concludes that no system can take into account the infinite ways in which an adroit author can manipulate his or her text, subverting it, twisting it and then simply ignoring parts of it completely.
From the Paper
"Lastly, the Cultural Code is a loose concept that acknowledges the importance of common cultural knowledge in understanding texts. As mentioned above, again the cultural code is most relevant in this sequence in relation to class and race. A knowledge of Western racial history enables viewers to understand that, as privileged members of the racial upper class, both Betsy and Jessica enjoy a similar social status that places them above Alma. To illustrate, it would be surprising to see Alma wait on Betsy if she too were black, which itself would be surprising since blacks at the time of the film were generally denied the opportunities necessary to enter the medical field in the first place."

Abstract
This essay analyzes how the point of view creates a narrative effect that represents both the racial conflicts of the story, as well as the child's experiences in relation to the events that take place. The child's point of view is a powerful device for conveying the drama of the story in the innocence of the narrator's experience and perception.

Abstract
This paper explains that Frost's careful choice of simple language and rhythm in this poem are intentional as is the personification of the horse so that it seems as though Frost is talking to it on the journey even though Frost is really only talking to himself. The paper further explains how the poem is about death and man's immortality, citing passages from the poem to illustrate this theme.
From the Paper
"The poem's title, "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening," suggests several things. We immediately know the setting, but we also have both the woods and the time of day -- evening -- suggesting darkness. Since he is just stopping, this suggests that he is looking, considering, but not necessarily going in. Throughout the poem we see images of coldness, darkness, and a suggestion that what Frost is really looking at is the prospect of death - not necessarily suicide, but his own mortality."

From the Paper
"Of the poetry of Robert Frost it has been pointed out, . . . if the majority of Frost s admirers . . . seem . . . content to share the poet s delight in cherishing the humble beauties of nature recorded by him with such precision . . . those readers have been willing to settle for too little, when so many other and deeper levels of meaning are available in his poems. Of the many poems this assertion could be made, "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" provides one of the more interesting and revealing examples. Consideration of the process of Frost's creativity in the writing of this poem must take these two major factors into account: the simple pastoral scene used as the poem's "setting" and the idea or thought of the poem itself.
In "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" the poet-as-narrator draws the reader into the world of his experience on two ... "
