Abstract
This essay explores the idea that Porter's three books ?Noon Wine?, ?Flowering Judas? and ?Theft?, despite seemingly diverse story lines, all have the central theme of betrayal.
From the Paper
"Katherine Anne Porter writes with a pen of diversity, creating storylines that contrast each other in seemingly every aspect of fiction. Her Noon Wine, Flowering Judas, and Theft detail their plots with dissimilar settings, characters, writing techniques, and actions to ensure each claims a new experience in fiction. Yet the Porter trio have enough psychological similarities in thesis to generate the same meaning. In each story, betrayal emerges as the central theme."

Abstract
This paper provides a psychoanalytic reading of Katherine Anne Porter's Flowering Judas and focuses on the dysfunctional behavior of the story's two main characters, Braggioni, a leader of the Mexican revolution, and Laura, a young American who is both a revolutionary and a teacher. Included in the paper is a summary of the major principles of psychoanalytic criticism.
From the Paper
"Although these two characters are presented as ideological opposites ? Braggioni's corruption and selfishness versus Laura's honesty and altruism ? a closer look reveals them to be more alike than different. Both are driven by fear, a fear of betrayal as well as a fear of intimacy. Ultimately, both betray the very principles they claim to uphold."

"Pale Horse, Pale Rider" ( Katherine Anne Porter ) and "In Our Time" ( Ernest Hemingway ), 1995.
Compares the authors' personas in story collections, styles, structures, themes, characters and autobiographical elements.

Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"Ernest Hemingway and Katherine Anne Porter are very different sorts of writers, with different styles and different ways of structuring their material. Pale Horse, Pale Rider is a collection by Porter containing three long stories, or novelettes, while Hemingway's collection In Our Time contains a number of short stories held together by material separating the stories as if they were chapters in a larger work. Both writers tackle some of the major themes of fiction, including death, war, and sex, but they see these issues in somewhat different ways and present their material in their own unique styles. Both writers might be called stylists in that they make strong use of language to create a poetic vision in words, but Hemingway's spare style is not the same as the direct and descriptive style used by Porter."

Anne Frank's "Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl", 2004.

Abstract
This paper explains that Anne Frank in her bibliography "Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl", being a typical teenage girl, was incredibly emotional. The author points out that the circumstance in which she recorded these sentiments was such that they were always overshadowed by her immense fear. The paper relates that, in the first few diary entries written in the Annex, although slightly afraid, Frank does not realize the true level of danger she is in and therefore fills page after page with detailed but mundane descriptions of daily life in the Annex. The author then explains that, as Frank matures, she begins to empathize with the apprehensiveness felt by the adults and, as a result, her fear begins to increase. The paper stresses that, in a child's mind, death is not a feasible occurrence; therefore, she can allow herself to believe that she does not fear it.
From the Paper
'In this entry, as well as many others, she discusses her constant fears of being caught by the Germans while hiding in the secret annex with her family. This entry is especially powerful because it sheds light on the fact that, in such small cramped conditions, there is little to do but let your mind wander. When put in a situation where you can not talk or laugh too loudly for fear of capture, all that one is left with is his or her thoughts and for a young girl, this can cause immense fright. As she points out on this same page of her diary, everything she says or does leads her back to thoughts of fear."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the character, Anne Shirley is more than a character in a book. She has been a friend and kindred spirit to millions of people over several generations. It shows how we relate her adventures to our own lives and filter them through our own experiences. Anne grows from childhood into adolescence, from adolescence to adulthood and beyond and each step of the way the reader is there with her, sharing her decisions, facing her fears and relating it to their own lives. The paper discusses how the growth and individuality of L.M. Montgomery?s Anne Shirley in "Anne of Green Gables", "Anne of Avonlea", and "Anne of the Island", depicts an inner struggle from self-delusion to self-awareness that can be recognised within us all.
From the Paper
"The novels are over, Anne finally realized she loves Gil, and their future seems set, so why do we still need more? What is it about Anne Shirley that has kept a world at her side for close to a century? Epperly captures it best when she states; ?we cannot fully explain Anne?s hold over us?(46). My mother and grandmother both read Anne?s story before me, loved her spirit, and secretly wished to be her. Three generations of women enraptured by one small girl with the heart of a lion. Why? ?Anne Shirley continues to live on today because she does not conform to reader expectations, to cultural stereotype, or accepted convention?(Epperly 70). I like to believe Anne Shirley lives on today because each of those readers would consider her a friend and kindred spirit and has held and cherished a piece of her in their hearts since they first discovered her. There is something about Anne that brings out the best in people. Her imagination, her joy in every common thing, her virtues and her faults; Anne is an icon for attaining our dreams."

"Unfortunately, as with many laws, the Highway Beautification legislation was not tight enough to keep the large concerns from moving through the loop holes, and the small concerns, as those along Route 66, to suffer the consequence. Time went on, and the number of billboards continued to grow. Today, the billboard blight is worse in some states than others and environmental groups actively work together to keep additional laws from making matters worse."

"The Diary of Lady Murasaki", 2005.

Abstract
In examining "The Diary of Lady Murasaki", this paper analyzes the relationship between men and women as seen during the Heian Period in Japan, and Murasaki's observations of life on the court.
From the Paper
"The Japanese at the Heian court began to develop a culture that was independent from the Chinese culture that had formed the cultural life of imperial Japan up until then (Ebrey, 193). Since Chinese writing was adapted to an entirely different language, the Japanese began their own writing system. They also developed a court culture with values and concepts uniquely different from imperial China (Johnson, Oct. 24, 2005). This culture was largely among the women's communities at court and reached their peak by Lady Murasaki. The Diary of Lady Murasaki is a historical document that marks a turning point in women's history. During the Heian period it was considered inappropriate for a woman to know how to write in Chinese and was reserved for men. Regardless, women went on to write poems, prose, and dairies, thus proving to the males that they were capable of writing."

Abstract
This paper explains that Lady Murasaki wrote her "Court Diary during the period in which Bushido was a code and way of life for Samurai men and was influenced by Zen and Confucianism. The author points out that in Lady Murasaki's "Court Diary", it is obvious that Buddhism and Buddhist metaphysics are very much a part of Japanese court life; however, what is not so obvious is that Chinese Confucianism also had become part of 10th century Japan's Imperial court. The paper relates that the notion of impermanence is an extremely salient characteristic throughout the Diary; she writes that all things are ephemeral, reflecting on the aesthetics of the period, which were based on the beauty of impermanence.
From the Paper
"Confucianism influenced the Chinese attitude toward life, set the patterns of living and standards of social value, and provided the background for Chinese political theories and institutions. It eventually spread from China to Korea, from Korea to Japan where it was first brought to around the fifth century. Confucius had a great impact on the Japanese civilization. His teachings relating to ethics, honor, social responsibility, familial obligations, ancestor worship, and observation of rites and historical precedence provide the glue that gives the Japanese civilization continuity and durability."

Abstract
A paper which focuses on the psychological aspects of dreams and psychoanalysis in order to make sense of Lady Macbeth's actions. The author of this paper examines how Lady Macbeth turns from a single-minded, ambitious, unforgiving murderer to a guilty, sleepwalking, absent-minded mess. The author delves into instances from the text that suggest what Lady Macbeth was going through at the time and shows how, psychologically, Sigmund Freud?s theory of psychoanalysis would be suited best to find the reasoning behind Lady Macbeth?s metamorphosis.
From the Paper
"In order to make any headway into this subject, an overview of Freud?s psychoanalytical theory is needed. Psychoanalysis is a theory that derives on the idea that the unconscious mind is driven by the sexual urges and primal instinct of man (Quigley 2). One of the most significant points in this theory is the idea that our inborn desires are governed by three separate entities designated as the Id, the Ego, and the Superego (Quigley 3). The Id is the part of the unconscious mind that contains the sexual, instinctive urges of man (Quigley 3). The Superego is the unconscious purveyor of the internalized rules of society; better known as the cautious part of the mind (Quigley 3). The Ego, on the other hand, is the medium between the Id and the Superego; the Ego takes the primal urge under advisement, brings the Superego into the equation, and comes to an eventual compromise between the two (Quigley 3)."
