Filipino/Chinese Immigrant Experiences
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay that examines Jade Snow Wong's Fifth Chinese Daughter and Carlos Bulosan's America is in the Heart. The writer argues that both texts express the author's impressions of America and the manner in which being "American" expresses itself in their lives. As a second generation Chinese-American, Wong's middle class background is very different from the abject poverty of Bulosan's Filipino background. Nevertheless, an examination of these two autobiographical accounts demonstrates how they each come to share a faith in the American Dream that offers them satisfaction and hope for the future.

Flannery O’Connor: Biographical Outline, Characters and Themes Found in Her Work
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the writer Flannery O’Connor and the themes and characters in her work. The writer Flannery O’Connor was born in Savannah in 1925 to a Catholic family. She was highly observant of the religious zeal and injustices which existed in the southern states during her lifetime and incorporated these themes into her writing. In her work she used her characters to relate the unrealities which existed in the world and often portrayed those who were superior or religiously zealous as grotesque or harmful. In turn, she portrayed the innocents in her stories as more realistic characters and ones who required the patience and sympathy of the readers. O’Connor lived a relatively short life as she died of lupus at the age of 39 but in that time she wrote thirty-one stories and two novels in addition to her lecturing.

Franklin's Autobiography
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page essay that argues that Benjamin Franklin's autobiography offers readers insight into the eighteenth century. In his introduction to Benjamin Franklin's autobiography, Louis P. Masur comments that the text gives the reader insight into understanding the social context of the eighteenth century (2003, p. 7). Examination of Franklin's text shows that Masur's assessment is extremely accurate, as Franklin's account of his life aids the modern reader in understanding the worldview of American colonial intellectuals. In particular, Franklin portrays the eighteenth century emphasis on reason and rationality, which was the fundamental precept of the Enlightenment. No additional sources cited.
