Identity Formation for Girls
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay on 3 narratives. There is a bond between mothers and daughters that is typically more intense throughout the lifespan. Early in life, boys differentiate themselves from identification with their mothers and turn to their fathers for an adult male role model, but a daughter's focus remains with her mother and the maternal bond never slackens but tends to intensify. Therefore, the processes involved in identity formation for girls are intimately connected to their relationships with their mothers. This factor is evident in three contemporary perspectives, which present narratives of female identity formation. In particular, in Isabel Allende's short story, "Wicked Girl," Louise Erdich's novel The Antelope Wife, and in the film "Real Women Have Curves," the narrative focuses on how differences between the generations complicate this process in young girls/women.

Kate Chopin/Emotions of Women
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page essay that analyzes four stories by nineteenth century author Kate Chopin: "The Story of an Hour," "Ripe Figs," "A Respectable Woman," and "The Storm." The writer argues that Chopin, as a nineteenth century woman, focused her writing on the emotional experience of the women of her era. While many of these problems concern the severe societal expectations and restrictions under which women operated during the Victorian era, other aspects of her writing are more universal, relating to the emotions of women, their longings and their sexuality. By presenting her own unique focus, Chopin portrayed a vision of womanhood that provides a sharp contrast to the desexualized, stoic ideal of her era. No additional sources cited.

Lars von Trier’s “Dancer in the Dark” and “Breaking the Waves”: Strength, Devotion and the Ideal Portrayed in the “Unlikely” Simple Central Characters
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the central characters in two films of Lars von Trier, “Breaking the Waves” and “Dancer in the Dark”. Two films of Lars von Trier, “Breaking the Waves” and “Dancer in the Dark” tell the story of two women who prove their strength through their devotion to the ones they love. In a strange scenario and a play between reality and the ideal however, von Trier portrays both women as seemingly simple and frail with their strength only being revealed later in their ultimate sacrifices for others. Bess in “Breaking the Waves” originally is portrayed to viewers as perhaps somewhat “mentally touched” as she talks to herself and God. While these may be seen as weak characteristics in reality, Bess portrays the ideal as her devotion to her husband leads to her compromising her own life. Similarly, Selma in “Dancer in the Dark” appears simplistic to viewers in the onset of the film but her dedication to her son and her perseverance to provide for him the savings he will require to save his sight override any concern for her own safety and she too sacrifices her own life for his; both women’s devotion portraying the ultimate ideal in devotion, selflessness and strength.

Lillian Smith's "Strange Fruit"
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Lillian Smith's Strange Fruit addresses the prevalence of racial discord as it existed more than fifty years ago; indeed, Smith could never know the extent to which contemporary society continues to struggle with racial issues she depicts in her book. The assumptions that the town of Maxwell has about black women – their capabilities, sexuality, maternal qualities – are displayed by way of defiant intolerance toward the relationship – and subsequent baby – between Tracy and Nonnie. Nonnie is treated with disdain, which is par for the course in a community that expresses such social and cultural close-mindedness. Bess, on the other hand, is embraced as common folk who know where their ethnic boundaries are. The conversations that take place between Tracy and the preacher are indicative of the sometimes-strained relationship between religion and real life, inasmuch as the preacher must speak for and advise under the power of the clergy rather than express what might be a realistic understanding and acceptance of Tracy's situation.
