Analytical Response Essay

The two texts that this essay will compare and contrast are the novel The Great Gatsby by Scott
Fitzgerald and the play Death of a Salesman, written by Arthur Miller. Both works are based around
the central topic of 'the American Dream' and the unceremonious death of it. However, the journeys
that the protagonists take to meet their tragic ends are very different though the motives involved
are accused murder and adultery. This essay's aim is to determine whether the novel or the play
best is more successful in engaging and provoking the reader. This will be done by analysing
characters, plot lines and the main/recurring themes throughout. "I hope she'll be a fool – that's the
best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little...show more content...
The lavish parties he holds (though he rarely shows his face); his ownership of several enviable
motor vehicles, and his ludicrously large mansion that he resides in add to his 'image'. Though he
does have a large fortune which he can spend without care, Gatsby's wealth is 'new money'. 'New
money' is recently acquired wealth and can be earned through business deals, illegalities, gambling
and the like. As opposed to 'old money' which is inherited wealth as shown in the character Tom
Buchanan of East Egg whose family is extremely rich and goes back many generations. In Gatsby's
case, it was the selling of alcohol which was illegal in the Twenties– also known as bootlegging,
which earned him his fortune. This, in comparison to the discourse of the American Dream in Death
of a Salesman is slightly different. Willy is trying to achieve the American Dream by becoming
successful, thus ensuring him popularity. To be well–liked is what he is aiming for, and he is living
through his eldest son, Biff, in order to do so. "Nothing's planted. I don't have a thing in the
ground" (Arthur Miller, Death of a Salesman, Act 2). Willy's quote is further proof that he believes
his life and its doings have been failures, and he has nothing left, nothing constant or permanent. The
horticulture reference suggests that his 'garden' is a final effort to make up for his failed career and

Hansel & Gretel
In the fairy tale, "Hansel and Gretel" by the Brothers Grimm, the protagonists
Serve as heroes who must overcome the circumstances of their birth in order to reach maturity and
enlightenment. This hero quest takes place in three stages. The first is the separation, in which the
parents cast the children away from their home. In this stage, the children are for the most part
controlled by their surroundings. The second stage of their journey is the transformation, when the
children "battle a monster," or, in this case, defeat an evil witch. In this stage, the children rely upon
their own increasing intelligence to control their future. In...show more content...
In the second stage of Hansel and Gretel's hero quest, the transformation, they must defeat and
conquer their youth, id, and naГЇvetГ©. They do this by killing the evil witch who had lured them
into her gingerbread house. This is the most vital part of their development, yet they begin it in
their most vulnerable position. When the children are alone in the woods, they have lost a sense
of security and previous values. They must work towards a higher level of psychological
existence: their form of heroism. " The cottage was made of bread and roofed with cakes, while
the window was made of transparent sugar." (48) A gingerbread house is a symbol of the mother,
who nurses the infant from her body. In this way, the house serves as the Good Mother to the
children. When the children are shocked to see the failure of the witch as a mother figure, it only
further intensifies their oedipal development. By eating the gingerbread house, the children show
they are ready to destroy somebody's home, which is what caused them to be deserted by their
parents in the first place. By allowing their id to behave unchecked in this manner, they endanger
themselves. In order to defeat the witch, they must ignore the pressures of the id and follow the
superego. This balance then gives rise to their ego, which is an essential component of their
enlightenment. Birds appear once

Analytical Response to Male Pregnancy Essay
Analytical Response to Male Pregnancy
Male Pregnancy by Dick Teresi and Kathleen McAuliffe support that the technology and the
demand for male pregnancy will be possible in the future. They specifically state that, "Someday a
man will have a baby". They have written this article in an attempt to show why they believe this
will one day become accepted and widely practiced. However, I disagree with Teresi and McAuliffe.
I feel male pregnancy will never be freely practiced or accepted by any means.
Teresi and McAuliffe start out their article by explaining what their general idea is for male
pregnancy to occur. They state, "What we're talking about is implanting an embryo into a man's
abdominal cavity, where the fetus would...show more content...
They could potentially cause serious disorders or diseases in the long run. Also what would happen
if too many chemicals where given, or too few? The baby may not develop fully or develop with
disorders.
Another problem I found with the example of using the baboon was that "the experiment did not
result in the birth of a fully developed baboon baby". "The fetus in the male baboon had reached a
point at which it had survived embryonic development", but did not develop for the normal
gestation period of seven months, the baby baboon only underwent four. This means that yes, the
fetus was able to survive past the embryonic development stage, but there is no guarantee that it
would have been able to fully develop the rest of the way. Anything could simply fail to function
properly after a certain amount of time. For example, if you put a new piece of equipment into
your computer, it may run fine for the first 3 months and then just crash because it did not belong
and could no longer handle its environment. This would be like a man carrying a baby for 6
months and then no longer being capable of producing everything the fetus needs since his body is
not built like a woman's to do so.
The last problem I have with Teresi and McAuliffe using the baboon story as support was the fact
that "two decades later, the study remains largely obscure even to specialists in gynecology and
obstetrics because Jacobsen never published the

The SARA model is recognized as a problem solving methods that is used and practice by the
problem oriented policing. SARA analytical process can be used as a beneficial, but is not the only
way to approach problem solving. When you implement problem– oriented policing is it great to use
the SARA model. The SARA model has four stages which include Scanning, Analysis, Response,
and Assessment. Even though policing have many advantages by using the SARA model, it is
important to use the SARA model correctly otherwise problem solving can be unsuccessful. By
dividing the overall project into separate stages, SARA will help you to ensure that the steps are
established in proper order. For example, solutions cannot be accepted before an analysis of the
problem is happening. The four stages of SARA have impacted policing to work as a team and to
find correct answers to major problems, therefore the model has to be addressed and use
correctly. The first stage of the SARA model is scanning. Scanning means to identify the problem.
"A problem is a set of harmful event in a community that people expect the police to address".
(Clark & Eck, 2014). Before we can develop a solution, first they need to have a problem to solve.
Therefore when working on scanning, it is important for the police to find out the consequences of
the problem and also how often this problem does happens. "There are six required elements of a
problem in a community". (Clark & Eck, 2014). The six elements include

Literary Response And Analysis
The revised LRA or Literary Response and Analysis is an example of mastery of Writing
Standard 5 that is about listening to peers and adults and making edits and revisions. To begin
with, one major revision made was improving and reworking the analysis to be more effective. On
the original LRA response, it states, " If it wasn't for Beorn, the dwarves, Gandalf, and Bilbo
probably wouldn't know what to do. Also, the crew would be starving and tired as well if Gandalf
didn't know who Beorn is." After receiving constructive criticism from my teacher, edits from the

In particular, I wrote and rewrote a few rough drafts and also read through several peer review
sheets or comments left on the Google Doc itself. The peer edit sheets were extremely useful for
helping and correcting any mistakes because the other person could have different opinions on
how to improve the essay as well as being able to discover mistakes I probably accidentally read
over and did not notice it. Just as important were the self–assessment since that was most of the
revision part and leads to the final product. For example, before the first self–assessment, my essay
states, "However, the original novel already planned out the best beginning character personalities,
therefore changing the initial plan of the book is useless because it can backfire." After reviewing
the essay, I later wrote, "Changing the initial plan is useless because Tolkein already spent
countless hours thinking and trying to perfect the quest of Bilbo and the dwarves." The transition
aspect of the rubric improved my writing because it presented the expectation for how well the
essay is supposed to "flow" together and be more smooth to read. After the first assessment, I made
two more important changes after the peer review sheets. A major revision made was, "However, in
the movie The Hobbit directed by Peter Jackson, he had made

Macbeth Response : Analytical Essay
Macbeth Response: Analytical Essay
The story of Macbeth is a tragic one, and his demise is mainly due to his character flaws. A
character flaw of his is blind ambition. As the story progresses Macbeth goes to further and
further lengths to keep his position as king. He is also a follower; all his actions are the result of
things that other people have told him. He also has a lack of confidence, which leads to him
doubting his actions and having strong feelings of guilt that affect his mental health. His last
character flaw is bravery and greed. His bravery leads him to do the deed of murdering the king
and his greed makes him keep committing acts of murder to make sure he stays in the position of
king. These character flaws also reflect humanity. The flaw of blind ambition can be compared to
powerful people and companies who went to unsafe or unethical ways to get what they wanted.
Macbeth's first character flaw is his blind ambition. He is an ambitious character throughout most
of the play, although at the beginning of the story he doesn't care much for power as he expresses
surprise when he is named Thane of Cawdor. However as the story develops his actions become
progressively worse as he tries to secure his position as king. This attitude of blind ambition, doing
whatever it takes to secure himself safely in the position of King, is a main reason for his downfall.
However, despite this apparent attitude of going to huge lengths to succeed, there is a pattern of

Analytical Essay of Macbeth
Shakespeare uses vivid and powerful forms of imagery to let the audience visualize the setting.
Lady Macbeth is portrayed as a strong woman who is attracted to power and would do anything to
be in control; she is anything but an elegant and sensitive woman. After the bloodshed begins,
however, Lady Macbeth falls an easy prey to insanity and guilt. Her soliloquy (5.1.24–30) shows her
decline into madness when she says,"out damned spot..." There are many examples of visual and
aural imagery throughout the play. The murder of Duncan is indicated by the clanging of a bell and
the knocking at the gate. Though they are not described in the text, the stage directions are enough
to build up the tension. The knocking occurs between each...show more content...
Blood is another motif throughout the play. The language used to describe Macbeth's anguished
state is extraordinarily effective in terms of imagery and detail. When Macbeth looks at his hands
and thinks they are a "sorry sight" and his hand "will rather the multitudinous seas incarnadine,
making the green one red" (2.2.58). Shakespeare uses personification to manipulate Macbeth's
bloody hands as witnesses to the murder when Lady Macbeth urges him to "wash this filthy witness
from your hands" (2.2.50). 'Themes are fundamental ideas explored in literary work.' In my chosen
extract, there are no specific lines that show the various themes in the play. However, the link
between cruelty and masculinity is one of the first themes introduced to the audience. The murder
of Duncan is the first in Macbeth's long line of killings. It soon becomes evident to us that Lady
Macbeth provides the brains and the willpower behind Macbeth 's actions. Her behavior proves that
women can be as ambitious as men, as she herself wishes to be "unsexed" (1.5.40); to become more
masculine than feminine. Even so, she depends on the manipulation of others, rather than using
violence herself. Macbeth asks her to "bring forth men children only" (1.7.73) and she says nothing
to challenge this statement. The hired murderers were also persuaded to

English Assessment Task– Analytical Response: Evaluating an interpretation of literature The text
'A Most Lamentable Man' written by Christine Marlowe is an interpretation of Shakespeare's
Romeo & Juliet which portrays arguments about Friar Laurence, indicating that he was to blame for
the tragic ending to the play. Marlowe Claims "Throughout the plot, it is the actions of Friar
Laurence, and he alone that are most significant in ensuring the final tragedy of the play." The
statement proves that she believes the Friar to be the influence or the main reason the star crossed
lovers die whereas in Shakespeare's original version he made the Friar a caring man that just wants to
help the young couple and marry them in the unlikely event that...show more content...
She decides to use words and phrases like 'malicious', 'dangerous', 'reckless', 'not dependable',
'unreliable'and 'weak' to falsely describe him and his actions. Marlowe cleverly included these
words to create a stronger impact on the audience to influence their final thoughts about Friar
Laurence after reading her version and Shakespeare's original portrayal. By doing this she is
stripping him of his title and therefore all of his wisdom and power. She mentions in her text
"Shakespeare's subtle use of language and literary devices provides early indication of a fatal
flaw in Friar Laurence, which guides Romeo and Juliet toward tragedy." Marlowe shows a
successful use of literary devices for example, Foreshadowing, paradox, soliloquy and so on,
unfortunately lacking truth and accuracy, to persuade readers that Friar Laurence played the key
role in Romeo & Juliet's end. Marlowe claims "Interestingly Shakespeare provides early warning
about the internal flaws of Laurence in his use of language earlier in the play." There is another
side to this story, Shakespeare's original version, which is the more accurate version in my eyes.
Christine Marlowe may have fooled some people with her interpretation about the Friar, but not in
this case. She demonstrated an interpretation in the plot, being that she misguidedly portrayed the
Friar and his actions, she perceives Friar

Critical Analysis Of ' The Kite Runner '
Critical Analysis of The Kite Runner "It may be unfair, but what happens in a few days,
sometimes even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime..." (142). Khaled
Hosseini's The Kite Runner unfolds the story of the affluent youth Amir and his servant friend
Hassan, who are separated by a traumatizing sexual assault and the 1979 Soviet Union invasion of
Afghanistan. Despite a fresh start in San Francisco, Amir is devoured by guilt for failing to
protect his loyal friend. Many years later, when called back to Afghanistan to come to Hassan's aid,
Amir sets on a personal quest to not only atone for past personal failings but also to embrace a
hopeful ideal of citizenship capable of upholding principles of liberty and human rights. Precisely,
the novel succeeds in sketching the maturation of its protagonist from a conflicted, callow boy to a
wise, redeemed man, as well as portrays the political situation of contemporary Afghanistan. Hosseini
intertwines the personal and the political realms of experience to depict how these transformations
of Afghanistan (from the 1970s to 2001) weather its people and present the reality of the country to
westerners oblivious to it. This illustration is central to The Kite Runner. The author styles a wide
variety of techniques and elements in the story to reinforce its multitude of themes including the
fidelity of friendship, opportunity for redemption, sin of stealing, and veracity of love. Throughout,
the novel follows an episodic

Gasses such as CO2, methane, water vapor, nitrous oxide, and CFCs are gasses that increase the
greenhouse effect (1). The levels of CO2 in the atmosphere has stayed between 180 and 300 parts
per million for 800,000 years, in 2014 the CO2 levels has increased to 400 parts per million (5).
Why has there been just an increase in CO2 and other greenhouse gasses? Climate Change prior to
the Industrial Revolution can be explained by natural causes, recent climate change can not be
explained by natural causes along, so humans are the most likely cause for Global Warming (5).
Human activities release over 30 billion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere every year (5). We release
these gasses through things like burning fossil fuels (CO2), agriculture, and waste in landfills
(methane), soil cultivation and fuel burning (nitrous oxide), automobiles, power plants, and
industrial sources (ozone), and the most abundant greenhouse gas water vapor, which is controlled
by temperatures so as the temperatures rise more water vapor is trapped (1). According to a group
of 1,300 independent scientific experts from countries all over the world they concluded that "there

Analytical Response to Barbara Kingsolver's "Stone Soup" Barbara Kingsolver's "Stone Soup" is
a personal response to society's view of the "broken" family. Kingsolver believes that society has
for too long criticized divorce, remarriage, single parenthood, gay parents, and blended families,
and that alternative families deserve equal standing in our society. In response to reading
Kingsolver's essay, this paper will serve to show which parts of "Stone Soup" are supported by
outside evidence and which are not. "Stone Soup" is a personal reaction by Barbara Kingsolver that
expresses the author's feelings in response to society's negative view and it's holding of contempt of
divorced,...show more content...
For example, Kingsolver defends the notion that families of nontraditional arrangements do not need
to be examined, ridiculed or treated differently with pity or tolerance as traditionally married
families when she says, "Arguing about whether nontraditional families deserve pity or tolerance is a
little like the medieval debate about left–handedness as a mark of the devil" (Kingsolver 16). By this
statement, the author clearly expresses her belief that nontraditional families are just as successful in
their roles as traditional or married families, though evidence gathered has rejected Kingsolver's
argument. In an article by Naomi Gerstel and Natalia Sarkisian, the authors present the benefits of
marriage as opposed to divorced or single parenthood families. Naomi Gerstel writes that,
"advocates [of marriage] such as David Popenoe and Linda Waite assert that marriage is good for
one's pocketbook, health, happiness, sex life, and kids. Both men and women who are married tend
to have higher incomes, more wealth, better health, and more property than those who are not." The
article goes on to describe the negative impacts of divorce and nontraditional families by introducing
National Census statistics of relationships between married parents and their children compared with

Analytic Response To Homosexuality
Analytic Response Week 4 As the physical structure of society has changed year after year, so has
its mindset. As many would note, the 21st century people have developed more of an understanding
and knowledge on why society acts the way it does and what issues hold more prominence than
others. These post–modernists have delved into the mind of the past and uncovered what they
believe to be the truth of how humanity once interacted, specifically, when it came to the Bible and
its interpretation of homosexuality. Of course, there are specific passages in the Bible that do
mention homosexuality and its condemnation of it. However,–whether being an avid reader of the
Bible or not–the translation of the passages have been debated by many. One problems that arises
in the translation of these passages is how literally one is reading the words of the Bible. There are
readers who deliberately take the Bible word–for–word and believe it to be exactly how "God
wanted it to be". On the other hand, more so leaning towards the 21st century and post–modernism,
these readers are now saying to look at the Bible as if it was an historical account of religions–like
Christianity and Judaism–and what their beliefs were all these years ago....show more content...
Every reader has a different stance on topics and may tend to be more or less biased depending on
the text. The dispute with that is who really knows how the right translation of the text will be–only
the author (or in the Bible's case, authors) will truly know. However, it appears that there is
somewhat of a consensus between translators of the Bible and how they interpreted homosexuality.
It appears that the Bible does not directly condemn homosexual relations. More so, it seems to
condemn heterosexual men committing homosexual

Reader Response Theory The Reader Response Theory emerged as a reaction against the New
Criticism or formalistic approach, which focused on the text, finding all the meaning, the value in
it and regarding everything else as extraneous, including readers. Despite the ideas of the Reader
Response in the 1920's, the late Louise Rosenblatt pioneered the Reader Response theory. She was
a literary theorist and an English Educator. In her writing, Literature as Exploration written in
1938, she emphasizes that the readers play an important role in the life of any piece of literature.

It allows for inferences and insights by the reader This means that when a reader reads some
literary texts it is the belief that it allows the individual to construct his/her own meaning. Once
the reader is able to interact with the text, he/she is able to explore and interpret it in a way in
which his or her cultural backgrounds is understood and that of others. Within a literary text, the
reader is able to understand why specific cultures do certain practices and how it places value on
society. Furthermore, it is through a text that individuals gain insight on what is morally
acceptable to society and can be able to link it through their experiences whether in their school
environment and the community. This insight may be gained not just by reading one book, but
through various literary text in which they are able to apply their critical thinking skills and
construct their own understanding whether it may be through a poem or story. However, not all
similar books will be written the same way, for example, Cinderella. There are many Cinderella
books written with countless interpretation; however, readers can be able to read all and find
similarities such as it is wrong to treat people cruel or that the stepmother is cruel. Despite that, a
reader may have a stepmother who is a wonderful person yet he or she can analyze and understand
that not all stepmothers are cruel or not everyone will treat a person wrongfully. In essence, the

Analytical Essay Othello
Shakespeare is prominent in his use of recurring themes throughout his works, particularly those of
love, death, and betrayal. All these themes are present in Othello. Most dominant, however, are
manipulation and jealousy. Jealousy runs the characters' lives in Othello from the beginning of the
play, when Roderigo is jealous of Othello because he wishes to be with Desdemona, and to the end of
the play, when Othello is furious with jealousy because he believes Cassio and Desdemona have
been engaging in an affair, but manipulation the prominent action that fuels the jealousy within
Othello. Some characters' jealousy is fashioned by other characters. Iago is involved in much of this,
creating lies and implementing confusing situations....show more content...
He is clever in his diction to avoid confrontation that can easily erupt. An example of Iago's
manipulation is when he and Roderigo confront Brabanzio about his daughter. Brabanzio does not
believe what the two say about Desdemona, calling it ridiculous, and he becomes angry because he
has been woken up in the middle of the night. Roderigo immediately starts to explain, which only
angers Brabanzio even more. Iago, on the other hand, responds by actually complimenting
Brabanzio. Brabanzio yells, "Thou art a villain" to which Iago responds, "You are a senator". The
father is taken aback by this surprising comment and it causes him to step back and re–examine the
situation, which eases his anger and causes him to believe the two storytellers, especially when he
finds Desdemona missing from her bed chamber
However, along with his word choice, Iago is clever at the timing of what he says. He knows
exactly what to say and when to say it to incite jealousy within anyone he wishes. He uses this
particularly well with Roderigo and Othello. An example of Iago's timing of jealousy is when he
speaks to Roderigo of the suspicions regarding Desdemona's love for Othello. "Mark me with what
violence she first loved the Moor but for bragging and telling her fantastical lies. To love him still
for prating? Let not thy discreet heart think it. Her eye must be fed". In this excerpt Iago represents

"A Wall of Fire Rising" by Edwidge Danticat
There are two people in this world: those who can deal with life's challenges and those who cannot.
"A Wall of Fire Rising" by Edwidge Danticat recognizes this predicament in the shantytowns of
Haiti in 1991. Freedom has a different meaning for everybody and can be attained in different ways.
As referenced by Guy, the hot air balloon is the key to freedom. Guy and his wife, Lili, have
different perspectives on freedom and what life should be. Lili loves her husband Guy, but is not

The first time, Guy took this quote to heart and compared it to his own life. The second time was
said when Guy committed suicide and jumped out of the hot air balloon. Some would argue if it
was suicide or if it could be justified. Either way, Danticat wanted to resemble Guy's similarity
with Boukman and distinguish it from the rest of the characters. At the time of Guy's death, the
foreman asked if Lili wanted her husbands eyes to be closed. She responded, "No lave them open.
My husband, he likes to look at the sky" (244). Guy was not happy with his life on earth living in
poverty. He finally reached freedom when he passed away. Lili did not judge her husband for
committing the act and was not disappointed at him when he left her and Little Guy. Little Guy
was in shock when he stood over his father's dead body. He did not say anything besides his lines
for the play. Little Guy's voice tone was angry and confused. In conclusion, there are two people
in this world: those who can deal with life's challenges and those who cannot. Guy could not face
the fact of staying in poverty and decided to escape and find freedom elsewhere. Lili dealt with
life's challenges so she could give their son a better life then what they had. Danticat did a fantastic
job by incorporating a historical reference to this story. The similarity between Boukman and Guy
were identical.

Macbeth Analytical Response
Macbeth Critical Analytical Response
If Macbeth were to be made into a movie, it would have to be rated R based on the main conflicts
that involve violence, and other innopropropriate content. However, blood is an essential part of
Macbeth. In this play Shakespeare uses blood as a symbol for guilt. This symbolism is used to
project the actions of the two main characters, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth along with others.
Shakespeare clearly communicates his theme that one's ambition along with certain circumstances
may force them to respond with acts of evil. These people with then be consumed and destroyed
by their guilt. At the beginning of the play Macbeth is introduced as brave, honourable and loyal,
a great general who fought loyally to defend his king. When the sergeant introduces him for the
first time, he is referred to as "brave Macbeth" the sergeant goes on to praise "well he deserves that
name". In the first few scenes ambitious Macbeth is praised to the point where it seems he can do
no evil. Throughout the play we get to know macbeth and although he does horribel things, there is a
part of him that remains innocent in the sence that he always feel sbad for what he has done....show
