Gwen Harwood Gender Analysis - 2 views

  • The patriarchy of the society within the context of which poet Gwen Harwood constructed her poetry, is observed, sometimes criticized and often challenged in the collection of poems found in the text 'Gwen Harwood, Selected Poems'. The representation of the images of men, women and gender differences to which a society consciously or unconsciously subscribes are captured through her writings.

      I think this is a little awkward - as though it is trying to sound more intelligent than it is - but it certainly gives you something to think about. When writing your own essays you should consider that, despite being female Harwood is writing in a male field for a male audience.

How to Write a Character Analysis Essay | eHow.com - 1 views

  • Define your chosen character in terms of whether he is the protagonist (hero), antagonist (villain), supporting player (a helpmate of either the hero or villain) or a catalyst. A catalyst character (also referred to as an agent for change) often does not participate directly in any of the action, but instead fulfills the role of inspiring the lead character to take up a cause or quest he might otherwise not have pursued (for example, Spider-Man's kindly uncle who gets killed early in the story would fit this definition).
  • Pay sharp attention to the subtext of your character's actions and what they really say about him.
  • Discuss the character's interactions with others and whether the character treats them as superiors, peers or subordinates. Assess whether these interactions are consistent with or contrary to your expectations of their assigned roles.
