1926.20967 The Absentee Role Model: The Role of Malachy McCourt in Frank McCourt?s Angela?s Ashes
This 4-page undergraduate essay considers the many effects Malachy McCourt has on his son Frank in Frank McCourt?s Pulitzer-Prize winning memoir, Angela?s Ashes. This essay begins by considering that we learn from many role models, and in learning through these role models, we learn what we do and so not value. This essay then moves on to a closer examination of Malachy McCourt?s role in McCourt?s book. This essay concludes that if we consider that we all learn from many role models, learning both admirable traits and disagreeable characteristics from them, we can read Frank McCourt?s memoir, Angela?s Ashes, as an examination of the effect of a father figure on the child Frank McCourt. Examining the relationship between Frank and his often-absent father, we can see the ways Malachy McCourt affects his son both positively and negatively, directly and indirectly. Malachy McCourt does intentionally teach his sons some positive lessons, stressing to them the importance of Irish culture and history and emphasizing the importance of personal dignity through direct speeches and lessons. Through his behaviour, Malachy McCourt indirectly teaches his sons about irresponsibility, the dangers of drinking, and about a certain type of callousness. Although Malachy McCourt teaches his sons gentleness and calm through his example, he also teaches them about irresponsibility. Ultimately, he teaches them to reject irresponsibility. Frank, especially, is so appalled by his father?s behaviour that he all but rejects him, imagining a different type of father figure for himself. Understanding the role of Malachy McCourt as a role model for Frank, one can see the complex and often indirect ways father figures affect their children, both for good and for ill.

1929.21001 Character Ambiguity, Socio-Psychological Dilemmas, ?A Good Man Is Hard To Find,? And ?Cathedral?
This essay examines some of the social and psychological dilemmas that are implied by ambiguities in individual characters in "A Good Man Is Hard To Find" by Flannery O'Connor and "Cathedral" by Raymond Carver. The Misfit is used from the former story and the husband from the latter. After an analysis of each, the characters are compared and contrasted with each other to further illustrate the implications of their own ambiguities.

1930.21009 A Brief Consideration of Fate and Destiny in Simone Schwarz-Bart?s The Bridge of Beyond (1972)
This 3-page graduate essay studies and analyses the theme of fate and destiny in the development of the identities of the characters in Simone Schwarz-Bart?s The Bridge of Beyond. This essay concludes that Simone Schwarz-Bart?s novel, Pluie et Vent sur Telumee Miracle, or The Bridge of Beyond (1972), suggests the ways in which fate is dangerous by presenting an escape from action. Fate or destiny is presented in two ways throughout the novel. Perhaps most obviously, Télumée?s grandmother warns her about the dangers of accepting fate as a reason for an event. Télumée is able to see this danger herself when her husband blames difficulties on fate. Secondly, the stories Télumée hears from her grandmother suggest the malleability of fate. Although the stories suggest the fates - motherhood, slavery -, which are likely to be encountered by Télumée, they also provide Télumée with a way to escape these fates. By re-inventing the stories and becoming a storyteller, Télumée finds a place in her community very different than the one suggested by the stories. In her rejection of fate as inevitability, Télumée shows herself to be an independent and strong woman. Her rejection of passive fate allows her to shape her own destiny and build her role as a storyteller.

1931.21023 A Character Analysis of Eveline by James Joyce
This paper will examine the nature of Eveline and her error in not leaving with Frank. In Jame Joyce's story "Eveline", we can see how fear of change, and romantic defeatism prohibit Eveline from embarking on a journey with Frank to Buenos Aires, and marrying this honourable man. She makes an error by refusing to change, and letting herself become a victim of her neighbourhood and the depressing life she has become accustomed to.

1932.21052 Virgil?s The Aeneid: Fortune Favors Those Who Dare
While Virgil may not have been the first person to realize that those who are brave enough to strive for something often achieve their goals, he did put it very succinctly in his Aeneid, ?Fortune favours those who dare?. The importance of this line is found in not only the meaning of it when taken out of context (in such a situation, we are presented with a simple sentence that, like so many positive-affirmations, can be a simple and easy motivator moving people to work hard toward their aspirations) but also very distinct meaning within the work itself. It is the latter that we are concerned with. What, indeed, was the contextual meaning and value of this line? How did Virgil intend for the reader to experience and agree or disagree? What, exactly, does it mean within the Aeneid? These are the questions that will form the structure of this paper.
