Esther’s anxieties about sex continue to manifest themselves through clothing, as evidenced by her attempt to cultivate a friendship with Betsy, a virginal young woman from Kansas. If Doreen is the quintessential “bad girl,” then Betsy, nicknamed “Pollyanna Cowgirl” by Doreen, is the quintessential “good” girl, with her “her bouncing blonde ponytail and Sweetheart-of-Sigma-Chi smile” (6). As a model young woman, Betsy “does” fashion correctly, eventually becoming a model herself: after her guest editorship
Concepts of Team Management When we think of the word team, individually many different ideas may come to mind about what a team really is. Some may think of an NFL team (Tennessee Titans), an NBA team (Sacramento Kings), or a NASA astronaut team with such pioneers as Edwin Aldrin, Jr. and Neil Armstrong as members. You might even think of the U.S. Navy, Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, or Marines as teams. In fact they all are, and they have a great deal in common as teams. However, for the
The ceremony was simple. They spoke the old-fashioned, traditional wedding vows, and Pastor Luke’s sermon was inspiring. At the appropriate moment, Joe tipped up his wife’s chin and planted a chaste kiss on her lips. Lisa almost giggled at the expressions on the faces of the guests, who had expected a more passionate clinch. “We’re not putting on an exhibition!” Joe had been adamant. “My brother Sam and his wife, Hannah, did the ‘never kissed before’ thing at their wedding, and it was embarrassing
Decision Making Strategy By examining the Baker’s Dozen list, I identified greatly with Last Minute Louie, Mia Fraid, Saint Peter Perfectus, Pollyanna A. Peazer, and Ver (“Sis”) Tematic. Through this it clear that that I make last minute decisions, I delay my decisions due to fear, I try to make the perfect decision, I try to please others with my decisions, and I consider the pros and cons of each alternative. One style I found myself not relating to at all was Willy Nilly. I do not let other people

Comparing John Milton’s Paradise Lost to Pleasantville I don’t know if I connected the experiential dots with any dexterity regarding John Milton’s Paradise Lost until I visited Disney World recently. It wasn’t until Mickey Mouse, Cinderella, Cruella De Vil, Jafar the evil sorcerer, the Beauty, and the Beast came down Main Street, U.S.A. that I was more able to appreciate the prodigiousness of the procreative masque within Paradise Lost. Panorama grabs the viewer; and, with a mere touch of
After four hard years of fighting, Canadians celebrated the end of the Great War. Many returned to the country early in 1919, only to be brought down by the lack of employment and other disappointments. However, slowly, good times returned back to Canada, as the country ushered into a new era known as the “Roaring Twenties”. Many Canadians participated in the good life as the wealthy, as well as average families had more money to spend. Economic prosperity and technological advances brought Canadians
reformer) and Gus (the black soldier), who are portrayed as scheming and lustful. This lopsided depiction of human nature is not realistic, as humans cannot be either wholly good or wholly evil. This is an example of idealism with clear influences from Pollyanna stories, which was well accepted by the audience then. Thus a realistic depiction of humans should be that of portraying their strengths and weaknesses. The characters in Von Stroheim's Greed, on the other hand, possess this practical depiction of

“TEOTWAWKI”, which is often pronounced “tee-ought-walk-ee”. “TEOTWAWKI” stands for the end of the world as we know it. This is what survivalists spend their days preparing for. Preppers refer to a person who is in denial that “TEOTWAWKI” could occur as a “Pollyanna”. Survivalists tend to have a plan in place to prepare for much of anything, which is where “alpha strategy” comes into play. “Alpha strategy” for survivalists, is storing extra logistics as a hedge against inflation, and for use in barter and charity
Niccolo Machiavelli, one of the great political minds of the 15th century, accomplished what many mathematicians today only dream of, having one’s name used as an adjective. To be Machiavellian is to demonstrate characteristics of expediency, deceit, and cunning and as Machiavelli wrote in, The Prince, these are the qualities of a great leader. The Prince was published in 1531, creating great controversy with other political thinkers of the time. Machiavelli completely ignored the popular religious
Identity in The Bell Jar A sense of individuality is essential for surviving the numerous emotional and physical obstacles encountered in daily life. A unique identity is perhaps one of the only true characteristics that defines an individual and is definitely a key principle for understanding and responding to one's atmosphere.

Throughout The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath explores a number of themes, particularly regarding the gender roles, and subsequently, the mental health care system for women. Her 19-year-old protagonist, Esther Greenwood, is the vessel through which Plath poses many probing questions about these topics to the reader. In the 1950s when the novel was set, women were held to a high standard: to be attractive but pure, intelligent but submissive, and to generally accept the notion of bettering oneself only in
Adolescence is filled with confusion, struggle, existential crises and questions; a time of transition that defines our future identity. Published in the 1950s and 1960s respectively, The Catcher in the Rye and The Bell Jar sparked controversy with their themes of sexuality, mental illness, commentary on culture, and their reflection of adolescence. Their protagonists seventeen year-old Holden Caulfield and nineteen year-old Esther Greenwood both undergo severe breakdowns in adolescence, causing
structure; they found it very difficult to return. They found themselves expected to settle down into the humdrum routine of American life as if nothing had happened, to accept the moral dicta of elders who seemed to them still to be living in a Pollyanna land of rosy ideals which the war had killed for them. They couldn't do it, and they very disrespectfully said so.2 Women were just as anxious as the men to avoid returning to society's rules and roles after the war. In the age of the Gibson Girl
