  • Reading Response Questions
    READING RESPONSE QUESTIONS You are expected to answer all the questions for each play or novel. For the “Personal Reactions” question, you do not have to answer all the sub-questions given; you may share your thoughts and reactions instead. Always include proof for your opinions and arguments by defending your position with quotes form the work; of course, reference with page numbers (78). This does not apply to “Personal Reactions.” Since journal writing is informal, you may use first person, but avoid second person; of course, I do expect your best writing with good paragraph formation and clarity. A Doll’s House by Henrik IBsen: Due June 29 (Saturday) 1. Personal Reactions: Do you think that society today conditions young women to accept a doll-like existence? Consider fashion, media influence, gender expectations . Predict what life will be like for Nora or Torvald in ten years. 2. Notice the pet names that Torvald calls Nora. Give examples and analyze why he calls her these names. 3. Torvald gets a pretty bad rap most of the time because Ibsen created Torvald to represent a typical Victorian male. Given Torvald, what would you consider the top three characteristics of a Victorian male? How does Ibsen use irony (mostly seen through Torvald’s hypocrisy) to portray his criticism of the traditional Victorian male gender role? 4. Nora is under the illusion that her husband is a knight in shining armor willing to perform the “greatest miracle” (93, 112) if need be. When he doesn’t, her world falls apart. What did Nora expect Torvald to do once he learned of her secret? That Torvald failed to be Nora’s hero propels Nora into fully realizing her doll-like existence.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY & INTRODUCTION In 2005, under the leadership of Supervisor Sophie Maxwell, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors established the Back Streets Businesses Advisory Board. The Advisory Board had three objectives: • To analyze the needs of Back Streets Businesses; • To analyze the policies and programs of San Francisco and other cities designed to assist Back Streets businesses; and • To provide recommendations to assist the City in retaining and expanding Back Streets Businesses and the jobs they create. The nine public appointees and five City agency representatives making up the Advisory Board spent 18 months interviewing Back Streets Business owners and employees, reviewing the best practices of other jurisdictions, and reviewing the role and impact of Back Streets Businesses in San Francisco’s economy.

  • San Francisco Travel Guide | Undercover Tourist
    Florida California H O P D O W N TO SEE ALL CITIES San Francisco City Guide Overview Ready for a vacation full of rich history, unique architecture, gorgeous views and food and wine fit for froggy royalty? Look no further than San Francisco! With its picturesque bay, hilly landscape and breathtaking, rolling fog, San Francisco got its start as a Spanish mission and pueblo before being conquered by the U.S. in 1846. In 1848, upon prospectors discovering gold, the Gold Rush kicked in, giving San Francisco the nickname “The Golden City.” The Gold Rush resulted in a population boom, but the 1906 earthquake and subsequent fire largely destroyed the city. Upon rebuilding, the city became a center of wealth, progressive culture and technology. In San Francisco, you’ll find a unique mixture of historic elements, such as Alcatraz, the iconic Painted Ladies and cable cars. You’ll also find a celebration of culture in the variety of museums, shops and landmarks such as Chinatown. And we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention all of the delicious food and drink awaiting you on your trip! Wrap it all up in unforgettable scenery, and you get a family vacation for the books. Best Time to Visit San Francisco’s infamous fog makes visits in the summer a bit chillier than you’d expect. Instead, the months of September through November are actually warmer than the summer months, with temperatures in the low 70s and mostly sunny skies, making ideal conditions for a visit. What We Love Free admission at many of the city’s attractions, including indoor murals, the Cable

  • Henry James and Romantic Revisionism: the Quest for the Man of Imagination in the Late Work
    HENRY JAMES AND ROMANTIC REVISIONISM: THE QUEST FOR THE MAN OF IMAGINATION IN THE LATE WORK A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (OF ENGLISH ) By Daniel Rosenberg Nutters May 2017 Examining Committee Members: Daniel T. O’Hara, Advisory Chair, English Alan Singer, English Steve Newman, English Robert L. Caserio, External Member, Pennsylvania State University Jonathan Arac, External Member, University of Pittsburgh © Copyright 2017 by Daniel Rosenberg Nutters All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT This study situates the late work of Henry James in the tradition of Romantic revisionism. In addition, it surveys the history of James criticism alongside the academic critique of Romantic-aesthetic ideology. I read The American Scene, the New York Edition Prefaces, and other late writings as a single text in which we see James refashion an identity by transforming the divisions or splits in the modern subject into the enabling condition for renewed creativity. In contrast to the Modernist myth of Henry James the master reproached by recent scholarship, I offer a new critical fiction – what James calls the man of imagination – that models a form of selfhood which views our ironic and belated condition as a fecund limitation. The Jamesian man of imagination encourages the continual (but never resolvable) quest for a coherent creative identity by demonstrating how our need to sacrifice elements of life (e.g. desires and aspirations) when we confront tyrannical circumstances can become a prerequisite for pursuing an unreachable ideal. This study draws on the work of post-war Romantic revisionist scholarship (e.g.
