  • The New Woman in the Sun Also Rises
    www.ccsenet.org/elt English Language Teaching Vol. 3, No. 3; September 2010 The New Woman in The Sun Also Rises Xiaoping Yu College of Foreign Languages, Qingdao University of Science and Technology Qingdao, 266061 Abstract Hemingway is a famous American writer and a spokesman of the Lost Generation. His life attitude of the characters in the novels influenced the whole world. His first masterpiece The Sun Also Rises contributes a lot to the rise of feminism and make the world began to befamiliar with a term: The New Woman through the portrayl of Brett. This paper is aimed to target the source and traits of The New Woman. Keywords: The Lost Generation, The New Woman, Brett 1. General Introduction of Hemingway’s Lifetime and His Works Ernest Hemingway was born in Oak Park, Illinois, in 1899. And he began his writing career in the Kansas City in 1917. He went there and served as an eager and energetic reporter, and was later recruited as an ambulance driver working with the Red Cross and went to Europe. This led to the crucial event of his life. On July 8, 1918 he was severely wounded in the knee in Italy. He recovered in time and remained with the Italian army until the end of the war. His war experience proved so shattering and nightmarish that his life and writings were permanently affected. In a sense, through all his life, he lived under the influence, and continued to write about it in order to relive it and forget about it. Back to the United States, He stayed for a time in North Michigan, reading, writing, and fishing.

  • The Legacy of Romantic Love in the Great Gatsby and the Sun Also Rises
    ANTONIN, CLAUDINE. The Legacy of Romantic Love in The Great Gatsby and The Sun Also Rises. (1970) Directed by: Dr. Robert O. Stephens. pp. 68 The purpose of this paper is to study The Great Gatsby and The Sun Also Rises in the light of Denis de Rougemont's conception of Courtly Love, showing how the two novels manifest the persistency of the Tristan Myth, as well as the process of degradation it has undergone. Both works are closely related, in time, in theme and in narrative technique. Both are a critique of Romanticism and refer constantly to the Courtly tradition. Very few critics, however, have made a connection between them, and no parallel study of the Romantic theme has yet been done. Using a close reading of the texts and available critical commentary, this paper points out the numerous affinities between the Courtly Myth and Hemingway's and Fitzgerald's characters, their relationships and their worlds. Finally I discuss the main reasons for the failure of the Myth in its modern context. The main difference between the pictures of Romanti- cism that we find in Fitzgerald and Hemingway lies in the value which is given to the vision of the idealistic charac- ter. Fitzgerald is sympathetic to his romantic lover, 1 whereas Hemingway shuts all the magic out of the Romantic 1 dream. The similarities in theme and contrast in point of view suggest that The Sun Also Rises has been partly written as an ironical counterpoint to The Great Gatsbv. THE LEGACY OF ROMANTIC LOVE IN THE GREAT GATSBY AND THE SUN ALSO RISES by Claudine Antonin A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts Greensboro June, 1970 Approved by Thesis Adviser APPROVAL SHEET This thesis has been approved by the following committee of the Faculty of the Graduate School at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

This is necessary not so much because a marxist interpretation of Hemingway's realism is wrong or even frankly unsympath.etic,- but because the aesthetic stand­ point it is obliged to take forces one into an oversimple view of Hemingway's work. This passage from Ernst· Fischer's book, The Necessity of Art: A Marxist Approach, is typical of much marxist criticism in its casual assumptions and superimposed generalizations. It reads Ernest Hemingway, Gertrude stein's successful disciple, discloses the technique of this flight from reality particularly clearly in his fifteen early stories called In Our Time.

  • AP Lit Summer Reading Students Will Choose 1 Book from the Following List to Read Over the Summer
    AP Lit Summer Reading Students will choose 1 book from the following list to read over the summer. Those books with an asterisk are available from the school, and you can check them out from Ms. Tang, room 605. Should you choose a book without an asterisk, you will be responsible for providing it yourself. One of the benefits of this new choice in summer reading is that you will have a voice in your own education. The theory goes that if you are reading something that you have some degree of interest in, you will have better ideas about the theme, and will get more out of it. Of course, this only works if you choose something that you have some interest in. If you have no interest in anything, this might not be the right class for you. At that point you should look into taking a class by Mr. Leffler; his classes are devoid of any sort of interest whatsoever. 1. Jane Eyre* by Charlotte Bronte 2. In Our Time* by Ernest Hemingway 3.

Our books engage theory without losing touch with history and work historically without falling into uncritical positivism. FlashPoints aims for a broad audience within the humanities and the social sciences concerned with moments of cultural emergence and transformation. In a Benjaminian mode, FlashPoints is interested in how liter- ature contributes to forming new constellations of culture and history and in how such formations function critically and politically in the present.

  • The Sun Also Rises As Ironic Cultural Critique
    "Working for the Common Good": The Sun Also Rises as Ironic Cultural Critique Senior Paper Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For a Degree Bachelor of Arts with A Major in Literature at The University of North Carolina at Asheville Fall 2007 By PA UL PENDERGRAFT Thesis Director DEE JAMES Thesis Advisor BLAKE HOBBY Pendergraft 1 Paul Oren Michael Pendergraft Dr. James, Senior Seminar Director Dr. Hobby, Thesis Advisor 4 December 2007 "Working for the Common Good": The Sun Also Rises as Ironic Cultural Critique Near the beginning of The Sun Also Rises, Jake Barnes, the novel's narrator and protagonist, and his friend Brett Ashley see a black musician at a jazz club. Jake refers to the man as a "nigger drummer," describing him as "all teeth and lips" and having a childish voice (63). Thus, in two sentences, he performs what will be a ritualistic action in the novel, the reduction of the ethnic other to a simple caricature. It would be too easy to dismiss Jake's language and perspective as indicative of the dominant perspective held by white society during the 19205; this does not account for the unique flaws in Barnes. While Hemingway's largely white audience may have internalized perspectives of white privilege as normative, the narrative does not necessarily endorse this perspective. In fact, Jake's ironic, free indirect discourse often causes the reader to question his perspective, values, and actions. Here it would be na'ive to claim that Hemingway was following a social agenda that pre-dated the Civil Rights Movement, and it is difficult to attribute Hemingway's intentions, especially in a novel that functions in an ironical mode with a single, unreliable narrator.
