Cisneros/”Loose Woman”
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page explication of the poem “Loose Woman,” Sandra Cisneros, which turns a societal signifier of patriarchy completely around and uses it as a declaration of female empowerment. Under the patriarchal sexual double standard, a “loose woman” has traditionally indicated a woman of poor reputation, that is, a woman who has been “loose” in her sexual behavior. In the past, this societal pronouncement has meant ostracism and social censure for the woman on whom such a judgment was collectively given by a community. Cisneros reinterprets and redefines what it means to be a “loose woman” by, first of all, redefining an appropriate reaction, and then redefining the term itself.

Comparing Blake's "Lamb" to Dickinson's "I heard a Fly buzz"
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page essay that contrasts and compares these 2 poems. While William Blake, the eighteenth century British poet, and Emily Dickinson, the nineteenth century American poet, obliquely address the topic of the afterlife in their poems "The Lamb" and "I heard a Fly buzz—when I died—," the perspectives of these two great poets are diametrically opposed. As this suggests these poems are very different. They differ not only in regards to each poet's preference in regards to style, format, rhyme, rhythm, imagery, etc., but they also differ profoundly in the way in which these poets present their religious orientation. This paper is outlined in khcbadp1.rtf. No additional sources cited.
