Hans Christian Andersen
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page essay on Andersen. The fairy tales of Hans Christian Andersen were never meant to be read solely by children. The fact that Andersen's style frequently disguises a sophisticated moral message suggests that he also intended these stories to speak to adults. One of Andersen's best-known tales is "The Emperor's New Clothes," which focuses on the superficiality of pretense. A close examination of this story and Andersen's life suggests that "The Emperor's New Clothes" tells the reader something about the way that Andersen perceived himself and his work.

Henrik Ibsen: Hedda Gabler (1890)
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) Tragedies in theater allow us to look at ourselves differently as we experience the visual tragedy of someone on the stage in front of us. In Ibsen's play Hedda Gabler, there is supposedly no one meaner than Hedda herself; the saddest part of this tragedy is that she is as mean to herself, if not more so, than she is to any one else. The personality of this main character is revealed through the dialogue of the play.

Hosseini/The Kite Runner
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page book review. Khaled Hosseini, a native of Afghanistan, paints a poignant picture of friendship and bigotry in his novel The Kite Runner. A best-selling first novel, it is also the first novel to be written in English by an Afghan (Noor 148). It is the story of two boys, Amir, the privileged Pashtun, and Hassan, a Hazara servant. While Amir considers Hassan to be his friend, and the boys have virtually been raised together, Amir consistently takes advantage of that friendship throughout his childhood, playing cruel jokes on Hassan and basing this presumption on their difference in status. However, in later life, the fate of his friend comes to haunt him, causing Amir to return to Afghanistan in order to redeem his own and his father's sins. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
