  • The Secret Of Sarah Revere

    104 Words  | 1 Pages

    The book “The Secret of Sarah Revere” is a very interesting book. I like the arguments that Grandmother and Rachel have because it make the book very interesting. I also like the fact that Paul, Sarah’s father, does not have a care in the world. He does not care about the arguments, he does not care about what people are saying about him, and he really does not care if Sarah thinks that Doctor Warren and Rachel are just friends. When he does not care it really means that he just doesn’t know or realize this is happening.

Memoirs and other pieces of literature written from memory suffer from these easily modified memories and can’t always be trusted to be true.

    In “Lanval” by Marie de France, Lanval is a hero, though parts of his journey are sometimes hard to identify as herioc. Lanval’s story follows the basic elements of the monomyth, or Hero’s Journey, when read closely. He begins his journey in a vaguely unsatisfying ordinary world where he is unappreciated and where “he could see nothing that pleased him” (52). Leaving that world, he enters into the world of Queen Semiramis, wherein he is not only beloved of the Queen but assured that “he would never again want anything / he would receive as he desired” (135-36). When Lanval is challenged by his Lady “if this love were known / you would never see me again”, he accepts his quest readily (148-49).

In Candide, the experiences of Cunegonde, Paquette and the Old Woman show the attitude of society towards women in the eighteenth century. They strongly refer to how badly women were treated at that time.

While the dress was very frilled and had lace adorning and accessorizing every edge, it was still very form-fitting in all of the right places. Keeping in touch with modern fashion she also had worn a fitting corset that was there mostly for appearances and aesthetic rather than to squeeze in any undesirable curves.
