Mann's Man Of Straw
[ send me this paper ]
A history book will tell the reader about the rise of nationalism in the Kaiserreich as a prelude to the rampant anti-Semitism of the post World War I era. These are just words that have a two dimensional meaning: time and place. If people, or the social atmosphere of both individuals and movements, is added, the depth of understanding increases as the reader incorporates the pieces of human nature that they see as part of themselves. This 7 page paper asserts that Heinrich Mann's Man Of Straw utilizes the development of one character: Diederich Hessling, to reflect the society in which he lived, enabling the reader insights not available through conventional histiography. No additional sources are listed.

"Galileo's Daughter" By Dava Sobel
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The relationship that existed between Galileo and his daughter Virginia, later renamed Suor Maria Celeste after entering a convent at age 13, was unlike most other father/daughter alliances, inasmuch as both individuals drew their very strength of spiritual and mortal existence from the other to the exclusion of virtually all others. The extent to which Galileo treasured the eldest of his three illegitimate children is eloquently captured in Dava Sobel's Galileo's Daughter, a profound and touching account of social expectations and personal triumphs that helped to connect both Galileo and Maria Celeste for life. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
