[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses Chinua Achebe’s 1958 novel about a village in pre-colonial Nigeria.

Daisy and Nora
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page essay that discusses two of the most famous female characters in literature, Daisy Buchanan from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby and Nora Helmer from Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House. While dissimilar in their fundamental character and motivation, both of these women are victims of the heritage of patriarchy, which has historically been the defining factor in gender relations in Western society. In general, readers and critics tend to idealize Nora and despise Daisy; however, a close reading of both works suggests that these women share innumerable similarities, and these similarities underscore the fact that they are both victims. Bibliography lists 3 sources, but a supporting source citation is incomplete.
