| | The Female Community Found in American Literature Between the Wars, 1914 - 1945 | | by melmcgburson, Jan 5, 2009 | | How does literature create a female community and what is the significance of that community? How do the writings of Willa Cather, Zora Neale Hurston, and Edna St. Vincent Millay create a community for the writers and the readers? The bonds that are created from the written word, especially in a historical and social context, can connect readers of varying backgrounds. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 2 |

 | | Themes of Kidnapped | | by Christopher Smith, Dec 2, 2008 | | The theme of a book is the underlying statement being told by the author. Many scholars have studied books and have come up with main themes for books. Though these are good themes, the better are still waiting to be found. Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson follows this path exactly. | | Comments(0) Liked It: 4 |
