Jonathan Swift’s “Gulliver’s Travels”
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) and his most famous work, “Gulliver’s Travels.” It is the many distortions -- size, attitude, beliefs, actions -- that serve as the greatest insight into Swift’s story and the realm in which he presents the most thought-provoking of contrasts. For example, the differences that exist in the size of the Lilliputians, the Brobdingnag, and Gulliver all have a relevant significance to the larger (pun intended) story. No secondary sources.

Love and Time in Three Poems of William Butler Yeats
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the poetry of William Butler Yeats with a primary focus on “Adam’s Curse.” In the vast majority of Yeats’ love poetry he is able to separate a clearly personal experience and emphasize its greater universality in terms of shared emotion and a tone of melancholy awareness that transfixes most people at some point in the midst of their greater experience of love. “Adam’s Curse” is not unique in its ability to express those broad and often disturbing visions of the experience of love and loss. Many of Yeats’ love poems also convey such sentiments and “Never Give All the Heart” and “O Do not Love too Long” are also examined. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
