[ send me this paper ]
11 pages in length. When one thinks about alcoholism, one does not immediately associate this disease with women; however, insobriety does not discriminate when it comes to gender. It is not fully known whether the prevalence of women alcoholics has increased over the past thirty years or if the statistics reflect a decidedly higher number coming forward for treatment. No matter the reason, preponderance of female drinkers has mandated the intervention of local, state and federal programs as a means by which to address the significant problem.

Anne Sexton: Cinderella.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) At a turning point in art history, Marcel Duchamp turned a porcelain urinal, upside down and hung it on the wall, labeling it art, after he signed it "R. Mutt." The supposed sophisticated community at large took that to mean - "whatever I say is art, is art." The same argument could be made for a poet. If the poet claims it, a poem. Is it then a poem or does it have to follow certain structure, form or meaning to get that title? In this discussion we will examine the poem, Cinderella by Anne Sexton, within two categories, meaning and mechanics of, and see how it stands on its own.
