    682 words
    East Versus West Early in my nursing career, I had the opportunity to work under two extremely different charge nurses. Dolly "West" and Betty "East" as they were jokingly called, ruled the third floor for over twenty-five years. Both ladies are retired now and, I understand, immensely happy to be relieved of their duties and responsibilities. I would venture a guess that this is the first time they have ever agreed on anything. Betty was a strict, no-nonsense commander, who ruled her department...

    Crane's Use of Ironic Symbolism in "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky" Stephen Crane's "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky", as well as his other Western stories, owe much to Mark Twain's approach to the West.

  • Eyes True Symbolic Meaning

    Symbolism is what makes a story complete. In 'The Great Gatsby' Fitzgerald cleverly uses symbolism. Virtually anything in the novel can be taken as a symbol, from the weather, to the colors of clothing the characters wear. There are three main symbols used in The Great Gatsby, they are The East and West Egg, the green light at the end of Daisy's dock, and the eyes of Dr. T.J. Eckleburg. One of the most important symbols in the novel is class and social standing. It is like a barrier for almost e...

Indeed what may seem to be good from one perspective may be seen as the complete opposite from another. Case in point: Western Feminism.
