Wharton Knowledge For Action Essays

What minority groups experience is a vicious cycle of poverty and economic disadvantage, which in turn affect their job acquisition, training, and orientation (Wharton 146).Viewed in broad sense, but within perspectives provided by Amy S. Wharton in the book titled, ‘working in America: Continuity, conflict and change’, women are perceived to be victims of economic bias due to dominance of men (Wharton 101).Nevertheless, the emergence of capitalism has defined and, to great extent, modified activities of unions as shifts and changes in membership become an issue (Wharton p.106).William Julius observes that the consequences of changing income inequalities in the American workplace is leading to massive unemployment among many people, spec...

"'They don't much count, do they?Upon employment, Hartley discovers for herself that "Mrs. Brympton [is] the kindest of ladies" (Wharton 15).Even Mrs. Railton, who mentions the job offer to Hartley, asserts that "[Mrs. Brympton] wants a maid that can be something of a companion" (Wharton 13).': The Unfinished History of The Turn of the Screw.""The Lady's Maid's Bell."

The closeness and intensity of their relationship is perhaps understated – depicted in the language of the environment rather than through eloquent dialogue.Wharton often plays upon Ethan’s lack of eloquence to show the difficulty he has in expressing his emotions.Wharton uses the environment as the meeting point for the lovers’ ‘wonder’ – looking up to the stars (an image often synonymous with dreams and hope) or across the fields.Mattie’s description of the landscape looking as it had been painted strikes a deep chord within Ethan and he feels that Mattie is able to articulate ‘his secret soul’.Wharton suggests that Mattie and Ethan are closely (and perhaps idealistically) suited to each other – she describes their walks as a ‘communio...

Indeed, as a story fixed in rural Masachusetts, a town entirely of its own character and yet anonymous enough to serve as any town, Ethan Frome emblematizes an entire country in flux: between social changes, torn between the past and present, and adjusting at the turn of the century.While the narrator might be observing Frome, the distance create... ... middle of paper ... ... outdated, incompatible system.As vestiges of antiquity remain in this small town, the threat of a new, more competitive economy always lurks on its outskirts.The narrative ultimately betrays itself through its inevitable methodology of meaning-making and falls back on a globalized apparatus in the same way that Frome himself does.For Wharton, an American integrity ...

She is perennially one of the “critics on the fence”, never able to achieve the life of social class that she so desires (Wharton 70).To an extent, Wharton shows that it is impossible to change one’s social status.American realism sets Wharton apart from writers like Austen.The conversation shared by Lily and Selden exemplifies such a stance; Lily, who spends her adult life trying to break her way into circles of the elite, dies a woman who never realizes her life’s aim.Wharton presents the conversation in the aforementioned context so that it the true intentions, feelings, and opinions of Lily and Selden can emerge.

It is ironic that a blinding snowstorm forces The Narrator to take shelter in the Frome farmhouse — it opens his eyes to Ethan’s story.Wharton uses battle imagery to describe the way winter conquers Starkfield.As a result of that, the breaking off of the narration just before the door opens increases the suspense and prepares the reader for The Narrator entering the farmhouse in the culmination of the tragedy in the epilogue.Wharton provides minimal information about Ethan.Wharton suggests that The Narrator is the kind of man Ethan might have become if he had not become trapped in his marriage.

What is evident from the first frame, just like it is evident in the beginning of the novel by Wharton, is that Lily is a human being who just does not fit in this world.” (Wharton, p. 35) To keep herself buoyant economically, Lily is desperately in need of a husband, but she is disastrous in finding one due to the fact that, deep down, she knows she does not want one.In the lessening action, when Lily Bart has been evicted from the society that has prearranged her values, Wharton shows that Lily Bart is not ready to become accustomed to a dissimilar way of life.Edith Wharton plots The House of Mirth on a sequence of meetings set in vibrantly distinct social settings.Nevertheless her game playing, as Wharton has written and as Anderson p...

This makes film a medium congenial to the artistic concerns of Wharton (who was not particularly positive to film), because her work is very visual and multi-layered – “both imaginistic and verbal”.The adaptation of this work was particularly challenging because of the aspect of being multi-layered and it was difficult to translate one medium to another.She wrote with the enclyclopedic knowledge of an insider with the accuracy and selective power of a fine novelist and the detachment of a highly intelligent social and historical observer.The hypocrisy demonstrated by so many characters in the book, not least by the character of society, leads one to believe that Wharton must have had a facetious undertone when giving the title of the boo...

However, during Newland’s first visit to Ellen Olenska’s home, he gives her a bouquet of yellow roses which the protagonist’s thought “there was something too rich, too strong, in their fiery beauty.” (Wharton, 1918:65) as “he had never seen any as sun-golden before” (Wharton, 1918:65) thus Wharton, suggests that like flowers reflects on the receiver’s personality and therefore the yellow flowers symbolise jealousy, infidelity and exoticism.(Wharton, 1918:42) Their seal of approval is needed to gain social acceptability, shown when their invitation to Ellen allows her to enter New York society as they delivered her an envelope that “contained a card inviting the Countess Olenska to the dinner” (Wharton, 1918:7).(Wharton, 1918:290) He is ...

For Wharton, these desires aren’t about love necessarily but about being touched and gaining experience and not being lonely as Ethan seems to be.This is how Wharton writes, with patches of reality mixed with cerebral counterparts.It is in postmodern feminism style that Wharton writes.Wharton works her writing style in metaphor.Wharton doesn’t focus on the complete picture but the experience and emotional narration of the character’s experiences.

After building up sufficient desire, Wharton finally satisfies the readers’ curiosity by shifting the point of view to allow them access to Gannett’s thoughts.If Wharton had chosen to tell the story in first person, from Lydia’s point of view, the narrative would be clearly subjective.The narrative still does not describe exactly what Gannett is thinking; it only describes Gannett’s action, then makes a general statement which may or may not apply to Gannett specifically.Wharton builds on this suspense by suggesting that Lydia does know Gannett well enough to know his mind, or, at least, that Lydia thinks she knows Gannett well enough to know: “now that he and she were alone she knew exactly what was passing through his mind; she could a...

The van der Luydens are “mouth pieces of some remote ancestral authority which fate compelled them to wield.” Wharton subtly hints that there is something primitive about the van der Luydens’ influence over society and that their power is due more to wealth and bloodline than to their capability and temperament.Wharton makes her depiction of the van der Luydens ironic by several different means.It is also they who judge the severity of the offense against Ellen Olenska; Wharton describes them as the “Court of last appeals.” And finally, it is they who decide that action must be taken to amend for the insult... Wharton commences Chapter 7 with a detailed account of the nature of the power structure and chain of command within the tight-k...

Wharton describes the moment when “her wonder and his laughter ran together like spring rills in a thaw.” The dead cucumber vine at the Frome farmhouse looks “like the crape streamer tied to the door for a death.” And, when Zeena tells Ethan that she should have sent Mattie away long ago because people were “talking,” the effect of her comment on Ethan is “like a knife-cut across the sinews.Throughout the novel, Wharton builds up patterns of imagery, patterns of behavior, and specially charged words; all of which serve a definite stylistic and structural purpose.The figurative language used by Wharton includes metaphors and similes.For example, in the beginning of the novel, Wharton gives readers the feeling of the bitterness and hardnes...

An article titled Critical Reception and Cultural Capital: Edith Wharton as a Short Story Writer, authored by Gary Totten begins with a brief comment on the undervaluing of Wharton by critics and proceeds to write about the crime this is.This 1998 volume includes the great masters of the New York authorial world, and it is notable that Edith Wharton was included.These American authors would be called the Lost Generation because of this aspect of society that Wharton had already exposed.A study would be remiss if it did not find the connections of Edith Wharton to her more closely related contemporaries.The authors of 1920 would come to emulate Edith Wharton.

The later psychological novel par excellence in French is Le Rouge et le Noir by Stendhal.The modern psychological novel, according to the Encyclopedia of the Novel, has its origins in the works of the Norwegian Nobel laureate Knut Hamsun, in particular La Faim (1890), Mystères (1892), Pan (1894) and Victoria (1898).La Princesse de Clèves by Madame de La Fayette (17th century) is considered to be the first novel precursor of the psychological novel.Another example is Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes (1605).In Western literature, the origins of the psychological novel can be traced back to Fiammetta, written in 1344 by Giovanni Boccaccio; that is, before we invent the term "psychology".

“It was a shy secret spot, full of the same dumb melancholy that Ethan felt in his heart” (Wharton, 152).Everybody but you could see it’” (Wharton, 109).“On the way over to the wood-lot one of the greys slipped on a glare of ice and cut his knee… Then when the loading finally began, a sleety rain was coming down once more, and the tree trunks were so slippery that it took twice as long as usual to lift them and them in place on the sledge” (Wharton, 100).‘I hope that’s not so, Zeena,’ he said” (Wharton, 108).Perhaps Zeena had failed to see the new doctor or had not liked his counsels: Ethan knew that in such cases the first person she met was likely to be held responsible for her grievence” (Wharton, 105).

Later in this novel, Wharton figuratively described the feeling that Newland cast for Ellen is not infatuation, thus, this indicates that Ellen is not an object of possession, and Wharton defies the stereotype amazingly by proving that rather than being a typical woman accustomed to discrimination, a woman can take reign over a man’s heart without losing his respect, and women are not meant to be deprived.From the dialogue, Edith Wharton had made the point that only the custom forbids the act of divorce while it is actually legally appropriate to be done.From this excerpt anyway, Wharton uses the term ‘black sheep’ to indicate the family members that could bring humiliation to the Mingott.Moreover, Newland Archer’s character appears at e...

Wharton, D. (2014, February 22).Medal game is often a mental one at the Olympics.Los Angeles Times.According to Wharton, most athletes are happier with a bronze medal rather than a silver medal (2014).If we take a look at American gymnast McKayla Maroney in the 2012 Olympic games, she came in second place because she fell on her vault and her smirk of dissatisfaction has now gone viral (Wharton, 2014).

Edith Wharton has an accurate portral of the life of the upper caste in New York of the early 1900s.Although Wharton makes Ellen Olenska her ideals of freedom¼Œbut in general, she sees the problems in what the society has offered, but when it comes to another option, the question remains.For Edith Wharton, as an individual, she has put efforts to adapt herself to contemporary life and at the same time to try figuring out changes of the society that are going on around her, and this ambiguity is quite natural.While other feminists struggled to find ways out of limitations that offered by the old world, Wharton was skeptical about the belief that there was an actual exit.(Chen,2006) In The Age of Innocence Edith Wharton puts opposite optio...

” (Wharton, 1911).Wharton, Edith.The novel of Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton is a story within a story because the narrator is detached from the actual events that happen to Ethan Frome and the members of his household.I had this from Harmon Gow,” (Wharton, 1911).The story starts out more than twenty years after the incidents of the “smash-up” which makes the exposition rather, anti-climactic, as Wharton explains in her notes, since it is already partially revealed what would become of the characters.

(Feldman, 2001; Dutta and Regani, 2003) .In a bid to reduce cost, Southwest won’t allocate seats to customers but JetBlue does so and this particular move has endeared JetBlue to the customers (Wharton, 2006).That approach motivated JetBlue to acquire smaller airplanes that will serve markets with less competition (Feldman, 2001; Wharton, 2006).David Barger, believes that despite the inefficiencies of smaller airplanes, it allows JetBlue to exploit markets that Southwest and other low-cost carriers were not in (Tahmincioglu, 2005; Wharton, 2006).Organisational structure is seen as a tool or model which is used to transmit knowledge, culture, and organisational processes within the hierarchy of an organisation.
