Download or read book The Gay Test written by Mistress Dede and published by Mistress Dede. This book was released on 2015-01-29 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you know whether you are gay or not? In fact, how can anyone know whether they are homosexual or heterosexual or bisexual?If this is the question that's bothering you, the first thing that you need to do is let go off the stereotypes. Just because you are not as macho as your college football captain does not mean that you are gay. In fact, you could actually be the captain of your football team and be a homosexual rather than a heterosexual. This basically means that gay men do not look different from your "normal" heterosexual male. They are not necessarily more feminine than straight men and they may be as interested in dressing up like a regular male. So, maybe someone just mentioned it to you that you may be gay. Or maybe someone just suggested that you have "too feminine" tastes, implying that you may be gay. This probably confused you and you wanted to just check out whether you are indeed gay. Don't you worry; this quiz will surely help you. But before we do begin with the quiz, here is one thing that you should keep in mind. The stereotypes that you or your friends have about gays are probably all incorrect. You are not gay because you are good at keeping your house clean, or you are good at picking up the right clothes, or because you dress up neatly. You are gay because you are physically and sexually attracted to men and not women. You are gay because you form strong lasting emotional sexual bonds with men and not women. You are gay because you have a strong inclination towards getting intimate with men than women. You fantasize more about getting sexually involved with men rather than women. In short, do not use the common stereotypes that society has taught you about gays to determine your sexual orientation. Instead, this should depend on the physical and sexual attraction you feel for same sex individuals. So, are you more sexually attracted to men than women? This is the question that you should ask yourself. Still confused? Take The Gay Test and find out the truth.

Download or read book Was Huck Black written by Shelley Fisher Fishkin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1994-05-05 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1884, Huck Finn has become one of the most widely taught novels in American curricula. But where did Huckleberry Finn come from, and what made it so distinctive? Shelley Fisher Fishkin suggests that in Huckleberry Finn, more than in any other work, Mark Twain let African-American voices, language, and rhetorical traditions play a major role in the creation of his art. In Was Huck Black?, Fishkin combines close readings of published and unpublished writing by Twain with intensive biographical and historical research and insights gleaned from linguistics, literary theory, and folklore to shed new light on the role African-American speech played in the genesis of Huckleberry Finn. Given that book's importance in American culture, her analysis illuminates, as well, how the voices of African-Americans have shaped our sense of what is distinctively "American" about American literature. Fishkin shows that Mark Twain was surrounded, throughout his life, by richly talented African-American speakers whose rhetorical gifts Twain admired candidly and profusely. A black child named Jimmy whom Twain called "the most artless, sociable and exhaustless talker I ever came across" helped Twain understand the potential of a vernacular narrator in the years before he began writing Huckleberry Finn, and served as a model for the voice with which Twain would transform American literature. A slave named Jerry whom Twain referred to as an "impudent and satirical and delightful young black man" taught Twain about "signifying"--satire in an African-American vein--when Twain was a teenager (later Twain would recall that he thought him "the greatest man in the United States" at the time). Other African-American voices left their mark on Twain's imagination as well--but their role in the creation of his art has never been recognized. Was Huck Black? adds a new dimension to current debates over multiculturalism and the canon. American literary historians have told a largely segregated story: white writers come from white literary ancestors, black writers from black ones. The truth is more complicated and more interesting. While African-American culture shaped Huckleberry Finn, that novel, in turn, helped shape African-American writing in the twentieth century. As Ralph Ellison commented in an interview with Fishkin, Twain "made it possible for many of us to find our own voices." Was Huck Black? dramatizes the crucial role of black voices in Twain's art, and takes the first steps beyond traditional cultural boundaries to unveil an American literary heritage that is infinitely richer and more complex than we had thought.

Download or read book Only the Dance written by Judith Kitchen and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the words of others as her wellspring, Kitchen takes us on excursions in time, self, and literature to examine the interconnectiveness of past, present, and future pieces of her life. Longer essays form the vertical threads of Kitchen's autobiographical tapestry, reflecting the shape of her identity as daughter, student, wife, teacher, and finally, well-known writer/editor/reviewer. Her quest defies chronology as she traverses a geography of memories in upstate New York, Brazil, New England, Wyoming, and Washington state. Shorter essays, laden with personal and political history, trace the horizontal threads of a three-week journey through Scotland, England, and Wales. Extending the spirit of Virginia Woolf and of philosopher Henri Bergson, Kitchen's travels take the reader to destinations where the dimensions of life intersect: past and present, political and personal, literary and literal.

Download or read book History Gender Eighteenth century Literature written by Beth Fowkes Tobin and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "At once feminist and historical, the essays in History, Gender, and Eighteenth-Century Literature draw on culture, history, and gender as categories of analysis to explore British literature. From a variety of critical angles, the contributors to this volume contend that a comprehensive understanding of the circumstances and conditions of women's and men's lives is vital to the task of literary criticism. The texts under consideration range from the late seventeenth to the early nineteenth centuries, from popular and subliterary genres, such as conduct books and agricultural manuals, to works by such canonical writers as Joseph Addison, Richard Steele, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, and Jane Austen." "Providing models that will encourage feminists to turn to history and culture in their analyses of literary texts, these essays explore the cultural and historical specificity of ideas about women and men, their roles, and their "nature" as manifested in literature. Among the topics discussed are the ways in which texts create gendered subjectivities and promote the production of masculine and feminine spheres of activity; the use of more traditional historical methods aimed at rediscovering women's lived experience; the economic and political forces that shape women's lives; the legal foundations of women's powerlessness; the representation of the body; and violations of gender categories." "A central tenet of feminist criticism in recent years has been the conviction that gender must be understood not just in biological terms but also in its fuller sense as a social and cultural construct. This assumption leads to the awareness that the conditions shaping women's experience - and the construction of gender - are constantly shifting. It is this challenge that the essays in History, Gender, and Eighteenth-Century Literature explore. "We must recognize historical difference," writes Beth Fowkes Tobin, "because with this understanding will come the recognition that as women, as writers, and as readers, we are constituted by our society, and upon this recognition depends our liberation.""--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
