Eve Ensler

Plan of Investigation Who is Eve Ensler? How did she tell the truth? How has her truth made an impact on our society? How is that impact felt today? There is a tremendous amount of information online about her work and the truth she has told to the public media over the years. I plan to research these questions by reading articles, watching videos on sites such as YouTube.com, and watching Eve Ensler’s TED talks to gather information about her. I also plan to read her play and possibly watch the TV movie called The Vagina Monologues to gather further knowledge on Eve Ensler’s efforts. Summary of Evidence Eve Ensler is an American playwright, performer, feminist, and activist, best known for her play The Vagina Monologues. (Wikipedia). This…

very important thing to people. If people don’t have security they lose a sense of comfort. In House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros and “What Security Means to Me,” by Eve Ensler both show security and what it means to them in their eyes. Security helps people get through daily life easier than without it. When people do not have security they become lost. In House on Mango Street security pops up on many different sections throughout the story. In the speech “What Security Means to Me”…

Once again, Salinger wasn’t oblivious to the meanings behind each character’s name. In fact, symbolism plays a part in the character Sybil Carpenter. “Sybil, bright with innocence but already tarnishing, symbolizes for Seymour the human condition: like the sibyls of old, she is the unconscious oracle through whom the prophecy is revealed, the instrument of truth” (Lane). A sibyl is defined as “a woman in ancient times supposed to utter the oracles and prophecies of a god” (“sibyl”). It is…

One of the most debated aspects of the text is whether or not Eve is a feminist character, and by extension whether or not Milton was a misogynist. The debates have risen over the years because of the way views of women have changed. The second wave of feminism in the 1970s heavily effected the way that Milton’s work was looked at and brought upon new interpretations of the poem. Sometimes the historical context in which Milton was writing is lost on critics and they read the text in terms of…

THOUGH IT SEEMS INTUITIVE TO ASSUME AN EITHER STRICTLY FEMINIST OR ANTI-FEMINIST READING WHEN CONSIDERING EVE, THIS BINARY SYSTEM DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT HOW BOTH READINGS IN FACT REINFORCE ONE ANOTHER Eve’s body is a particularly salient way in which her place in the gender hierarchy is solidified. This is established from the moment the characters are introduced in Book IV: Shee as a vail down to the slender waste Her unadorned golden tresses wore Disheveld, but in wanton ringlets wav 'd…

centuries old lovers. In the Film, Adam and Eve have lived apart for some time, however that all changed when Eve felt that Adam was unhappy.

In addition, before Adam and Eve’s reunion Adam had been living in the ruins of Detroit creating his favorite art, music. During his stay he’d developed a close friendship with a human named Ian. Ian its Adam’s go to guy when he…

same they differ fundamentally on many levels. The main difference between the two stories is the narrator, in “Eve’s Diary” Eve describes her experience of the narrative, whereas in “Adam’s Diary” Adam tells his very different perspective of similar events. The structure of “Adam’s Diary” and “Eve’s Diary” is set up in the same fashion of telling the story through days of the week. This technique adheres to the meaning of both titles in the sense that these are both personal accounts of their…

All humans, the Adams and Eves of the 21st century, also have a common purpose—it is to remain conscious. This means filling one’s heart with love and fostering a present mind, at all times. Your primary purpose as an Adam or Eve is to remain conscious and mindful in your life. This is what Buddha taught. God made mindfulness a human being’s primary purpose because he wants us to return to our true home which is the paradise of 5th dimensional earth—the true heaven. To accomplish this, we must…

To Victor’s surprise, Henry told him of course Frank needs an Eve and a creature that Frank could bond with. Victor and Henry decided that Frank and his Eve could go deep into the woods to avoid being seen and that they would help build them a shelter to live in. Henry even offered to help Victor make an Eve. Frank was overjoyed at this idea. They decided to get to work on the Eve that very night. It did not take long to make the Eve, for Victor had already made a creature and knew what to do…

knowledge that he gains from this is that of the world, perfection, and innocence he will lose soon after (lines 1053-1058). This sin is not pointless, as it shapes Adam from a flawless human into a wise human, one who has or is learning from their mistakes (279 lines 763-764). However, it is detrimental to Adam’s view of his life and the world(s) around him (298 lines 558-573). Even after the banishment of Adam and Eve, Adam continues to ask questions. As Michael reveals to Adam these visions…
