Asked by oswirlso - Thu Oct 11 21:50:09 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I hope this helps you. The work explores the theme of loneliness and frustration in small-town America. Anderson's writing often seems disjointed and tentative, a style that lends itself to the half-conscious thoughts and raw emotions of Winesburg's residents and their inability to express their deepest hopes and fears. The townspeople are grotesques, stunted morally, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually, and they are inarticulate. They seem to gravitate toward George, telling him their strange, often sad, stories in the hope that, in writing the stories of their lives, he will be able to impart dignity and meaning to their personal struggles and experiences. The chapter "Paper Pills" recounts how the misshapen apples - the grotesques of… [cont.]

Winesburg, Ohio By Sherwood Anderson?
Q. I need to find background information about the novel Winesburg, Ohio. Why was it written, what was happening in Anderson's life at the time, what was happening in the world at the time, what influenced the novel? I can find what was going on in his life and the world at the time of the novel, but does anyone have any information or links that that can help me with the other parts?
Asked by Megan - Sun Jan 8 15:22:24 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It's been awhile since I have studied the novel but I will tell you what I know. Anderson was a huge fan of William Faulkner. Anderson was heavily critisized for his writing because he wasn't necessarily writing "inside" the lines. Some of his stories are definatley ahead of the time period and that is a major point you need to take into consideration. There is a book called the Informers. I can't remember the authors name right now but you should be able to find it at any book store. It is a contemporary version of Winesburg, Ohio. This might help you do a compare contrast. Sorry I couldn't remember much but hopefully I helped a little bit.

Asked by guerillas in the mist - Tue Oct 24 12:41:43 2006 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments

A. I am a fan of Arthur Miller and Sherwood Anderson, both very fine writers indeed. As for Bukowski, I suggest that there is much better and more interesting American poetry from the period, and you would ultimately be better served with the likes of Allen Ginzberg and the other more "traditional" beat poets and fiction writers, and don't forget Bob Dylan. Being into Bukowski is cool, yes, and hip, but his work will never make the Norton Anthology of Poetry, I'll wager. No offense, because he's quite an interesting writer, but I think that finally his life was more intriguing than his written work.

Literature help with The Egg and The Glass Menagerie!?
Q. What are the similarities and differences in the symbols, motifs, or themes of The Egg by Sherwood Anderson and The Glass Menagerie? Also how the characters alike? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Asked by ILoveSky - Sun Mar 29 14:31:28 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I'm writing a paper on this as well, a couple key things are that -both narrated the by sons, while the glass menagerie is a play, Tom still narrates the setting in between scenes. this allows an easier view of their perspectives instead of their parents. This causes their parents actions to seem more unrealistic, especially for the son in the egg, as he is young, so he takes a juvenile perspective on his parents. -Parents both go to extreme lengths to reach their goal. however, it is not both parents, rather, only the mother in the glass menagerie and the father in the egg. the father in the glass menagerie isn't even present, while an image of his character is still portrayed. and the mother in the egg seems more of a follower of her… [cont.]

A. "George Willard: The hero of the book, George is the only character who is woven through most of the stories. He acts like a medium of communication to the figures he encounters, allowing them to express their desires, thoughts, etc. Many figures seek him out as the only person in Winesburg to whom they can release their pent up frustrations and emotions. Several stories also center around George and his attempts to find love and mature into a man. He works as a reporter at the age of eighteen for the Winesburg Eagle.

Asked by jackson . - Wed Dec 12 06:58:00 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Sherwood Anderson "A Meeting South," and "Dark Laughter" are both short stories, one to do with Anderson's friendship with William Faulkner and the other with New Orleans, if the two topics can be separated. "Winesburg Ohio" is a collection of short stories that are considered Anderson's finest. Other works by him are novels. You can read about him and a bit about these works in the link above (and I would if I were you; transcribing things is sometimes inaccurate)... But to read the stories themselves I would have to go to the library, and I was just there-- so am not due back for four weeks. See if Wiki can help. Put Anderson's name in the search box. If that is not enough, the library surely will be. Ask a reference librarian… [cont.]
