Subject: Final Paper Proposal Author: Andrea [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 16:48:07 04/24/01 Tue "Breaking The Code: Revealing One's True Class Intentions as Displayed in Rebecca Gilman's SPINNING INTO BUTTER And SCENE II: THE SILENT DESIRE" The development of an individual's attitudes towards class, a necessity in that it provides guidance in how one formulates their life, is not only complex but is in fact false. Sarah Daniles superficially prefers an inclusive lifestyle, open to all persons, only in the end to oppose this belief by permitting the truth to surface, while Ashley undergoes a similar process but in a situation that is the complete antithesis, allowing both characters to overcome internal destruction and confront the obstacle of living out their genuine views, a common societal trend. The above is a preliminary draft of my thesis which will explore the idea of our true ideas of class are often hidden as shown through the situations of both of these characters. Keeping the latter in mind when writing Scene II, I wanted to depict this idea of secret beliefs but in a situation which is the direct opposite, a wealthy girl used to the high-class lifestyle and who enjoys its luxuries but simultaneoulsy wants more than material objects. Form and content, information about Ms. Gilman and some commentary about pop-culture related to the texts to emphasize some of my ideas will be included.
