Murasaki Shikibu's "The Tale Of Genji": Gradual Development Of Main Character
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The very process of living life and expanding one's existence has often been perceived as a rebirth of sorts, with writers taking the concept to an infinitely high level of appreciation. The Tale of Genji provides a look into Kyoto court, where emotional sensitivity, dignified behavior and exquisite taste in all things artistic were highly valued. By embracing the inherent – and often esoteric – power of these elements, the reader is able to grasp a significantly better understanding of Genji's personal metamorphosis. No additional sources cited.

Pyong Gap Min's "Struggle For Ethnic Identity : Narratives By Asian American Professionals"
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The United States population reflects a significant diversity of nationalities. Indeed, some of the inherent difficulties and challenges that face these immigrants are great, which are effectively demonstrated in Pyong Gap Min's book entitled "Struggle For Ethnic Identity : Narratives By Asian American Professionals." Gap Min's book points out – through a number of personal narratives – that one of the main obstacles in overcoming this ongoing struggle for Asian ethnic identity in the United States is the absence of cultural recognition. A strong cultural foundation proves difficult in a society that urges other ethnic peoples to adopt the American way of life. No additional sources cited.

R.K. Narayana's Rendition of "The Ramayana"
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page discussion of this abbreviated version of classic tale from Indian culture. This paper
presents the thesis that while R.K. Narayana's rendition of "The Ramayana" is too abbreviated to offer much scholarly use, it occupies a critical
place in world literature in that it introduces the world (particularly the West) to one of the most important tales of Indian literature, a tale
that would be too long and too complex to capture the attention of most western readers without the type of abridgment that Narayana has elicited.
Narayana was in fact writing for a specific audience within a specific societal framework. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
