Coco Chanel
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. To say Coco Chanel will be looked back upon in a hundred years as merely another fashion designer is to say there is no difference between Starbucks and convenience stores when it comes to coffee: One is clearly head and shoulders above the rest for content, quality and reputation. Chanel turned an entire industry on its ear when she unleashed her uniquely unprecedented attitude and style upon a world of grateful women who were finally released from decades and decades of being one with their constricting clothing. Introduced during the 1920s when other areas of women's clothing were also going through a metamorphosis, Chanel sought to and quite ravishingly succeeded in reinventing the entire manner by which women perceived themselves by way of comfortable yet stunning fashion. Here, Chanel discusses her philosophy, style, personal life and professional influence in an interview held at the Ritz Hotel in Paris shortly before her death in 1971. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Edith Wharton’s “Roman Fever”
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing Edith Wharton’s short story “Roman Fever” including several elements of fiction which are used such as plot, characters, language, setting, theme, points of view and imagery among others.

While the short story “Roman Fever” (1936) reveals her love for the beauty of the city of Rome, perhaps more importantly the story reveals the levels of deception which can live within the propriety of the upper classes. Through the analysis of several elements of fiction within the work, readers are able to understand how Wharton manages to maintain formality within the text yet still offer readers an increasingly interesting story.

[ send me this paper ]
