520 $a The purpose of the research was to assess the influence of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels on C. S. Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia, with the primary concerns being Christian Humanism and British imperialism.
520 $a The primary texts employed were very similar in the ways in which psychological maturity, physical size, and animal imagery were used to present a critique of the evils of empire and imperialism. The research is more concerned with the similarities between Swift and Lewis' respective texts than with the differences between those respective texts.
520 $a The result of the research showed that while Lewis is less scathing in his critique of imperialism, he "inherits" from Jonathan Swift a sarcastic attitude towards imperialism for the purpose of personal gain. Lewis' text The Four Loves was used as a lens through which Gulliver's Travels and The Chronicles of Narnia can be read with regards to religious hypocrisy. The Biblical character Samson also proved essential as an archetypal Christ parallel to which Gulliver and Aslan can both be compared.
520 $a The project assesses Cisneros's House on Mango Street from several different angles, showing how, as a postmodern, Mexican-American female author, she draws on several important literary and cultural traditions. Among the essay's main concerns are the bildungsroman tradition, the notion of the self-made man (or self-made woman, in the case of the protagonist, Esperanza Cordero), and the use of Biblical discourse, which Cisneros employs both implicitly and explicitly throughout her text.
520 $a Cisneros weaves these threads together in a densely textured, genre-transforming narrative: Christ is the quintessential "self-made man," and the bildungsroman takes on new meaning when the author juxtaposes the American Dream to the realities of life in the United States for poor, uneducated, Mexican immigrants and their children. Esperanza's name literally means "Lamb of Hope," and this translation suggests a lens though which to read her developmental narrative. Cisneros's protagonist forms her identity and develops her own power by learning from the mistakes as well as the successes of those who have come before her. In the process, she comes to understand that individual authority and freedom require responsibility to the community, those who "cannot out."
