    Curleys wife

    Curley’s wife has no name and is initially seen as the possession of her husband. She is also a good-looking lady who wears quite a bit of makeup, form-fitting dresses, and ostrich feathered-high heels. As the only woman on the ranch, Curley’s wife is lonely and sad – something her marriage to Curley only makes worse. She reveals throughout the course of the story that she is unhappy in her marriage because her husband seems to care little for her, and is really more interested in talking about himself than anything else. Further, she laments her lost potential; she details twice that she could’ve been a Hollywood movie star, though the chance was taken from her by her mother, who worried she was too young.…

    Barbara Mujica's Sister Teresa

    Barbara Mujica’s 2007 novel Sister Teresa, details the lives of Sister Teresa of Ávila as well as her companion Angelica del Sagrado Corazón growing up in Spain and being nuns during the Spanish Inquisition. Throughout her life Sister Teresa (also known as Teresa de Ahumada); is often looked down upon by society due to her Jewish ancestry. The only thing that keeps herself and the rest of her family from being under total persecution is the fact that her father, Don Alonso, bought a patent of nobility which allowed him to work as a tax collector and surmount a substantial amount of wealth. On the other hand, her companion and longtime friend Pancracia (later to be named Angelica) comes from a relatively poor family of seamstresses who survive…

    Andre's Mother

    Even coming from a Catholic background, Terrence McNally, a gay playwright, never felt that being a homosexual was wrong. He quotes, “It seemed very natural to me. I think something as natural as sexual attraction is not to be fought.” He goes on to say that he defined God on his own terms and that the one message he got from being in Catholic school was that we are all created equally in God’s image, therefore, he was going to be okay (Shulman). In 1988, McNally became one of the first writers to confront homosexuality in his short play titled Andre's Mother. Later, in 1997, he wrote "Corpus Christi," which altered the story of Jesus Christ in a gay setting. This created controversy among the conservative,…

    Gloria Anzaldúa

    Feminist literature has changed greatly throughout the movement, often improving on or contradicting previously written ideas. In A Room of One’s Own (1929), Virginia Woolf discusses the disparity between the treatment of men and women as she argues for equal access and opportunity. Several years later, Gloria Anzaldúa reclaims the word mestiza in her discussion about borders in Borderlands: La Frontera (1987). Writing in the beginning of the 20th century, Woolf was very much a proponent of First Wave feminism and its goal of equal possibility for women. Though this was a revolutionary idea, Woolf fails to mention race and the non-binary, however, Anzaldúa is one of the first to be a major proponent for racial, intersectional, and queer…

    Pele

    Pele was a very famous football/soccer player who was born on the 23rd of October 1940. Pele grew up in a very poor family in Tres Coracos, Brazil. Pele is just a nickname for Edson Arantes Do Nascimento which is why he was given this nickname since he has such a long name. Growing up his parents and friends called him ‘Dico’. He first learned the game football from his dad ‘Dondinho’ who was a centre forward until his career came to an end with a fractured leg. Pele began playing when he was a young boy for a local minor team, when he wasn’t playing he was shining shoes for pennies. He was first discovered at age 11 by one of the countries premier players, Waldemar de Brito. Waldemar took Pele to Sao Paulo and said, ‘This boy will be the greatest player in the world’. He was right! Pele had an immediate impact, in his first game he scored a goal right away at age 16! Pele went on to four world cups with his national team Brazil. Pele was an average sized man but blessed with speed, balance, excellent vision, being able to control a ball superbly, being able to shoot powerfully and accurately with either foot and head. Some wealthy European clubs offered large amounts of money to sign the young Brazilian but the government of Brazil declared him an official national treasure to prevent him being transferred out of the country. Pele said ‘My father was a footballer who once scored 5 goals in a single game all with his head, a record I was never able to beat’. Pele’s statistics are astounding scoring 1,280 goals in 1,360 games second to Arthur Friedenreich who scored 1,329 goals. Pele holds the record for hat tricks scoring 92 in his career. His statistics are even more mind blowing compared to today’s players who struggle to score 30 goals in a season. Pele played for Santos for most of his career retired and then came out of retirement to play for the New york cosmos. Pele in many ways was a complete athlete, with superb skill and agility he could dribble around…

    Pia Alba

    A fresh and beautiful woman who came from a rich family in Sta. Cruz. That is Pia Alba. She is a divine woman who never forgets to go to church. Also, she was a very cheerful woman but then changed to being gloomy when she became pregnant. Pia Alba married Capitan Tiago. As a wife, she commended that her husband will also engage in farming and should buy a parcel of land. Their marriage did not bear a child for 6 years so Pia Alba followed the advice of Padre Damaso regarding the dance but it turned out that she was raped by the friar. This is the reason why her joyful character has changed to being melancholic. It was hard for her to accept and ashamed that she was impregnated by another man. She died after giving birth to Maria Clara. The character of Pia Alba symbolizes the women who had been mistreated by the clergy and remained in silence by their humiliation. She may also symbolize women who wanted to give their husband something that would entail a great sacrifice on their part.…

    In my English assignment, I was asked to do a report on someone or things that I am interested with. So, I decided to choose Mother Teresa as my role model to accomplish my task. To me, a role model is someone you want to emulate or hope to be like one day. Besides that, a role model is also someone who has inspiring actions or words. However, I feel that a role model needs to be honest, kind-hearted, humble, and caring. Therefore, I choose Mother Teresa as my role model because she had many great qualities that made her an inspiration in my life.…
