The poor educated women were allowed into few jobs that were not prostitution in that time of history other women were not so lucky they were forced by men to go into prostitution there were women that would be drugged and raped. There was a person in the book that I found interesting Black Ide was a Denver prostitute that was arrested for killing a woman with a baseball bat for murdering a man…

    Character Analysis Of Dillion And Jazz Luther In The Book 'Define Normal'

    In other words, she sees the looks teachers give her, and it inspires her to do better in her school work and prove to them that her image does not define her personality. Her mother tries to get her to act like the rich kid she is, but the more her mother tries, the more she rejects the idea and rebels. She wears black and dyes her hair unnatural colors to hide where she really comes from, a rich family. She also hides her love for playing piano because she does not want to be classified as a rich kid, but doing so gets classified as a punk or a goth. Antonia, the other main character, is classified as smart or a teacher’s pet, so a teacher’s pet and a punk; that is not usually the types that are best friends. In the beginning of the book, they did not even want to be seen together. By the end of the book , that did not matter anymore because they were proud of each…

    The Cultural Revolution that took place in the 1960’s and 70’s had a major impact on the citizens of China, and is represented throughout literature in a multitude of ways, as shown in the passages Red Scarf Girl and China’s Cultural Revolution. With these differentiating ideas used in both passages, people who learn about this topic can thoroughly understand these facts on deep emotional levels if there are ways to get a full picture of the historical events that took place.

    Wild Geese Mary Oliver

    The first two lines in Mary Oliver poem, Wild Geese, set the meaning of her poem. They are, “You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting” (Oliver 852). These two lines tell the reader that we all fall short of God but even when we sin, we should repent and move on. We do not have to live in the shame or guilt of sin because Jesus has already paid that price. Lines 4 and 5 tell the reader to love each other. This is just as the bible tells us to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. In lines 5 and 6 Oliver is telling the reader to share their burden with someone. We never have to go through life alone, there are people put in our lives and Jesus is…

    Compare/Contrast Essay Tale Tell Heart and Goose Girl

    The unnamed narrator in Edgar Allan Poe’s “A Tell- Tale Heart” and the chambermaid in the Grimm Brothers “The Goose Girl” both possess strikingly similar characteristics. Both show aggression and use violence to get what they want but are very careful of how they go about it and covering it up. In Poe’s story, the unnamed narrator kills an elderly man that he is caring for because the old man has a foul looking eye that is covered with a white film. This is what is slowly driving him insane but afterwards he ingeniously decides to hide the body incase someone heard the noise of the olds man body. This is so he does not get arrested for his murder and when the police do stop they believe his story and do not suspect anything, until he gives them a reason. The chambermaid on the other hand forcefully and violently makes the princess, who she knows wont stand up for her self, switch places with her simply because she wants to live the life of the princess. She also makes the princess swear to secrecy so she never has to worry about her true identity being unveiled. Later, she cleverly kills the princess’s talking horse, which was the only witness to what happened between the chambermaid and the real princess’s.…

    A Portrait of a Child as a Language User

    She comes from an English speaking background with no discernible accent or dialect. I am interested in her reading skill set- the strategies she uses to sound a word and her interpretation or ‘ideational function’ of the text. She enjoys the visual stimulus of the illustrations. She reads her school reading tree books with her mom daily and enjoys looking through the books at school. Literacy is very important part in Bella’s school where ‘good teachers give pupils many opportunities to do independent, silent reading in a school which is richly stocked with books and where teachers and children discuss their books they have read’ (Collins & Safford, 2008, pg.417).…

    Summary on the Good Daughter by Caroline Hwang

    The Good Daughter by Caroline Hwang is an essay about the author’s identity and dual culture as an American and her ethnicity as a daughter of Korean immigrants. She starts her anecdote with her trip to the dry cleaning store wherein she met a woman who is also of Korean ethnicity. She tried to identify herself as a fellow American-Korean by doing a customary Korean greeting. When the woman asks Caroline her name, she is inclined to ask if she is Chinese. The reason being is because Caroline mispronounces her last name, Hwang. After Hwang explains to her in English of her ethnicity, the woman bursts out in laughter and corrects her. Caroline takes this a little offensive, probably because of the fact that she had just dropped out of graduate school and her “sense of identity” was disappearing.…

    Analysis Of Snow White By Andrea Hollander Budy

    I liked “Snow White” by Andrea Hollander Budy. It puts an interesting twist to the commonly known fairy tale and introduces a new perspective. Generally, fairy tales focus on children and are made for the sake of entertainment. However, this poem is meant for females, particularly housewives, based on the line “mistaking the footprints of your own / children for those little men?” (9-10). It’s interesting that Snow White’s ‘prince’ is actually the dwarf Bashful, “who still won’t admit it” (3). He seems to be very timid, so she has to take the initiative to make them closer. Instead of being the typical damsel-in-distress or helpless-princess archetype, Snow White is more clever and resolute than her original tale; it promotes strength for females. On the other hand, the audience is distressed…

    Summary Of Jamaica Kincaid's Girl

    In the short story, or extremely long sentence, “Girl”, Jamaica Kincaid -the author as well as the speaker- gives a list of ongoing commands that she was receiving. As readers, we assume that these are orders coming from her mother. As we are aware, her family had certain beliefs and also did not approve of her writing later on in life. The italicized words in the text such as “…but I don’t sing benna on Sundays at all and never in Sunday school…” and “…but what if the baker won’t let me feel the bread…” give the reader a sense that Jamaica is interjecting with her mother’s instructions. Mrs. Richardson, Jamaica’s mother, is very strict about her ways and is almost forcing Jamaica to become a perfect female. Overall, her mother believes that she is “bent on becoming a slut”, and tries…
