    According to Chapter 4, Karen Horney “wanted to become a physician and became the first women to be accepted into medical school” (Chapter 4, pg. 106). Chapter 4 also mentions how, “Karen’s mother supported her decision and desire to want an education even though Karen’s father was against it” (Chapter 4, pg. 106). It appears to me that Karen Horney was a feminist, meaning that she strongly believed that women can be independent, have rights just like men and can be successful just like men. It appears to me that Karen Horney was born in the time-frame to where women did not have the same rights have man, were not independent or able to get successful jobs as men because they were considered a man’s job and women’s job mainly was to be a…

In paragraph 4, she writes “Thank goodness summer vacation is almost here; one more week and our torment will be over.” This shows how she’s still focusing on the little things in her life that made her happy. Another diary entry, Anne describes her new residence- the Annex. Paragraph 19, “Thanks to Father and to a brush and a pot of glue, I was able to plaster the wall with pictures.” This shows how, despite being in the midst of hiding, she still looks to the bright side of…

    The first step Moody took on her journey of activism was to join the NAACP and SNCC. The majority of work done by Anne Moody while working for these two organizations was voter registration drives. During Moody’s stay at college, she would often travel to the delta and stay in the Freedom House. Here, Moody and her colleagues would plan and execute the voter registration drives. Moody would also organize rallies. Unfortunately, these rallies were poorly attended, and not much was accomplished. Many Negroes were too afraid to vote and did not attend the rallies because of the threat of losing their jobs. The tactic of making Negroes aware of their civil rights in a nonviolent and passive manner failed from the beginning of Moody’s inception into the Movement.…

    Anne Moody (born Essie Mae) was a very private person, and her withheld feelings often led to mental breakdowns. Throughout her childhood she is a timid, poor little girl who is afraid to even ask her mother questions about what is going on around her. Through most of her childhood experiences she learns the social significance of race and gender on her own because her mother avoids confronting the issue because she feels society cannot be changed. The first time Anne is really confronted with the issue of racial differences is when she makes friends with some white neighbors and goes to the movies with them. When arriving at the movies she learns that she cannot sit in the regular seats with the other white children. "After the movie incident… [I realized] all of a sudden they were white, and their whiteness made them better than me…their whiteness provided them with a pass to downstairs in that nice section and my blackness sent me to the balcony. Now that I was thinking about it, their schools, homes, and streets were better than mine," a naïve Moody contemplated to herself. Moody could not really respond to the situation as such a young girl, but the movie incident definitely opened up her eyes to a new outlook on life…

    The renowned author Ellen Hopkins never disappoints with her unique novels. Identical follows the lives of sixteen year old twins who battle their oncoming demons everyday. Kaeleigh is the perfect student and the perfect child. Yet ever since she was nine, her corrupt father has sexually abused her because of the absence of his wife, who is away campaigning for congress. Raeanne doesn’t want to come second in her father's eyes so she turns to drugs and sex to fill the void in her heart. This novel should be banned to young high school students because of the extent of drug use, the explicit and vivid sex and rape scenes, along with inappropriate relationships, and self harm.
