    Queen Hatshepsut DBQ

    • 1008 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Queen Hatshepsut was the first female pharaoh who ruled Egypt. She reigned during 1473 – 1458 B.C.E. She first served as co-ruler with her stepson Tuthmosis III, but later took power as a pharaoh herself. Although she was a great ruler, the idea of having a female ruler was unfamiliar to Egyptians and it unsettled them. As an effort to present her in unthreatening guise to make Egyptians feel more at ease, artists depicted Queen Hatshepsut as a male wearing the stylized beards that are traditionally associated with pharaohs. This gesture shows how females are subordinate to males because they did not feel comfortable that their nation was being led by a female. That is why most societies turned to patriarchal rule. This gesture also showed how they did not respect Queen Hatshepsut because they altered her image as a male. Many societies indicated women’s subordination to men’s status through documents showing how women were not able to participate in government duties, not being allowed a proper education and the inequality between slave men and slave women.…

    In the Time of Butterflies

    • 3387 Words

    Dede is the leading character as she is the only sister who is not claimed by the martyrdom. The narration begins in second person with Dede in her current time (1994), relating the story of the butterflies by going back in time. Each sister then begins taking her turn, rotating chapters, narrating in first person. With Dede, Minerva, Patria, and Maria all taking a turn by chapter, each girl’s distinct personality and voice adds variety and excitement to the book. The story then does well to validate a large audience who will most likely find some of themselves in a particular sister, or in the sisters combined.…

    Save Me, Mickey From all of the 27 chapters in the book “Funny in Farsi”, my favorite chapter was the fourth chapter, Save Me, Mickey. The reason why this chapter is my favorite is because when I went any place during my age of five to seven, I effortlessly got lost. When I find out my parents weren’t with me, I begin to shed tears and wail for them. But according to what Firoozeh had written in her book, she seemed much calmer than I was when she was lost. As I read this book, I wanted to be like her when I was young. It seemed embarrassing to think about right now when I took action on only worrying. The author, Firoozeh Dumas, uses her humor to tell her story by using lack of humor. For example, when Firoozeh’s father had entered boiling for money. He came back, only with $7. This maybe a little funny, but my guess is that not many people would like it. A connection to my own life about moving to a new country was when I had finished 1st grade in Good Shepherd Catholic School, Beverly Hills, California. It was during summer vacation and my parents were thinking to move to another school because my school was turning expensive, barely gave education, and served only fast food for lunch. My parents decided to go back to South Korea and I was sent to SIS on 2nd grade. I was unable to have friends while I was in SIS. But after a few weeks pasted, I finally began to know more people and have some friends. After two years pasted, I went to visit Good Shepherd Catholic School during my summer vacation to see my three best friends, Angela, Sarah Ivy, and Sabrina. When I met Sarah Ivy, she was glad to see me and she took me to Sabrina, where she played with another friend I didn’t know. Sabrina didn’t greet or say anything to me nor she was available to meet me, so I was only aloud to see Sarah Ivy and Angela. I felt it was my parents’ fault for taking me to South Korea and leaving California. But because I was young, I was not old enough to understand that friends will…

    In The Woman Warrior, Maxine Hong Kingston writes an honest memoir that focuses in on the lives of five woman; the most important being Kingston, and is told in 5 chapters. As a reader, we get a glimpse into the realities of life for many Chinese emigrants in America and their children. Kingston, who is the narrator in the book, creates an elaborate fantasy in the second chapter, called “White Tigers”. In it, Kingston portrays a strong warrior woman, who leads her army to victory by overthrowing the emperor at his palace. In reality, she was in America, struggling to get noticed by the unfamiliar people surrounding her.This section of the book bares great importance because it shows the authors use of juxtaposition on the girls reality and a fantasy world she wishes to be in. Readers feel sympathy that she can’t reach her goal of becoming a warrior, but must be stuck in an unfamiliar country where she is ignored and made fun of.…

    Before Coraline hit the big screen it made an everlasting impression as a children’s horrific fairytale. It turns out that Coraline’s name came about because Neil Gaiman kept messing up spelling Caroline. Reading Coraline makes it easy for the first time readers to relate to her character when they think back to their current or past adolescence. Most people would admit to times in their young lives when they were relentless pessimists and complainers, who acted bored and coughed up attitudes on a daily basis. Everyone could share Coraline’s plight when they had felt that there was nothing to do in a new house and were reluctant to meet new people. Viewers and readers alike have also felt a special connection between her family and their own. Children always think about what the perfect mother would be like, and parents also try to be the best for their children. However, both age groups try to imagine something better. Unlike Coraline, no one had ever found a mysterious small door in the…
