Personal Preferences: A Personal Analysis
It was the year of 2013 when my family and I had barely moved from Cassville to Monett. It was a big change for me because by that time I was used to my regular day routine and trying out a new sport wasn’t in my regular day schedule. We didn’t really have the opportunity to play sports because of how far away we lived from school; But it wasn’t till the year of 2014 when I first tried to play soccer and met Janie Salas.
She is very kind, nice and very caring. Janie had dark shiny hair that went up to her shoulders, brown shiny eyes, and usually always wore nice tight skinny jeans that she would roll up to her calf muscles with colorful converse or flats. She always had a bun and if it wasn’t a bun, then it was really neat and immaculately braid on her hair. Her height was about 5’1 - 5’2.

A center forward is a player in soccer who is in charge of making the goals, and helps out their partners which are left forward, and right forward. They can also be called the wings of the center forwards. Center midfielders are those who run a lot more than anybody else in the team. They make sure they defend the ball, need to have aggressiveness, could make goals and help defense as well as their wings, or right midfield, and left midfield.
Janie was an extraordinary talented person who inspired me because she wouldn’t give up like I seen a lot of people do. She wasn’t abstruse, or hard to understand. even if she felt sad or hurt from a kick or something bothering her, she would still have that smile. I also had her in my cardio class which is a class especially for running. Having her in my running class meant a lot for me because she would always help me on not to give up. She taught me things I thought could never be taught such as having patience, understand people are different and to have confidence in

    Janie’s strength and personality are clearly represented in three different ways. First is the first symbol her hair represents, whiteness. In Chapter 19, Mrs. Tuner is racist of all and anything related to “Negroes” except when the “Negroes” show a trait of whiteness. Mrs. Tuner sought Janie as a friend because of Janie’s “coffee-and-cream complexion and her luxurious hair” that showed the symbol of whiteness within Janie. She worshipped Janie since that hair brought out a sense of white power that Janie uses, which disrupts the balance between two themes within the novel – white over black, and male over female.…

    The way he treats Janie causes conflict: “the reason for the marital conflicts between Janie and Jody is over who should control Janie 's thinking”( Bernard 6). Joe believes that Janie is incapable of thinking for herself and therefore he should make her decisions. Janie, on the other hand, sees herself as a person who can make her own choices. The power Joe holds over her hurts their marriage and takes away Janie’s individualism. Joe also sees Janie’s beauty as a threat to his ability to keep her submissive. “The visual image of her body can be the source of […] her strength”( Hozhabrsadat and Daram 2) Her light skin and straight hair give her an elevated role in the community, and the potential to leave him. To combat her beauty, Joe forces Janie to wear a headscarf, hiding the symbol of her feminine beauty. In doing so, Joe takes away another part of what makes Janie an individual. He stifles her, not allowing her to live as an independent woman. He stops her from finding her sense of self, which affects Janie later when she is finally given the chance to explore her true identity.…
