Life of a Girl
“A man’s face is his autobiography; A woman’s face is her work of fiction” OSCAR WILDE
Therefore, do all girls think themselves blessed in this regard – they can hide their emotions, on the contrary it is a benediction that no one can read their feelings in their face. A woman’s life is itself so complex, so subtle, so precise and has a very microscopic dimension of vision. This I’ll spare your brain, every action of any or rather all woman is so carefully measured and discussed with such depths that I’m forced to call them “microscopic” analysis. On the contrary while I am told to stay indoors , my younger brother happily enjoys a trip bading goodbye to a sudden guest to auto-rickshaw stand at ten in the night. My little bit of dominance is also gone!
Who is an infant girl?
She is someone of an entirely different perspective (than our usual idea of what “ a woman” is). She is PERHAPS only bothered about her feedings-the strange turnings in her stomach or the queer sensation when her bladders are bursting…..and then she lets it out….and hushed voices immediately HUSHING as she releases the queerness of bladdder-bursting situation. Maybe otherwise bothered of the the strange numbnesss that dwells and conquers her and then darkness falls upon where she sees strange figures-sleep. She is just an INFANT and not “an infant girl” as I have said before. She is just a life hovering in a body , life growing and learning, trying to decipher all the sounds made by her parents at every incredulous act which she obliviously performs.Then after a couple of years, the sensation of strength in her trembling knees starts mattering. Then crawling to fetch that toy dadda bought for her birthday. At this stage she always remains rash and rapid and above all restless; she is always planning new adventures either to her momma’s dressing cosmetics or to her elder brother’s books just to enjoy watching him fret and fume!

    She is a very happy girl very different than other girls her age. She herself represents individuality and free thinking. She’s real, alive, vibrant, and dynamic.

    Now I shall talk about her childhood in particular and show how this might have had an impact on her later life. From what I have read she was a strong-minded, stubborn girl who always asked questions from her own curiosity but never had any answers for them as her aunt always said “Instead of asking these silly questions you should be focusing on what any other normal and civilised girl would wonder, what we are going to have for pudding today.” From this quote the life of a woman in those days is revealed. Obviously women in that time still weren’t treated as equals to the men. While the men worked and discussed intellectual and political debate and all the interesting and educational side of matters, women and girls were led down the path of being an obedient house wife. While the men went out and earned a living, women were meant to stay at home,…

    The layers of Esch’s unique coming-of-age story are characterized by toughness and independence: she is left motherless but must also formulate her own definition of motherhood in the wake of her teen pregnancy. As the only girl in the story, she is forced to make difficult and adult choices and thus decipher her own identity; should she hit herself “really hard in the stomach” to “bring a miscarriage” or keep “what is inside” her…

    Her attitude towards her mother shows a lack of empathy and an uncaring personality. I was surprised when I saw her concern for her son, but her character seems more worried about his education than his wellbeing. She joins the opposing side of Roberta’s protest just to go against her. This woman is obviously hurt and shows slight sociopathic tendencies. Reading from her unreliable point of view is intriguing and opens the story for questions and discussions.…

    She feels that she is a “burden” to him because of her “nervous troubles”. John seems to treat the narrator as if she really does have something wrong with her even though her “case is no serious”. He tells her that “nothing was worse for a nervous patient than to give way to such fantasies”. He puts the narrator in a “nursery” as if she is a small child. He refers to her as a “blessed little goose”. He also tries to keep her away from all contact with people. He tells her that her baby makes her “so nervous” and when she wants her cousins to visit he tells her that “he would as soon put fireworks in my pillow-case as to let me have those stimulating people about now”. The narrator describes the wallpaper as “torn off in spots and it sticketh closer than a brother,” which talks about her relationship with John which is strong but they still have a few problems. Also she says, “must have had perseverance as well as hatred” which means that she believes in John and thinks that he is doing what’s best for her however she does have a feeling of hatred sometimes for him because he keeps her locked in and doesn’t treat her as a normal…

    Freud, in his New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis, argues that there is ambivalence between daughters and their mothers and attempts to explain the cause of the ambivalence. By ambivalence he means a love/hate relationship in which the actor has opposing feelings for an object simultaneously. The source of the ambivalence is embedded in the process of feminization that girls undergo. I gathered that it is the product of two separate psychical changes that girls undergo. I will first explain these two changes then attempt to expound on how they combine to produce the mixed feelings the girl has for her mother.…

    It is estimated that “7 in 10 girls believe that they are not good enough or don’t measure up in some way, including their looks, performance in school and relationships with friends and family members” (Linton 1), which is an astounding ratio, and certainly used to encompass myself as a victim. Throughout my middle school and early high school years, I was incredibly self-conscious of my body, looks, and somewhat gauche personality. I was at least eight inches taller than most girls in middle school, and as a result was a bit more heavy-set in my anatomy. I felt as though I was hideous and intimidating in stature, and my shyness as a result of that led to me making few friends during those years. I felt isolated in my struggle, and did not…

    I was squirming around with butterflies in my stomach sitting in the passenger seat of my dad’s giant Dodge Ram pick-up truck on the way up to middle-of-nowhere upstate New York. It was going to be my first time driving an actual go-kart, a kart that could go much faster than any Spongebob-themed ones at any amusement park. As I was sitting there, my dad was telling me that, no matter what, it was important that I was having fun, and to not be discouraged because he knew that I was going to be the only girl. Sure enough, I was the only girl.…

    Since the earliest of times, women are said to be very emotional individuals. They cry, they laugh, they yell, and then cry some more, all in the span of a day. Compared to men it may seem like women even exaggerate their emotions. There are instances, however, where both men and women should show an equal amount of emotion, yet they still do not. In John Donne’s poem, “A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning,” the author is leaving for some time and he remains unusually calm even though he will be without his wife. Through metaphors, Donne is able to explain to his wife that she needs to stay calm because their love is strong and they will surpass it all.…

    In sharp contrast to ‘Lajwanti’, the girl attempts to revolt back to her father using the pen as her weapon. However, she also confesses ‘even in words I can’t fight down the fear of being a girl’. The two women are fearful to open up their hearts and truly express their feelings and emotions. The girl reading about, ‘Judith, Raziya Sultan, Laxmi Bai and Helen Keller’, tries to follow their example. However, she is anguished as she cries, ‘I want to speak but my voice chokes’ and ‘As I decide to turn over a new leaf, You trespass on my little heart.’…

    It is a known fact that many parents have put a full stop after being blessed with boys after girls. But in my case, I sincerely thank my parents for lovingly accepting us in this world. The Great Lord has empowered us to lead a very Catholic life. In fact there has never been any complaint from my father that he could not manage or sustain so many of us, him being the only earning member. Rather he worked much harder and saw that nothing less has been provided for us. My mother on the other hand, stayed at home to take care of us. Her great concern for us ranges from our studies, food and clothing to our safety, love and individual attention. I strongly believe that our parents are our greatest gifts from God and so we must not fail to thank him. Unlike in many other households, in our home it is my brothers who actually do more housework than the girls. My parents do not have any favourites, nor are they gender-biased, nor do they curtail our freedom. It actually is their profound trust in us that disables us from crossing our limits. I gratefully thank the Almighty for providing me a home which I love to go back to and one in which I am safe, loved and attended to. I can rightly say I am blessed and proud to be a girl child born into a wonderful…
