Alys: An Evil Woman
Alys is an evil woman. She does everything a woman is not supposed to do. This leads to the thought that Alys might be tearing woman's image down instead of building them up. After all, Alys flaunts her body instead of covering it up. Alys uses her sex as a weapon instead of showing honor to God by remaining chaste. Alys wears bold colors drawing attention to herself instead of remaining as silent. These qualities do not mean she is bringing women down. Instead, they show how she is empowering them. She uses sex as a tool the very same way that man diamantine women with their strength. Alys shows to a woman that they should not be afraid to use there God given gifts instead that woman should be prepared to use them. Thus, she is empowering

    The Looking Glass Wars

    A caterpillar that smokes from pipes and eats tarty-tarts is only the beginning of Frank Beddor’s first book in his trilogy The Looking Glass Wars. Many of us are familiar with the infamous fairy tale of Alice who stumbles upon a hole that leads her to Wonderland and meets strange characters like the Cheshire Cat and others. Now there are many differences in Beddor’s tale; not only is the Cat an assassin with nine lives but Alice-the character we grew up knowing-has a different name, Alyss Heart. She is a young girl whose kingdom of Wonderland is taken over by her blood thirsty and cruel Aunt Redd, who is truly the incarnation of evil. This book is one with many gory battles, sad deaths, and is a mouthful of gwormy worms because of its unforgettable characters. Alyss’s parents-whom are both assassinated by Redd-are the type of parents who truly love their daughter. Alyss is 1 percent child and 99 percent goof. She does not fully understand her role as princess and is forced into fleeing her Queendom and entire world to escape Redd’s wrath. She is taken by Hatter Madigan, personal guard of the Queen and gets separated in England. Alyss now has to grow out of her childish nature and do many things, and each of them is near impossible. She must…somehow find Hatter in a whole new world that she is not familiar with; survive in a surrounding unfamiliar to her; find a way back to her own world; and train her imagination so that she can fight Redd. Yes, you heard right. Imagination. No longer are conventional weapons such as guns and bombs needed when you can simply imagine the most deadly weapons in a second. You can even pull a prank on a random bystander just by thinking it true, which was usually done by Alyss. ‘"It'd be more fun if it had fountains of water coming out of it," Alyss said, and immediately the hoop was spurting water from tiny holes all along its surface, the surprised inventor…

    “Not that this color is not important—in tales as elsewhere, white stands for luminosity and untainted sheen, thus for luminous heaven as much as for purity”(Da Silva, 2007). The thought was confusing without the paradox symbols. Edie sees the mat as cold or pure but when she walks on it, it becomes warm. Much like Edie’s innocence is warming up to passion. “First she depicts a girl, “thirteen going on fourteen, the hinge of your life, when you are . . . nor child nor woman . . .…

    In the short story "Lamb to the slaughter" by Roald Dahl, Mrs. Maloney gets away with killing her husband and nobody really suspects her of doing so because she's a woman. The setting and time period of the story plays a large role because this is still an era when men and women had gender roles. Mrs. Maloney isn't a suspect to her husband's murder because she had an alibi and one of the main reasons was she had the gender role of the typical house wife. In the story the detctives do not suspect Mrs. Maloney of killing her husband because her gender roles as a woman are being fragile, dumb, incapable of doing anything that needs physical force, does nothing but cook, clean, take care of the house, tend to her husband, and above all she is pregnant which helps her get away with murdering her husband.…

    While confessing his weakness for women, Alfie reflects on his upbringing and explains why he views women in the way that he does. He goes on to reveal that where he is from, the young boys in Baghdad, including himself were exposed to adultery at the young age of 12. He says, “We were twelve and already visiting whores during those hot Levantine lunch hours when our french masters intoned the rules for food, rest, and good digestion.” (Mukherjee 4) Alfred expresses that he has experience first hand with woman based on his encounter with adultery. In addition, he was also guided on various things like when to eat, sleep and figure out what is good for you and what is not. This shows that at twelve years old, he was heavily influenced by these “french masters” that clearly wanted the boys like him to grow up familiar with a specific way to live. I believe that Mukherjee was bringing light to the fact that the men’s perception of woman stems from what they were exposed to as young boys which as a result, defines the type of relationship that they had with them in the overall…

    A woman comes home only to find her husband in bed with another woman. She grabs the closest blunt object and brutally attacks both her husband and his lover, killing them both. This is a crime of passion. According to the Legal Information Institute, a Crime of Passion is classified as “A crime committed while in the throes of passion, with no opportunity to reflect on what is happening and what the person is about to do.”(source) What Mary Maloney did was not murder but only a crime of passion. The expected result was not to kill her husband but only to keep him and not lose him to the other woman. This is the natural instinct of a woman who was under the impression that she was in a happy marriage that was soon to be welcoming a new baby.…
