    Kathy Dobie Analysis

    Kathy Dobie’s memoir was thought-provoking. When Kathy first had sex with Brian I knew that this was the start of some bad decisions. When she later went from Brian to Victor I knew she was trying to be a “saint.” When Kathy later found her “tribe” I knew from the start they would use her. When they raped her, she found herself analyzing all of her decisions. It gave her confirmation to change the way she was behaving but to keep her “saint” presence in life.…

    Snapping Beans By Lisa Parker Summary

    Not everyone discusses every detail of their life to family members. It doesn’t mean they aren’t close, just afraid of their reaction, afraid of being seen as different or changed.

Her grandma asked her about school and she couldn't speak up about her experiences for it might trouble her. Parker uses a combination of elements of poetry such as imagery, speaker, alliteration, and symbolism to describe the relationship between the speaker and the grandmother.…

    Mary Rowlandson Essay Example

    To begin with, I want to discuss Mary Rowlandson and her narrative. Rowlandson had written a narrative about the chaos and troubles she had faced during her time being held captive. She did this in a journal that she kept throughout her experience. The most important thing that I had noticed was that despite her painful times, Rowlandson continuously thanked God the life she had been given and to spare her life.…

    Societal Norms In Herman Hesse's Siddhartha

    Discouraged from the pressures of "societal norms" regarding where I should be in my life at my age, the required reading list for our novel class this semester has influenced my personal journey in life. Through the lives of several characters I have been encouraged in my walk towards academic achievement along with participation in more social justice work within my community. I mentioned in an earlier discussion post that stories can transcend us into the world the writer has created. Sometimes, the world the writer has created is inspiring and has the ability to impact how be evolve as an individual.…

    The Slave Monologue

    He considered everything that had happened in the last few minutes. She acknowledged the queen's viscous humor and intention to keep things as they are. Yet he didn't believe that really mattered to her. Her stated belief that pain didn't matter was a clear expression that and more of her numbness to the horrors she'd been exposed to. He'd told her about his friend and she'd asked the boy's name. His breath caught. He looked at her and said, “Though I have not said his name aloud in all these years in memorium of our friendship. I think he'd understand this situation and approve. His name was Marco and he was nine. He was just a boy from the village and so my grandfather saw only a commoner. I've long since come to scorn that mentality though. For years after I reach my majority I looked for him and never found him. Though with the slave trade being what it is, I suppose that's to be expected.…

    Guilt In Toni Morrison's Beloved

    As humans, we tend to run away from our pain. We’re scared of being vulnerable and showing others a sign of weakness. We suppress fear, guilt, despair, and practically any other emotion that fails to express “contentment.” We avoid talking about things in our past that make us feel uncomfortable. But if we don’t address our past, who will? History is created rather than destroyed. And in order to move on from the past, rather than lingering in it, we must be brave enough to speak about it. Past traumas need to be addressed, no matter how gruesome or hurtful they may be. Authors often carry this moral responsibility to spread knowledge amongst the ignorant, to wield their craft conscientiously, to impact others with their language, and last…

    Grandma Descriptive Writing

    green and black alarm clock goes off on the tableside next to my eardrum. I roll over onto my right side and hit the dismiss button turning off the vexatious sound. Slithering out of bed, I flick on the lights and slide on the usual black shirt, black jeans, and Converse; since it is the middle of January I put on a black beanie. I glide down the stairs and I topple over a colossal cardboard box and assuming it has Richard written in illegible letters, I know my stepdad has taken residence in my home.…
