Sisters Summary
This nine weeks I read Sisters by Raina Telgemeier it was a relatable graphic novel about the life of a girl and her sister and it's really funny and highlights the true parts of having a sister. This novel is about 100 pages long. I read this book because the name and the cover grabbed my attention. My story mainly takes place in their family car on a road trip from California to Colorado. It is recent but does not give a spasic date. The characters are all young when the book took place. There was a lot of flashbacks when the girls were smaller and when Will (their little brother) was born. The stories main characters were Raina, Aneda, Will, Mom, and Dad. The main character in this book is Raina. Raina is 14 and about to start high school. She loves to draw. She constantly misses her cousin she wishes was her sister. When she sees her cousin for the first time in years she doesn't remember Raina. This book does not have an antagonist. …show more content…
But a few weeks prior to the trip Aneda let a snake go in the car in the front seat. The snake stays there under the seat the entire trip. The girls are left alone in the car that was broke down while their mother and brother hitchhike to get a ride to a toe-truck the girls are let there in the heat. Without keys when all of a sudden the snake named Mango crawled out of the seat. Terrified the girls thought of nothing better to do the catch him in a bag.

    Summary Of Sister Trouble

    • 615 Words
    • 3 Pages

    In Marian Ronan’s work, “Sister Trouble,” she discusses the vatican investigations of American Catholic sisters, and argues that the constant tension and conflict between catholic sisters and bishops and popes stems from the issue of gender. Ronan quotes Kathleen Sprows, who argues that throughout church history the issues between celibate women and men in the church have come about when these women step out of their traditional gender roles, as traditionalists believe strictly in the essentialist nature of gender. This means that men and women inherently have separate characteristics and capabilities. This is often paired with the idea of gender compatibility, in which men and women compliment each others capabilities, and thus, naturally go well together. Sprows writes that as opportunities for women to increase their education and power in society/the public sphere, they also come to challenge the traditional female gender role which places women mainly in the private sphere and as subordinate to men (pg.80).…

    In the readings and video presented in week 3, I think, that each one’s main theme was about gender, race, age, intersectionality, and the traditional cultures that people were raised in. In Sister Outsider, where Audre Lorde discussed age, race, class, and sex, she states that within the women’s movement today, white women focus upon their oppression as women and ignore differences of race, sexual preference, class, and age. She talks about the struggles of colored women in the todays society and lists examples like the literature of colored women, how women of color are the lowest paid wage earners in America, that they are targets of abortion and sterilization abuse, and homophobia among black women. In Borderlands La Frontera, Gloria Anzaldua she explains her culture and how females were supposed to be subordinate to males and how she chose a different route, entering the world by way of education and career and becoming a self-autonomous person. She talks about how society says that someone cannot be both genders and about the fear of going back home due to her differences she chose against her native culture like homosexuality.…
