    Persepolis: Kingston Vs The Woman Warrior

    In my reading of Persepolis thus far, I have first noticed that this story seems as if it will be a memoir that really shows just how a girl becomes an adult. In the woman warrior, it seemed as if the story was a bit more of an autobiographical account than Persepolis. The life that Marji had to deal with was filled with many tough times. Compared to the Woman Warrior, I believe that the situations Marji had to deal with helped her to be able to better describe just how she evolved emotionally.…

    The Exploration of the Rite of Spring Costumes

    The research for this paper was based off a question that came to, while re-visiting the history and celebrating the one hundredth anniversary of Vaslav Nijinsky’s creation of Le Sacre du Printemps, The Right of Spring that premiered in 1913. This question in mind has many dimensions when asked, to compare the relationship between the costumes of Nijinsky’s The Right of Spring and Pina Bausch interpretation of the score. When researching both ballets in relationship to the costumes that were represented in each version it becomes unclear of the real reasons behind the choices that Nijinsky and Bausch made to develop the style, design and visual effect of the costumes; Questioning whether there was a specific initial inspiration for the designs or perhaps it was the style in the time period when both individual ballets premiered and was influenced by fashion and society.…

    Beyond the Burqa

    The role of the Burqa is to conceal women’s bodies and/or face says Chris Moore whom wrote The Buirqa – Islamic or Culture?. Islamic men believe that women should wear the burqa as a sign of respect and loyalty to the family but where did they get this idea? Moore says many people would think it is Islamic religion but you can’t really say that and be completely accurate. The reason being is because of these facts Moore states he says that is you read the Quran ( the Muslim Bible) it doesn’t gives that as one of the laws that women specifically have to follow. Rather it says that both men and women should follow a dress code but does in fact say that women have to cover their chest, lengthen their garments to conceal their body as respect for themselves and for both men and women should wear the most important garment of all which is righteousness and modest conduct. Nowhere does it mention or require women to wear such garments as a burqa I feel that Quran just wants women in Muslim community to carry themselves in a respectable manner in society. With the information I got from the passage is that the only reason women have to wear the burqa is because men want to feel as if they have power and control over the women in their society I also feel that women should stand up for each other and make a change to stop this in their culture.…

    Fundamentalism: A Short Introduction By Malise Ruthven

    Benevolent, wholesome, and brave men who stood for everything this nation fought so hard for-- this is often the cherished image of the Founding Fathers shown in many textbooks across the United States. However, many of the concepts portrayed in Fundamentalism A Very Short Introduction (Fundamentalism) by Malise Ruthven have allowed for a different interpretation of the Founding Fathers and their creation of a national identity. Fundamentalists as defined by Ruthven are “Nothing but selective about the texts they use and their mode of interpretation (Ruthven 18).” The Founding Fathers fit the definition of fundamentalists in that they used the chaos and fear of the people felt in the post-revolutionary war era to create an…

    American Pantheism

    The rise of the early Christian church was marked by a battle to individualise itself by usurping and suppressing pantheistic ethos of all peasant cultures with which it came into contact. The purpose of pantheism is not idolatry (as the church has continually misinformed us) but a method of representing the method of nature.…

    Clothing Vs Religion

    As a Feminist, I have constantly had to fight for correct and equal representation for women. Growing up, I always favored male clothing as I would recieve my old brother’s school uniforms. Hearing adults question my mother on my choice of clothing influenced me to question the dictation of society placing individuals into categories. This methodology of categories was always present for me in religion; I believed that women were just as suppressed in the bible as in modern day. I would hear the logic behind conservative catholic individuals placing a gender stereotype while learning at a catholic school. Junior year allowed for me to perceive the bible with a Feminist approach. The poem expresses the understanding I made with how the Bible…
