What Really Happened To Odella's Journey?
Odella had been staying at the quaint country farmhouse for a month now, regaining her strength and stability and getting to know the woman that had rescued her… She could have turned her away, or shot her, or anything since Odella had been trespassing. However, Gisela, for that Odella had discovered was the name of the woman who had saved her, had taken her in and given her a place to eat and sleep and time to recover instead and for this she was indebted. However, this was a debt that she knew she could never repay. However, unfortunately, as grateful as she was for somewhere to stay; she knew in her heart that this wasn't her home. She needed to move on and try to finish her journey… and soon or she was doomed to be cursed forever. But not

    Enriques Journey

    Just as Enrique arrives, there is tension between his mother and him. They begin to argue about how Enrique had developed bad habits such as drinking and staying out late as well as sniffing glue. These problems do not surprise me because he had been through alot on his intense journey all the way from Honduras. It hurt Lourdes to see her son do nothing but hurt himself and her family because the money he was spending on alcohol should have been sent back home to help pay for school. Enrique also put his mother down by constantly making her feel guilty for leaving and that she did not deserve to call herself his mother. Looking back at the relationship between them before she left, I thought that their relationship would have been stronger than ever after not seeing each other for years and that he would appreciate the fact that he found her unlike many of the other immigrants that search for years and are still unable to find their family members.…

    Judith Ortiz Cofer's Abuela Invents The Zero

    Finally, when they go home Abuela wants to make Constancia disappear. The tables have turned. Abuela points her finger at her and says in Spanish, “...You made me feel like a zero, like a nothing.” (Cofer 16). Abuela then goes upstairs and locks herself in her room. She tries to explain everything but her mother doesn’t believe anything. Her mother goes into Abuela’s room and hears her side of the story; she comes out with tears in her eyes. She says, “Your grandmother says to tell you that of all the hurtful things you can do to a person, the worst is to make them feel as if they are worth nothing.” (Cofer 18). Then she says, “You should know, Constancia, that if it wasn’t for the old woman whose existence you don’t seem to value, you and I would not be here.” (Cofer 20). Constancia realizes what she has done and reflects on what her grandmother has…

    Year of Wonders

    Anna, who was formally a maid who served for the Mompellions, overcomes her fears and steps up to help out the town of Eyam. She tries to stop the hysteria around Mem and Anys Gowdie, and was the only one who stood up and tried to stop the frightened towns people from drowning Mem Gowdie “I had the satisfaction of having done a thing that had come out right”, her values were fixed in helping others in need. Anna showed devotion in her ability to ‘tend to so many [other] people’. Though Anna doesn’t loose her values she loses her faith “perhaps the plague was neither of God nor Devil, but simply a thing of nature”. Anna attempts to keep hope alive in the town and ease the suffering of the afflicted, as does the rector Michael Mompellion whilst other characters such as Aphra and Josiah whose values change as they take advantage of the plague by misleading others.…

    the Odessey

    Eumaeus is far more loyal to Odysseus than Odysseus is loyal to Penelope. Odysseus, Telemachus, and Eumaeus have just stormed the hall set to attack the suitors. With the help of Eumaeus, Polybus and the cowherd Odysseus uses strategy to surprise the suitors. Fighting side by side Eumaeus and Odysseus hurl spears and javelins into the throng of suitors slaughtering them one by one. In the heat of the battle a spear glances off Eumaeus’ shield and nicks his shoulder. Though wounded Eumaeus fights on like the loyal swineherd he is. “And again those led by the brilliant battle-master hurled their razor spears at the suitors’ ranks—and now Odysseus raider of cities hit Eurydamus, Telemachus hit Amphimedon—Eumaeus, Polybus—and the cowherd stabbed Ctesippus right in the man’s chest and triumphed over his body: ‘Love your mockery, do you? Son of that blowhard Polytherse! No more shooting off your mouth, you idiot, such big talk—leave the last word to the gods—they’re much stronger! Take this spear, this guest-gift, for the cow’s hoof you once gave king Odysseus begging in his house!’” (22.295-305). I find it interesting how Eumaeus, a loyal and innocent swineherd, can harbor such passionate hatred towards the suitors. I think that itself shows how loyal Eumaeus is to Odysseus. He is not even fighting for his kingdom or himself but for Odysseus and Telemachus. He also was injured during the brawl and continued to fight right back, raging at Ctesippus, gouging his chest with a dagger. Penelope, on the other hand, has not been so faithful or loyal to Odysseus. An important example of this is what she let the suitors do to Odysseus’ palace. They went on slaughtering his cattle and swine, swilling his wine, and laying waste to his good name. And all of them with only one immoral intension; to marry Penelope. All the while each night Penelope is mischievously unwinding what she has sewn that day. Eumaeus is willing to lose his life fighting for Odysseus while Penelope is…

    Examine the Ways in Which Rhys Demonstrates How Women Are Victims of a Patriarchal Society in Wide Sargasso Sea.

    Annette feels helplessly imprisoned at the Coulibri estate after the death of her husband, repeating the word ‘marooned’ over and over again. This repetition of the word ‘marooned’ implores sympathy and emphasises imprisonment. Antoinette can be suggested to be doomed to a form of enslavement in her love for and dependency upon her husband. Due to the patriarchal society of the time, the women’s childlike dependence upon both fathers and husbands represents a figurative slavery that is made literal in Antoinette’s physical captivity. It is this childlike dependence on the nearest man that causes the demise of both Antoinette and Annette. Both women marry Englishmen in the hopes of ridding their fears as vulnerable…

    The House of Bernarda Alba

    Without a spouse in the home, Bernarda takes on a patriarchal role and enforces her daughters to do the same. While Bernarda constantly suppresses her daughters to focus on household, patriarchal chores, their emotions shift towards their interest in men and the desire to be wed. By keeping the daughters in the house, fights begin to break out as the sisters lash out at one another. Adela, the youngest daughters, has a rebellious attitude, fueling her actions through her emotions with no filter. In Act 1 for example, after learning that the eldest daughter is soon to be married to Adela’s love interest, she proclaims, “I don’t want to waste away and grow old in these rooms... I want to get out” (220). Those that surround Adela constantly question her actions, especially Poncia, who was originally the only one knew of her affair. Adela becomes increasingly anxious, itching at the chance to be “free” from Bernarda’s wrath. In Act 2, in an argument with Poncia she says, “I wouldn’t fight you -- you’re just a servant -- I’d fight my mother, to put out this fire that rises from my legs and mouth” (237). Here, the fire is not only fueling throughout her body as a symbol of anger building up, but a sign that the fire rises in her legs to run for freedom and rises from her mouth to express all the frustration towards her situation that she has been holding back to spare the feelings of her family.…

    Dialogue Essay: Dying On A Girl

    She couldn't care less about mess that she created with the water as some imbecile was attempting to try something with Silje when it was clearly ridden on her face that she wasn't interested. It was pathetic that men would submit themselves to this twisted enjoyment in making a woman feel inferior. A repulsive behavior that Odetta found absolutely sickening. Like a mother hen, she showed up to defend her friend and looked at the male with disgust. "Think you are some sort of hotshot?" She tilted her head up to face him, standing in front of Silje. "Preying on a girl who is clearly sober enough to know that you are drunken idiot." The blonde wasn't afraid of him, not one bit but anger boiled within his eyes. "Stop walking around like you fucking own the place. When a lady says no, she means it- don't take it as a challenge." A slew of curse words in Norwegian escaped her lips as she watched the man proceeding to yell at her.…
