Analysis Of An Open Letter To My Lover's Ex

Great Essays
An open letter to my lover’s ex.

I’ve found myself compelled to respond to you. As I sat reading the powerful essay you wrote about being a Christian against Trump, I found myself sobbing.

Now I’d assume you’d find your essay powerful because you are defying the social background you grew up in for what you believe is right. Well it’s not. It’s another fluff piece that promises a warrior against hate. Expect in no way do you actual voice how you will impact the world around beyond being empty words. Perhaps I sound critical but when you analyze your essay it’s just you trying to be topical and current. In no way do you actually make any sort of claim as to how you will achieve standing up for what is right. In fact your essay just says you think all people matter.

But that is a lie. Not all people matter to you. My feelings don 't matter to you. My lover’s feelings and psyche don’t matter to you. His family, our friends, none of us matter to you. If

It gave you the attention and validation you crave so deeply. It’s the same reason you cling to every popular trend but as soon as they fade you delete them from your Instagram. It’s the same reason you sell yourself online as a digital prostitute. You have no real self, you lie for attention. You cling to a made up story because it justifies your behavior without thought of who it effects.

I wish so much you’d just go away. So everyone can heal from all the lies you have concocted, but you just keep making things worse. You post more lies, dredging up a past so many pray could just become memory.

So let me make something clear to you:
You don’t stand for what is right and you don’t help the cause for assault victims. You add to the hate in this world. You nearly destroyed a man’s life. You are nothing better than the monsters of this world that your essay

    Peggy McIntosh describes and lists the white privileges that an individual of that ethnic background obtains over an individual of a different ethnic background. McIntosh identifies some of the effects of white privilege and how it shapes her life. I, like McIntosh, am white and most, if not all, of what she lists additionally applies to my life. For instance, she states “I can criticize my government without fear and being seen as an outsider, I can go shopping alone assured that I will not be harassed, and I can turn on the television and see people of my race widely and positively represented.” I chose these three statements due to the fact that they are extremely applicable in my life.…

    Oppressed people need to set themselves apart from the rest - they need to realize that being different does not make them any less of a human being, or less fortunate. When oppressed people come to terms with this, they will be able to reflect this to others and not settle for what “has always been”, but rather pride themselves in their distinction, and take steps towards making a difference. In “Just Walk On By: A Black Man Ponders”, Brent Staples shares a personal experience on how he had to conform, to everyone’s perception of a black man, instead of standing up for himself. He had to put on a façade to make others feel comfortable so as to avoid grave risks to himself and the community. Brent Staples was oblivious of the fact…

    Systems of Privilege and Inequality With an over arching theme of oppression, chapter two seeks to explore the different intersections of privilege, or lack thereof, as well at the effects in current society. “Towards a New Vision” by Patricia Hill Collin, “White Privilege and Male Privilege” by Peggy McIntosh, and “There is No Hierarchy of Oppression”, by Audre Lord all sought to end the belief that oppression only happens to one group of people and that oppression should be ranked. Throughout all of the essays one theme ran throughout; everyone experiences some form of oppression and when society begins ranking oppression everyone ends up losing. Patricia Hill Collins’s “Towards a New Vision” was written in 1993 and discusses race, class…

    In the literacy narrative, I explained my experience with growing up thinking I was not as smart as the other kids and how I overcame my fear of not being good enough and how that made me a more determined worker. I think my strength is putting the reader in my shoes to show what it was like being put in the special group. However, I think my essay can be improved towards the end of the essay with the conclusion and a better transition to it.

    The article “White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” was written to inform the reader about white privilege and male privilege. It states that men necessarily do not realize that they hold an advantage over women just as though whites do not always realize they are more privileged than blacks. The author Peggy McIntosh thoroughly describes that just by being born with white skin, you automatically are at an advantage over someone who was not born white. She also explains that men do in fact recognize women’s status in the world and will do certain things to improve it. However, they are unwilling to do anything to lessen their own privilege.…
