    In the book the Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, the author shows that people can be greatly damaged at a young age, and they will be too young and innocent to completely know what they had just experienced and they won't exactly know how to treat it or how to react. “I didn't really kiss him, or at least it didn't count. My eyes have been open the entire time.” (Wall 86) I thought this was important because it shows a certain type of innocence in Jeanette, and how young she was when this boy decided that sexually harassing her would make him seen cooler, or it seemed like he almost wanted a prize.…

    “A hundred times a day there is a voice in my head that screams Help me. The voice comes from a tiny woman in my chest encased in a soundproof glass column, pouding on the walls, begging for someone to notice her” (Waite 150). Each and every word is placed so delicately in the book, such as Mother Nature would place petals gently on a stem to make something magnificent, a beautiful flower. Flowers are the physical object that the reader can relate to this novel. So beautiful, so delicate but when mistreated; they wilt, crumple and brown, becoming terrible.…

    Suddenly, “he [recognizes] the blazing building as his own home” (409), and the true awfulness of what has occurred there begins to dawn on his young mind. Ultimately, he finds “the dead body of a woman” (410), who he recognizes as his mother – a horrible experience for the child. But the reader’s horror continues as Bierce details the scene even more graphically: “The greater part of the forehead [is] torn away, and from the jagged hole the brain [protrudes], overflowing the temple, a frothy mass of gray, crowned with clusters of crimson bubbles – the work of a shell!”…

    In doing so, Swift, not only exposes Gulliver’s enormous phallus to the vulnerable Empress he also compels the reader to imagine the arrogance and patriarchal nature of colonialism; Gulliver, having earlier consumed copious amounts of glimigrim, exclaims: ‘By the luckiest chance in the world. I had not discharged myself...the heat I had contracted by coming very near the flames, and by my labouring to quench them, made the wine begin to operate my urine’ (Swift, 1992, p. 54). Gulliver is not only subverting the authority of Lilliputian propriety he is also asserting himself, albeit unwittingly, as the dominant male, marking his territory; the significance of Gulliver’s display not lost on his nemesis Flimnap. A feminist reading, perhaps, might conclude that Gulliver’s phallocentric display symbolises the dependent female rescued by unashamed, swashbuckling, machismo; the ‘othering’ of the vagina by the colonial penis. Moreover, the violation of the empress and Gulliver’s subsequent punishment draw similar parallels to that of Oedipus.…
