Lauren Olamina Analysis

Decent Essays
I agree with you on this topic of right vs. wrong in the case of Lauren Olamina. I feel the same she is so interesting in this way she knows right from wrong. Lauren has a big conscience I believe she is able to see that maybe that guy if he was able to roast his potato on their coal, they may have been taken advantage of later on. Then her helping people in need, this is her. I can see her personality in these situations, which also relate back to the environment she has grown up in. She knows right from wrong and chooses when she will show it. I also found it easy to tell throughout the book that she is much different than most people she knows and

    In this essay I will be discussing the experiences and traits of both Cheryl and April Raintree, and how I personally relate to them. The sisters are two very strong women, as displayed by Cheryl standing up for her beliefs and her pride in her identity, as well as April's resilience even in the toughest times. To begin, Cheryl's character is a strong, independent woman who knows what is right and will challenge those who don't respect her opinions and beliefs. The scene in chapter 4 where Cheryl talks back to her teacher is a prime example of said quality; even when sent to the principals office and had Mrs. DeRosier called, the young Cheryl stood her ground because she knew she was right. This trait resonates with me because I…

    Lisa Wilson Strick begins her essay with a comment from her son, and a list of activities she does badly, to help set up her contrasting views on how seriously one's hobbies should be taken. Throughout her essay, she continues to point out how competitive people are nowadays while participating in activities that were once solely for leisure, and how in the past everything was much simpler. Her response to her son's criticism on how badly she plays the piano shows that she cares more about having fun rather than worrying over how well she is progressing in her hobbies. That is what Strick believes should truly matter, and is the basis of her thesis.…

    Linda Belleville Analysis

    My personal response to the Egalitarian views of Linda Belleville and Craig Keener is varied. When reading and learning from Belleville I would go from understanding and personally align in thought, to feeling her view was somewhat stretching for me especially when other references were used outside of scripture. I was able to follow Keener closer, but this could be based on my up bringing in the evangelical church. It was very helpful to learn from Belleville the difference between egalitarianism and feminism and that they are not the same view. That feminism minimalizes sexual distinction and egalitarians affirm sexual distinction and that they are equal yet complementary.…
