    Patrick deWitt’s The Sisters Brothers (2011): a satirical deviation from the cowboy western genre “The Wild West has always enticed the readers’ imagination” (Vanja 128). This research paper explores the context of Patrick deWitt’s The Sisters Brothers (2011). DeWitt’s use of a “stylized abstraction of western speech” (Vernon 1) offers its readers a respite from everyday life. Although it follows the traditional scheme of a cowboy western genre, the novel has certain innovations of its own (Vanja 130). The novel is narrated in a gritty 19th Century western speech, which although is sharp and distinctive, allows the story to not always be serious yet not always be funny, making the novel entertaining.…

    Megan Mackenzie’s main reasons for ending the ban on women in combat begins in paragraph 13 where she explains how a women can do the job of a man just as well, the ways they too can create bond with male soldiers, and why diversity in combat continues to be a good thing. Examples such as how trainings are designed for men go to show how women are still capable of qualifying better than some men, taking away any judgment on whether women can handle the job of a man. Another effective example is the studies mentioned on how soldier were able to build brother-sister bonds and avoid any sexual affections towards another, which proved that the effectiveness of groups/united actually increased with women in combat. Mackenzie addresses the opposing…

    Inequality In Canada

    A country cannot be prosperous if it does not treat its citizens the same. There are many methods used to protest inequality such as rallies, riots, and walkouts. None of them are as effective as when the people who are deemed “lesser” are needed during times of crisis. A crisis pushes differences aside and lets the “lesser” portion of the population be equal for the time being, this being exactly how the roles of women changed in Canada during the Second World War. The 1940’s were a time period to change gender roles, and with the desperate reality of war, women were needed more than ever.…

    Sisterhood is Powerful is an anthology “conceived, written, edited, copy-edited, proofread, designed, and illustrated by women” (Morgan, XV) in 1970. The introduction, written by Robin Morgan, discusses the difficulties that were faced while writing this book and why this book was being written. She explains that “five personal relationships were severed, two couples were divorced and one separated, one woman was forced to withdraw her article, by the man she lived with; another’s husband kept rewriting the piece until it was unrecognizable as her own” (Morgan, XV). A lot of the authors used their own personal experiences in this book, which made the book more raw, but also more difficult to write. This book focuses on the Women’s Liberation…
