Raheem can’t be in a relationship because he’s going to end up breaking his girlfriend’s heart. If the author would have written Raheem as a nice and loyal guy the story would have been much better. Raheem is a selfish guy who doesn’t care about his relationship with girls and would yell and hit a girl when he is also a player. He would probably cheat on all of his

The two families involved in this film have core differences and the conflict that occurs between them stems from gender, class, and religious issues.

    Analysis Of Like A Girl

    • 1450 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Whether intentionally or not, especially as a male, we all have used the term “like a girl” without a shadow of concern about the ramifications of such words. Our obnoxious preface that girls may be inferior, as evident by the phrase, has sadly been apparent since youth and changes the schema in which both genders view the world at hand. The people over at Always have created a campaign centered on the rhetoric of counter-thinking societal clichéd views. Growing up as male within a predominately female family (both immediate and extended) allowed me to see the fault in this line of thinking. Seeing athletic, intellectual or artistic abilities being dependent on the person rather than their gender for which my family proves time after time.…

    It is a story that had been played out thousands of times- the differences between men and women that are exploitable. Whether it is the general consensus the men are strong, capable, and autonomous, while women are weak, fragile, and stuck. Or in ancient mythology where the lovers that represent the Earth and sky, are separated. This story is once again told in Toni Morrison’s “Song of Solomon”. The men and women in this book are represented in the same stereotypical fashion, where women serve at the pleasure of a man to help him along on his path to greatness.…
