The Amazonian Figure: A Short Story

Improved Essays
noticing her Amazonian figure, how well it sits on her slim toned body. Her complexion had an impeccable, peachy hue.
Her neatly waxed eyebrows, exquisitely poised above her brilliantly blue eyes, which always seemed to sparkle with a ‘joie de vivre’ like two blue jewels melted onto snow. Then how quickly they switched to cold corpses, void of life, like looking into the eyes of the devil himself.
A sculptor could not have fashioned her sprite ears and pixie’s nose any better. Her lips plump, dusky pink, shaped into the perfect heart. Bet they tasted good, Ivy reflected, as she took herself to her own room, lay on her bed and began concocting her plans.

    That night, I find I want this beauty to last because it seems more powerful than any beauty I’ve had before. Being pretty like this is stronger than any drug I’ve tried (6). Despite this positive viewpoint, Chee has also felt uncomfortable under the gaze at certain points, which still plays an important role in the overall experience of being viewed. The loving attention he receives while walking down the street can easily take a dark turn, and in his writing, he acknowledges there is always some sense of danger (9).…

    Opening the once lonely door, there was a hallway that seemed to have just rejoiced with a once depriven necessity. As striking as the first rose in spring, her silky, soft, shiny hair combined with her enticingly exquisite eyes produced a sublime look; it instantly ejected any pressure in the room. Her presence would’ve even made an angry person hopeful. Withered by time, the plethora of thin liable cracks scattered across the olive-dyed floors and indigo walls with an antique circular pattern ; this house was old enough to live in a pangea . However, there was a skeptical sense of suspicion of this person.…

    “Those who had before known her, and had expected to behold her dimmed and obscured by a disastrous cloud, were astonished, and even startled, to perceive how her beauty shone out, and made a halo of the misfortune and ignominy in which she was enveloped. It may be true that, to a sensitive observer, there was something exquisitely painful in it” (Hawthorne). In The Scarlet Letter, a main theme that can be taken from Hester Prynne’s situation is that of self-identity. Hester was meant to suffer under the eyes of the public.…

    She sees the look of realization on the faces of the ones who have caused her so much pain as the questions are “like a blow on the face.” Her anger is brief but powerful as she drowns in the weight of her grief once more when she sees the “dying” and “neglect” of her children. Given our knowledge of generic conventions such as personification, symbolism, and historical context, the reader is given an even better understanding of the underlying theme and message of the…

    “My sweet little blue-eyed girl,” he said in a half-sung sigh that had nothing to do with her brown eyes but was taken up just the same by the vast sunlit reaches of the land behind him and on all sides of him—so much land that Connie had never seen before and did not recognize except to know that she was going to it.” (Carol Oats, Pg 10) All of the land that she saw was unbelievable, it reached all the way out one her line of sight, all Connie could see were clouds, beautiful trees, animals running throughout, birds happily humming their song and perfectly cut grass that was pulchritudinous flowers. Connie looked around in disbelief, with wide eyes. Her eyes lit up, it was the most wonderful place she has ever seen. She looked at Arnold, but he was not there.…

    Marge Piercy’s, “Barbie Doll,” uses a variety of literary elements including language, tone, and irony, to discuss the treatment, or rather mistreatment of women in our world. The girl in the poem ends up killing herself after being harassed for her lack of feminine charm, the poem written in 1973 makes the reader question the way women are viewed and the heavy repercussions these expectations may carry. Piercy’s view of the way the world treats young girls is illustrated through the language she uses in the first stanza. By using the word, “girlchild” to describe the newly born baby, the reader wonders if the gender was a disappointment to the parents. Rather than just saying girl or child, Piercy combines the two, creating a sort of flip term to reference the oppressed more “delicate” sex.…

    Reconciliation Interrupted by the faint sounds of birds chirping and grass swaying in the gentle breeze, the calming silence became a distant memory. As the birds flapped their wings, moving at the edge of the tiny meadow, from one tree to the next, they cast their shadows over the body of a small brown skinned, black haired girl. She lay on her back in the hilltop grass, facing directly up towards the almost blinding light of the afternoon sun. Her dark skin, holding a lively warm glow, reflected the rays of sunlight off of her quickly flickering eyelids. Suddenly, they were open, revealing her dark brown almond shaped eyes and her ever so slightly off white sclera.…
