Powerful women don’t fare well in histories when looked at through the lens of a patriarchal society. It speaks volumes that Visenya Targaryen is still respected by the Maesters as both a Warrior and a Queen and not dismissed because she’s “on her moonblood.” The Conquest was not a solo project, yet her brother got the credit in the stories while his sisters got hills in Kings Landing named after them. She was a founding mother that helped set the stage for everyone that followed her. She is…

The Power of Doubt "At the bottom of great doubt lies great awakening. If you doubt fully, you will awaken fully" (5). With these words Hakuin Ekaku, one of the most influential figures of Buddhism, expresses how doubt can trigger the truth in different situations.

Okay, so storming out on Giles and Spike probably hadn't been the best idea. Deep breaths weren't working, Buffy felt cornered and trapped, and betrayed. Slayers slay and Watchers...sabotage? Lie? Poison you? Make you feel delusional, like you got all the bad parts of destiny, and none of the good? Giles had been stammering after her; Buffy could still hear the swing of the library doors over Giles' repeated calls of her name, and all his English pleading. It made her feel sick to think…

She loses her innocence by completely destroying Miss Lottie's marigold patch. After this event she then began to feel compassionate and cared for people.…

Modest Marriage The proposal is arguably the most critical component in a traditional marriage. From two different novels, the speaker of each passage utilizes differing methods of proposing marriage to his intent by means of attitude, diction, and reasoning.
