It was exciting at first, the long car ride (I love long car rides because I love the snacks we get), then the hotel, and then the twist of fate. Before I tell what happened, I need to explain everything that led up to it. This experience helped me realize that not everyone is FIRST. On my way back from my dad’s house my dad seemed a little on edge. I asked him what’s wrong and he said he was disappointed in me. I asked why and…

She felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. It was from Thane. “DND tonight?” Thane asked. Trinity grimaced at the…

That when the severity of the illness sunk into her. She shattered when she saw the stands of charcoal black hair that were woven into the hairbrush. Radiation therapy uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors (“American Cancer Association”). One of the women I met at the walkathon had radiation therapy. They go through a machine that kills the cancer cells using radiation. Radiation therapy doesn’t only kill cancerous cells through. The woman that I met at the…

This work can be analyzed from a reader’s point of view of Marxism and New Historicism…

Cultural pressures for women to follow their heritages can be a form of prison, but if they are brave enough to break tradition, their freedom awaits. Maxine Hong Kingston, Sandra Cisneros, and Alice Walker give us a glimpse into three different families where women are oppressed by the traditions of their male dominated cultures. The common theme connecting “No Name Woman,” “Woman Hollering Creek,” and “Every Day Use,” is that overbearing men are the reason that women cannot have absolute…
