I Got a Woman

That’s a horse of a different color. You’ve got it made in the shade. Now we’re cooking with gas. Don’t get your gall bladder in an uproar. Say your alphabet; A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O? Q R S T U V W X Y Z. Where is the P? Running down my leg. If that were a snake it’d bite you. What is read, white and read all over? A newspaper. What is black, white, and red all over? A blushing zebra reading a newspaper. Two flies cruising down the river in an old tomato can. The flies above all sing…

The past two weeks I have worked at northshore maternity and national womens community midwives. During my week at northshore it was incredibly busy and understaffed. I also remember thinking at times, where has the midwifery gone? We were so busy rushing around trying to provide safe and quality care to the women, but that fact is I feel we were too busy, with too larger case loads to provide true midwifery care. I cared for many day 1-2 sections, women with large blood losses requiring blood…

When I was twelve year of age, I faced the challenge of breaking my right foot. Therefore I had to overcome everyday tasks and obstacles like mobility and sanitation. These challenges impacted my everyday well-being which was difficult to coup and become accustom to. My options became scarce due to my mobility which was the greatest challenge of the all. It all started in the summer of 2013 when I was riding my bicycle around my neighborhood with my brother and sister. We decided to separate…

people start to gather in the crowd. I can slightly make out my mom’s voice; she’s in a panic with blood all over her. The last thing I remember is fighting with my dad. As I think back, he was with a woman. This woman was not my mom but he came gave her flowers and kissed her. As my mind jumped to he was having an affair, she looked to be pregnant. My dad’s head turned for a second and caught me staring, his face turned white as snow. He had come to realize I saw the whole thing. A tear…

Sandra Cisneros in her story The House on Mango Street is male and female gender roles. In the vignette, My Hair, Esperanza states, "the Mexicans, don't like their women strong". What the author means by this is that in Mexico it is common that the woman stay home, cook, clean, and take care of the children while the husband goes to work. In this situation, and really any other, the women is considered weak and is expected to obey the husband. It is not uncommon that the husband abuses the wife…

I visited the Museum of Modern Art on October 9th. It was a very rainy day, but the museum was very crowded. I had never been to a museum of this type before; I have never been really interested in “art”. While at the museum I was amazed to see how intricate the works of art were, even though I didn’t always understand what the work was meant to be or meant to explain I admired the work put into them. After walking around confused trying to decide which piece I would like to analyze, I found…

glimpses into the societies of that they represented, Chun’hyang was something I feel passionate about. Even with the happy ending, it made me angry. Other works studied touched me in many ways, but this one actually got a major reaction. I found myself actually wanting to yell. I was irate that such a loyal woman would be tested by her husband. Especially after all she went through. In my original essay I wasn’t clear. This woman stood up to someone higher in rank than her, someone who had the…
