I Got a Woman

name from something, but he can’t remember what. “ . . . There was a row that nearly reached the newspapers--a suggestion that she had moved her ball from a bad lie in the semi-final round.” Jordan had cheated in her first big golf tournament, but she got away with it. It “approached the proportions of a scandal--then died away,” as Nick says. “A caddy retracted his statement, and the only other witness admitted that he might have been mistaken” (57). She was able to get away with cheating…

really big sin because most of these people don’t understand the pain the women may had to go through in order to make that decision. I’m catholic i have been raised in the roman catholic church since I was a little girl. Maybe that has a big influence on me, but I don't believe in abortion simply because I don't think it’s the right decision. Even though I don't agree with abortion I’m not going to make a women…

with the rest of her family. Shazdeh believed in all of his children being educated and active, even though this wasn’t common for girls at the time. This set Saitti apart from other woman throughout her whole life. Many things interested me about this book and inspired me in different ways. Through this inspiration I got to learn first-hand what a real life was like in Iran when the country was first developing. She talks about the Islamic Revolution…

A Man’s Need I am not sure why this poem stuck out to me so much. Maybe it is because I find the idea of a women’s only job is to wait on a man and to be ready to be molded by any man who comes along sickening. That idea of women being merely objects to men and their sole purpose in this world is to please is extremely disturbing. In “In an Artist’s Studio” by Christina Rossetti she hits the Victorian stereotype of women only being useful if they are “angels”, “saints”, “beautiful”, and…

of Luna Park was ever hungry, greedily swallowing the frantic flow of families. It was then, as we drew closer to the ground, that I noticed a flaw, a great blemish in the rich tapestry of carnival colour. A woman. She sat on a bench beside the duck-shooting gallery. A woman…

and husband Stanley who live in an impoverished section of New Orleans. Blanche superficially may represent a delicate well-bred southern lady, but behind this illusion is a woman reduced to using her looks and sex to gain favors and protection for the last couple of years. For Blanche the reality of that is too harsh to face, “I never was hard or self-sufficient enough. When people are soft—soft people…

The two texts I plan to evaluate are "So Long A Letter" and "Bridge Of Beyond". These two texts share a common idea of "colonialism". Colonialism is expressed as more of a metaphor. Ramatoulaye, Juletane, and Helene are in the middle or relationships where one partner acts as a colonizer, and the other partner is somehow the colony that is being controlled, either physically or emotionally. In Mariama Bâ 's "So Long A Letter" Ramatoulaye, is a school teacher and a feminist in Senegal that…

exchange in which a bystander comes forth and offers validation and recognition to a woman so deep within her own human experience that she fails to follow learned protocols--something that incites judgment and discomfort from those around her, as witnessing such a scene disturbs those existing on a subdued emotional plane. In a cafe, or perhaps a diner, the speaker witnesses the strange curiosity of a young woman failing to follow the protocols of ordering…

Ave train station, there was a woman who needed help with her stroller so I rushed to her aid. I carried the stroller from the entrance of the station to the underground level. After the train ride, as the woman got off the train, she helped an elderly woman with her groceries. In the article, it states “[R]eceiving help reliably increased the likelihood of being generous toward a strangers...were also less susceptible to the bystander effect[.]” Since I helped the woman with her stroller, it…

I really loved this book and how the setting is in medieval times or around there and I love the personalities of the characters. When Kyra went to the palace to steal the ruby for a old man she jumped window to window because the guards would search the roof too I actually thought that it was funny because of how difficult the author said it was and how it made me feel. In some of the chapters I got a little confused with all the names that you learn but I learned them fast When Kira gets…
