Kitchen

This analogy is meant to contextualize the poem as one being given by a black American in a time when race determines your role. He then notes how he is sent “to eat in the kitchen” when company arrives. Hughes is using a form of metonymy where the company represents the white Americans, and the black person being sent to the kitchen symbolizes how black people are constantly being denied the opportunities given to white people. In addition, Hughes uses this metonymy to strike a resemblance to…

Why is it that the powerful dominate over the weak? Is it because the weak don't push for their rights? Or maybe is it because we don't have the strength, the anger, the frustration to fight. Whether it's the anger about segregation of whites and black or women not being treated equally or slaves saddened by their captivity, all these people have to push for their rights. Over the past few hundred years, many different cultures have been…

“Oh, this is going to be SO good,” Craig said. “So motherfucking good.” Rebecca sat on the kitchen counter and smiled at her burly, tattooed brother. This was the perfect plan and the perfect way to ask Ian, her soon-to-be ex-husband, for a divorce. Just yesterday, Rebecca had spilled her guts to her brother. After holding it in for a decade, she told him about the hell she’d lived in for the past ten years, since she'd gotten married at age nineteen. She talked about the affairs she’d…

follow their dreams, whether it’s because of the lack of opportunity or failing to work hard for it. Statistic says that only 31 percent of Americans actually enjoy their job. Growing up, I had the privileged to see my grandmother and mother in the kitchen. The passion I saw in their eyes while they cooked for the family, motivated me to learn. My mother always told me, “cooking is an art, you can always make it your own invention. You are your own limitation, let your creativity run free.…

in the kitchen looking out for her husband and putting his needs before their own.” When I was younger I had no other choice in believing in this; especially since I always saw my mother, great grandmother, and all the other women in my family do this. It was a belief that we all grew up with; a belief that I began to accept, but also came to question. Growing up wasn’t easy, I grew up doing chores around my house. For instance, cleaning the toilets, dusting, vacuuming, cleaning the kitchen,…

In the bluest eye a little girl receives a doll for Christmas that she doesn’t want. Throughout the story she complains about the expectations placed on her and rebels by treating the doll and others differently than the way people expect her to. Toni Morrison uses the Christmas gift, the doll, to highlight what she perceives to be proof that gender is socially constructed and is used to control women. When the little girl receives the doll for Christmas she is unsure how to act towards it and…

It doesn’t necessarily mean the couple has to be poor, but it is possible if they were more well off it would most likely have said large kitchen or not made any reference to the size at all. Again, these details are being used to inform the reader. The fact they have a kitchen and a living room and all this stuff shows how…

reenact the waltz through the house because he has been drinking too much. The son, and father have a close relationship because he doesn’t call him dad or “father” like most do. The young boy calls him “papa” in the poem as he helps him through the kitchen. Since papa is drunk again, the mom who is also there does not help him, and doesn’t even bother. Only mentioning she is not happy and can’t unfrown her expression. That’s where you can sense that this is not the first time that “papa” has…
