Little Girl

are many things I see as the day goes on. At the start of the day a nice girl with hair as golden as a shining sun sets me in her wallet. She’s nice when her thin fingers make every inch of my crisp, green body flat in the tight pocket so I do not wrinkle. There are other dollar bills in here with me. They seem friendly enough, but as I try to say hello they do not answer. Before I can even ask why, we stop moving and the girl pulls us all out. It’s nice to be able to breathe again without…

influences reading). According to this statement, the point of view determines a lot for characters. This is why switching from telling the story from Mama’s point of view to Dee’s or Maggie’s point of view would make such a difference. Dee comes off a little harsh in some parts of the story. For example towards the end of the story when Mama tells her no for the first time, Dee leaves and says, “Your heritage,’ she said, and then she turned to Maggie, kissed her, and said, ‘You ought to try to…

portrayal of women have the most influence in my life. The twisted ideals that have been held up for years have molded my mindset and my self esteem through popular tv shows, movies, music, and toys. For example most girls grew up playing with Barbie and Ken dolls, but as a little girl I was never allowed to get Barbies because they were too expensive. I was allowed to get Polly Pocket dolls, which were cheap, knock-offs, in my mind, because nothing compared to Barbie. Barbie, at the time, was…

important part of the daily Venezuelan culture. So much so that, if you ask any Venezuelan girl what she wants to be when she grows up, she is very likely to respond, "una miss”. As seen in the documentary, in Venezuela it is very easy to find beautiful women in all places, of any race and social class, and it is not uncommon for there to be as many modeling academies because as I mentioned before, many little girls dream of being misses. But, how much do these participants really go through or…

could properly hear how the two girls interacted between each other. I noticed that the “block girl” would pick out three or four cut-outs for her board and whatever she did not use the other girl would ask to use. This lead me to believe that the other girl did not really know what she wanted to make but was instead just putting the left overs to her board, which was strange becuase the pile of cut-out was rather large and there was no need to just use what the other girl did not. The caregiver…

notes themselves aren't enough, and neither was I. In the summer of 2004, I was a shy five-year-old little girl. I would adventure the outdoors with my twin brother and we would always follow the precedent of my older siblings. Unfortunately, I decided to look to two of my older siblings at the wrong moment. In the backyard of our house, we own…

experience I observed a kindergarten class. The class included 24 students, the teacher, and the student teacher. When I entered the classroom, I was very impressed on how clean it was. The students were able to move around the very well, but it was a little tough for the adults. The students were located in the middle of the room at 4 tables, each seating 6 students. The teacher was located in the back corner by the window. This gave her an excellent panoramic view of all her students in…

choices. This way she can do what is beneficial to her and what will allow her to live the life she imagined for herself. In addition, when a woman is given agency, she not only benefits from it, but the economy and later generations do as well. In “The Girl Effect,” Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn discuss how eliminating gender inequalities and empowering women can lead to a boost in economy and a boost of hope and confidence in generations to come. Often, women do not have the resources to…

rays fanned out pointing in every direction. It was then that a voice spoke deep inside me in a way I cannot describe on paper. I heard that voice with what I would call the ears of the heart. The voice was gentle, loving and strong. “You loved this girl but I loved her even before she was born and I loved her more in this life then you could ever love her. They have other children and the children have each other. I gave my only son so that they could have a future. I understand what it is…
