In Boxers & Saints, by Gene Luen Yang, main characters Bao and Four-Girl are motivated by separate goals: Bao is focused on ridding foreign devils from China, while Four-Girl aspires to become one. Their goals differ, but nonetheless, both are driven by a love for what they do—whether…

because there isn’t. The museum has a plethora of women as subjects, but they only seem to only display women painted by men. Two paintings that really stood out to me were Portrait of María Luisa Gabriela of Savoy painted by Miguel Jacinto Meléndez and Saint Justa by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. Despite the face they completely different women, Justa and Maria Luisa Gabriela of Savoy’s portraits were both painted to appease the standards of proper feminine women in the eyes of men.

shouldn't be anything new, as children we learn from our parents and those around us, how to act and in the end who we are. Gene Luen Yang's Boxers & Saints follows the Boxer uprising of 1898 in China. It was a time when the Chinese people were forced to chose who they identified with, their fellow countrymen or with the foreign Christians.

The Rule of Saint Benedict is a book of precepts written by Benedict of Nursia for monks living communally under the authority of an abbot, specifically those in the monastery he founded at Monte Cassino. A rule itself provides stability of community, encourages self-sufficiency and combines spirituality with practicality.

For the Saints and the Roughnecks, class was a big factor into how resistance was accepting in school for one group and not the other. Being seen as good students, who were involved in a variety of activities, the Saints, who were upper-middle class, were able to skip class and participate in deviant behavior because they hid behind a façade. As well, they had access to more resources, for example cars, that allowed them the luxury to avoid getting caught. The community responded harsher to…
