Tough decision

I have made a decision that I am going to be a Christian but my parent disagreed on the account of their belief in Buddhism . Therefore, they tried to take a way my freedom of religion; thus they violated my civil right. That was why I brought it to the Supreme Court and of course the judges ruled in my favor because they were all religious bias. My decision was completely right because I was proud of being a Christian. From on, sometime my parent mocked at my decision; I was just confident to say my prayer.

LIfe on the Mississippi

The Life on the Mississippi by Mark Twain depicted the how people associate with the river and how different it is used from different people. Significantly, agriculture and transportation are the main usage of the people.Twain indirectly mocks at the people when he compares them to the Genesis who could separate the water from the land not literally. Most of his novels, including The Life on the Mississippi, often describe the lives of southerner people as they are depicted in Huckleberry Finn. Nationalism is the common theme in both of the book. For instance, Twain portrays how immense the Mississippi is and racism in America. Yes, according to him, they felt proud of being an American on account of this reason. In other work, they are too proud to have a huge river and to be a superior race.

The Life Of Mark Twain

Mr. Mailer

Dear Mr. Mailer,

Do you realize the utmost importance of the role of the female within today’s society and household? It’s because of our gender that we are a degraded populous within our communities. It is because of men like you, with the constant and numerous prejudices against women like us, that we continue to be witnessed as a lower source. We have much more than brains and character, and we are more than just creatures with models of mind that turn this way and that in response to the orders of male men of our nation and world. When you discuss how a woman’s novel would not captivate your interest unless it be of some sort of whore’s account of her life, you do not realize the strenous efforts we must go through to push forth our “intellectual freedom” by producing material things. Only through the means of producing books, to discuss our importance and our educational abilities, and other goods such as clothing and our capability of doing as much as men could in the workforce, could we ever dream of our society’s upbringing and eventual acceptance. You claim that we are always fated to die as a population and or community, and that from the start that we are negatively perceived by the male populous. But indeed, you are falsely acuted, for women, being inventors and creators of poetry, we always and continuously will live. Great poets do not die.”They are continuing presences; they need only the opportunity to walk among us in the flesh. This opportunity, as I think, it is now coming within your power to give her.”

She is a writer ?

From Norman Mailer's point of view, women are always unable to write a good "novel" because they have been the sexual subjects of men. Furthermore, Norman concluded all the thems in women's novel are hackneyed on the account that they are "too dykily psychotic, crippled, creepish, fashionable" . Not even an "exciting women" can make Norman interested in reading novels because he is too arrogant about his writing style; hence, women are inferior to man who has the remnant of his ball. Indirectly , he preferred the stereotype that woman are affected by the society to write all the cliche novel. Obviously, I never have the same view as he had.

The Hours

1. Describe the three female characters in great detail? What do they have in common?

How do they differ? How does their era influence who they are?

Virginia Woolf

The author of the book who was jealous of her sister because she has the children. Her family members didn’t realize what she really need according to Virgina. To her , death is the way to escape the miserable live, so it assists people in creating a new fresh one as living in heaven.

Lora:

She is depressed and find a way to end it by killing themselves but later she determine to kill someone else. She decided to live because of her son ‘s love. In brief she has to hide her true feeling and desperately to let it out. In addition to that, she abandoned her family to find her true happiness. When a person “has no choice”, she nor he should regret.

Miss Delaware:

She was enduring to see her beloved Richard suffering AIDS. Her relationship with Richard was somehow mysterious on the account that they didn’t live together.Just like Woolf and Lora, Delaware too tends to bear the miserable life and not regret it

They are interested in literature as the “devise” to avoid reality. Duel to the fact that men tend to control their life, they start to love each other ,not it the sexual way. Thus they are all controlled like a puppet in their life.

2.Compare/Contrast these female characters with the female characters from the

literature weʼve read.

First of all, the women intend to have a happy life through many method because the society is dominated by men; hence, the women are controlled like a toy. The three women in The hour choose their unhappy lives by escape the reality through literature or sometime attempt to end their lives. In the other word , they are independent from their husband. As opposed to this, the female characters from the literature we’ve read mostly depend on the men . For instance, Abigael in the Crucible and Mattie in Ethan Frome need the men to benefit their lives.

The yellowish wallpaper

The narrator of the story turns insane because she is under a lot of pressure to please her husband.

1. "The haunted house" some how take away her "romantic felicity".

2. Her husband doesn't believe that she is "sick"

3. She is forbidden to write.

4. Her husband never spend time with her, so she is lonely.

5. She spends a lot time to watch people, thus she has a lot of imagination

6. She attempted to catch the female ghost.

7. Her husband fainted when noticing she ties herself to the bed.

8. She is so excited to reveal the secret.

9. She bites the bed with her teeth.

10. She crept over her husband many time without knowing that he is her husband.

Story of the second

The Story of the Hour by Kate Chopin and Ethan From by Edith Wharton both tell the story of the human dissatisfaction of their marriage and the death is the only resolution. Believe or not, Edith Wharton describes her male character as young as the female ,created by Kate Chopin. They both feel free as their partners pass away. However , the female protagonist has a lot pleasure as the result of her husband 's death ; she is a moral women and not even depressed as Ethan who desperate to end his life with death.

Monstrous joy that she enjoys seem contradict her morality. Opposed to this , Ethan doesn't have the sense of conscience when he decided to leave his wife. Thus sex boundary establish different emotion or philosophy of human being. Each author attempt to dig in this subject and success this objective. For female, they want to be independent but remorse to leave their husband. Nevertheless, for male, they just want to have new love.
