A Woman In Mannville Analysis

“My strength did not come from lifting weights. My strength came from lifting myself up when I was knocked down,”-Bob Moore. This quote demonstrates that people gain emotional strength from fighting through adverse experiences. This concept is shown in the texts “ The Story of Green-Blanket Feet”, an excerpt from Spider Woman's Granddaughter by Humishima, and the text Mary Rowlandson, an excerpt from “From a Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson.” Both women go through similar difficult situations, however, they both find strength in protecting things close to them and they both come out of their difficult situations stronger. This concludes that a person’s greatest strength is protecting what they love. Green Blanket Feet gained her strength in protecting her children and Mary Rowlandson found her strength in protecting her religion.

Mary Rowlandson, A Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary, is a short story in which the main character Mrs. Marty Rowlandson is taken captive by a group of Native American warriors. Native American warriors open the beginning of the narrative by massacring and setting fire to the stead in which the author was living. The narrator develops throughout the narrative, beginning from when she was first taken as a captive until ultimately ending her story upon her final exodus. Although the story is written in hindsight the author uses Biblical quotes to help her, as well any future potential readers understand American colonialism. Through the usage imagery, pathos, and ethos appeal the author uses quotes from the bible to control the way in which the people involved are portrayed to the audience

After reading “Yellow Woman” a sense of mystery is imposed on the readers. The story itself is very short and dreamlike. It is as if there is no beginning to the story. The narrator wakes up on the sand of a river bank next to a man she does not know. The man known as Silva acts very strangely towards her throughout the entire story. He is always laughing and smiling while at the same time forcing the narrator to do what he wants. By the same token, the narrator never puts up any sort of a fight to leave. The Narrator in the story knowingly follows Silva’s every word even knowing deep down she knows that she probably shouldn’t. She uses her time with him as an escape from her own

From the beginning, she showed her prejudice by referring to the Indians as “wolves” and “beasts”. Arguably, one can make the point that she had just lost her sister, friends, she was injured, and she was carrying her wounded child. But can we trust a description of the Indians that is filtered through the lens of Puritan prejudice? Of course, there is a larger question than whether or not Mary Rowlandson was justified in her hostility to the Indians; an attitude which, by the way, she did moderate sometimes during her ordeal. But the real question is whether we can trust the information she presents about Indian behavior and practices while she was a captive. Did she, intentionally or not, twist the facts? The expectation is that the person

“Mother” starts her story rather ferociously telling her husband, “I ain’t goin’ into the house till you tell me what them men are doin’ over there in the field” (Freeman, 10). Unfortunately, Adoniram Penn is building a new barn on the site set aside for her new home 40 years earlier. “Father” tells her he wants her to “go into the house...an’tend to [her] own affairs” (Freeman, 10). Mary Wilkins Freeman purposefully writes Adoniram telling Sarah her place is in the house with the children and he wants her to stay there. Freeman wants her women readers to relate to this situation of male dominance. When Sarah does finally revolt the significance of that revolt will have a deeper meaning for Freeman’s readers, they want Sarah to outwit her husband. Adoniram does not quite recognize the woman he married for who she really is. Sarah Penn was more than willing to take on the role of wife and mother as long as he fulfilled his role as provider for the family and his promise of a new house was still an option. When he went back on his word of building her home Adoniram received a glimpse of the true woman he married. When the reader looks closely at her there is a strength of character Sarah Penn cannot hide forever. Freeman writes that Sarah “looked as if the meekness had been the result of her own will, never the will of another” (Freeman, 10).

In the novel Girl in Hyacinth Blue by Susan Vreeland we see the story of this painting, painted by Johannes Vermeer. The author, however, takes a different approach to tell us this story. The story starts off in the present day and ends about where the painting was all started. This means that Susan chose to write in reverse chronological order, telling the story from finish to start.

The conclusion of "Good Country People" does offer a wrap up of the story, but it may fail to offer closure to some readers.

Critical readers come to find

The minute a chance of possibility comes forward the best thing to do is to accept it. Specifically why would anyone want band things to continue if there is a chance it could get better. Ms. Pattillo was chosen to integrate to an all white school, notwithstanding the risks that came along. (Pattillo). Of course everyone is scared of change, but isn’t it always for the better? An allergy is known for damaging the body which people tend to compare positivity with allergy, isn’t that negativity? (Onderko). Anne Frank always tended to have a positive attitude even though her family's situation was awful. (Goodrich and Hackett).

With calories in food items being so high, and people being so unaware of this, this leads to the unhealthiness/inactiveness of individuals. According to Katherine Harmon from Scientific American, children and families that eat out a lot are specifically affected, but changes in environment could be key. Harmon explains that we should start by teaching children healthy lifestyles to live by. If we start with children, then it can change a whole generation. Adding calories to menus can also make big difference on people who eat out regularly, according to the University of Technology Sydney, due to the calorie counts making customers more aware of what they are actually eating. Similarly, people need to be aware of how important calories are.

Carol Mortland in Transforming Refugees in Refugee Camps applies Turner’s model of liminality and rite of passage to the people who “move from one society to another, between cultural, linguistic, ethnic, even national and social groups” which makes the model useful to describe the transformation of refugees in the camps. At first, she identifies several ways her model might differ from the original concept of liminality and then emphasizes the features of the refugee camp which are consistent with it. Unlike Turner’s analysis, in case of refugees, one cannot observe reintegration and “return to the normal order of things” since that order have never been familiar and normal for refugees. Although individuals and groups challenge existing beliefs

A Romantic writer uses emotion and sensation to portray desire. Edgar Allen Poe used it to convey a love that exceeds death. In his poem “Annabel Lee”, Poe speaks of a painful memory. Poe’s narrator seems like a reasonable guy, except for the fact that he likes to sleep beside a corpse every night. This however, is where the poem becomes intriguing. What would make someone feel such an extreme love? The narrator worships “Annabel”. He feels that not only death can keep them apart. Even though Edgar Allen Poe would like to portray ideal love as one that can transcend death, his use of imagery to instill visual interest, still gives the narrator a persona that borders on the edge of insanity.

In the short stories “Mother in Manville”, “Man to Send Rain Clouds”, and “Rules of the Game” the literary elements setting and point of view help drive the story and they develop and support the theme. In “Mother in Manville” the setting is the main literary element that helps aid the theme and support it. The theme of, “Mother in Manville” is that people who have commitment problems are incapable of loving and caring for another person fully. The setting in the story is in the mountains of Carolina where the narrator is isolated from the outside world and even the orphanage, where society’s unwanted go. In “Man to Send Rain Clouds” the setting also help supports the theme of the story. In “Man to Send Rain Clouds” the setting is a small Northern New Mexico pueblo. This supports the theme of the divide of cultures and the divide between Leon and Father Paul. The final short story, “Rules of the Game” uses the literary element point of view to support the theme of the story. The theme of “Rules of the Game” is that one person should not be judged by one thing they do or accomplish. This is supported by the first person point of view and how we see the main character Meimei is treated by her mother. In the three short stories, “Mother in Manville”, “Man to Send Rain Clouds”, and “Rules of the Game” many literary elements help to support and carry out the theme of both stories, such as setting and point of view.
