Analysis Of The Book ' Anahita '

She uses the barbaric words and phrases “slaves,” and “severe restraint,” to illustrate how horrible their situations were, even if this seemingly civilized society. Women’s lives, she claimed, were marked by “degradation” and “servitude.” Although, these traits could be hidden behind a facade of propriety, women were still repressed and did not have the autonomy that their male counterparts did. In current society, women are viewed as “pitiful” dependents, but they have so much more potential, she argues. And through a concerted effort of all men and women, women can and should become more integrated into society, she

She tells the police what happened, they do not believe her. It was just then Naghma said, “ Her being here In prison. Her father had sworn that the day she was released he would take a knife to her throat.” (Hosseini, 363) This shows that men can find ways to blame woman because in this part she goes to prison on false charges of seducing a man just because she Is a female. The way that her father tells her what he will do when she comes out of prison shows how men can find ways of blaming woman even if it's not there fault. He Is putting the blame on her because he does not want to take responsibilities for his

e majority of the marriages in Afghanistan are still being forced till this day which sorrowful in my opinion. I don't think honor killings should occur in any country. I can’t believe the victim that is raped has to go to jail for something that she doesn't control. I found that very unfair and horrible to imagine. Afghanistan, in general, doesn't view women as actual women because it shows that they can take advantage of any female and the victim will get punished for it. It breaks my heart knowing that women are being treated so bad especially I was raised by women, so I tend to have a lot of emotions when it comes to women's rights which are being violated on a vast scale throughout the book. However, Azita came across and was one of the few women who was very brave of her because, In Afghanistan, a culture ruled almost entirely by men, so it's difficult for women to have a voice for

All over the globe, violence and discrimination against women and girls violates their human rights and severely compromised their perception of equality. Culture, false beliefs and ancient traditions, such as early marriage, the nuclear family, gender-based discrimination, which lead to violence against women and femicide, destroyed young girls ' mental and physical wellbeing and self-esteem by supporting the ideas that gender-based discrimination and inequality is acceptable in our societies.

Most people would do whatever it takes to keep those they love safe, even if it means harming those who try to bring harm upon them. This was shown by the character Ultima in the novel Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya in which Ultima plays a good character with special powers that she uses to do things like save and protect lives. The powers that Ultima possesed were used in various ways such as healing wounds, saving lives and getting rid of people who tried to bring harm upon the family. Ultima was a really calm and spiritual person which is proven in the situation where she tries to lift the curse placed upon Antonio’s uncle lucas’s life, but she assures Prudencio (Lucas’s father) that “life is never beyond hope” (96). Ultima succeeded in saving the life of lucas who did not deserve to have his life threatened in the first place.If she was evil or a witch she more than likely would not have helped Lucas and he would have died.

2. In the novel, women in Annawadi don’t have lots of freedom and rights. They are mistreated and every family living in Annawadi dislikes each other because they are corrupted by greed and money. Even in the urban slums, women like Zehrunisa and Asha wouldn’t have more freedom because women can’t have a voice for themselves unless they have connections to other, more powerful people. Other women dislike and spit hate at Zehrunisa and Asha because they are more successful than them, rather than trying to work with them to be successful together. Since the people in Annawadi are so corrupted by money, they disregard for others wellbeing and resort to fighting or trash talk each other. For women, they are a burden for parents because of marriage and dowry. That is why mothers and fathers want their daughters to be perfect, with no scars or anything that would prevent them to get married. All the engagement is determined at a young age, so girls can not find love for themselves. “Meena’s future in-laws might not come to hear that they’d chosen an impetuous bride.” (Boo 188). When Meena, a young Annawadi girl, tried to commit suicide with rat poison because she hated the life she was living, her brother beat her up because now there would be less chance for Meena to get married. Rather than the townspeople helping Meena, the were ashamed of her and worried for her reputation than her health. In my view, the freedoms that the women in Annawadi lack is a voice. The women cannot

Neveah was born and raised until the age of twelve in the Caribbean Islands. Neveah has a history of physical and sexual abuse. She reports physical abuse by her maternal grandmother, who she was raised by. Neveah states that at times she felt she was going to “die” and the abuse frequently left “welts.” Neveah reports that she was “raped” twice by two individuals. Neveah did not report these incidents because the laws in her native country are “corrupt.” Furthermore, she shared that “rape” was very common in her native country.

In the novel, Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya, Ultima is a curandera (healer) and she cures people in Las Pasturas even though she is often mistaken as a bruja (witch). “‘Your father has gone to Las Pasturas,’ my mother chattered, ‘he has gone to bring La Grande” (7). Antonio’s mother, Maria, is a very religious, Catholic person, and she would not have allowed her into her house if she was a witch. Maria understands Ultima is a curandera, especially since Ultima helped her bring birth to her children. “[Tenorio] crossed his fingers and held the sign of the cross in front of Ultima’s face. She did not budge” (93). Tenorio makes a cross to harm Ultima, accusing her as a bruja. Ultima revealed she is a curandera and that it is Tenorio’s daughters

In Bless Me, Ultima, Rudolfo Anaya used numerous messages, which influenced and inspired the readers in their lifestyle and future goals. The greatest lesson that Anaya teaches in the novel is that sometimes important people in our life can change our perspective in making and defending our choices. Antonio has numerous dreams throughout the novel, which changed as Antonio grew up according to the interpretations of his family members. This made him to change his perspective in making important steps to fulfil his dreams in his educational development.

Badami is shown how females rights is an issue. Women aren’t allowed to do certain things. For example work, leave their homes, and talk with certain people. Maya had told her dad how she was going to marry a white man, instead of a Hindu man. Her dad had nothing to say but “ If you persist in doing this foolish thing...never show your face in this house again. Never” (113). Maya’s dad cares more about what others will think of him rather than how his daughter feels. Since he respects his family's dignity more than anything and her doing something that is never done in the small town, religion will bring lots of negative attention. Likewise, her dad believes the fact that her daughters soon to be husband's people are very bad and have nothing good in them. It is awful to say women face physical abuse and can have zero say in stopping the action being made. Simply from being a female. When Sripathi and his wife had gotten in a fight he had “Without thinking slapped her back, and she stopped crying abruptly” (36). Even Though both Sripathi and his wife are frustrated with each other, that is not a justification for his violence. In this situation the wife can not go and ask for help, As no one will hear her voice in what's wrong. No one will believe her either. Since females have no say, which ties into society telling men, they can do whatever they want. Since females clearly have no

And so, earlier this month, the court increased her punishment to 200 lashes and six months in jail. Her lawyer, a prominent human rights defender, was suspended and faces a disciplinary hearing.” In this text the victim had no control over the situation and did nothing wrong, but she is still being harshly punished while the real criminals get to walk away

This illeteral widow abandoned herself throughout her life time not able to learn basic things from her parents for she had no chance to learn any parental guidance since her age of 10. Social welfare system raised her without basic education for the system of the War torned nation can't provide anything than minor supply of poor food to war time orphans.Occupied by mat Materiaism, family saving has been losted for her poor management of it.

“And what can one do?” (Gilman). Gilman’s question represents the women population of the world perfectly because what is one supposed to do, being disobedient is not taking lightly, seeing how the husband may have inflicted physical pain, on top of the already emotional pain that is being inflicted by not allowing the social contact that she desires. Situations similar to Jane’s can be directly correlated to those issues in the Muslim communities.

The Taliban implemented laws restricting the movements and actions of women in Afghanistan in public places. While attempting to visit her child in a home for young girls, Laila is beaten within an inch of her life as a consequence of walking outside without a male escort (Hosseini). The extreme course of action, beating a woman for walking alone, demonstrates the illogical and unjustifiable actions the Taliban promotes the practice of in Afghanistan. The women and men have dramatically unequal rights.

Girls, young women, and mature mothers. Society has consistently given women strict guidelines, rules and principles on how to be an appropriate member of a man’s society. These rules are set at a young age and enforced thoroughly into adulthood. When not followed accordingly, women often times too many face reprimanding through means of verbal abuse, physical abuse, or social exile. In the midst of all these strict guidelines and social etiquette for girls, a social rebellion started among girls and women and gender roles were broken, however the social rebellion did not and does not affect all girls and women. For instance, in less socially developed places, young girls on the brink of womanhood are still strongly persuaded to be a man’s idea of a “woman”.
