Analysis Of The Book ' The Bloody Truth '

With the development of our society, the ideas and concepts of lots of things have been changed. Feminist’s act is an important hallmark on our path to improve our society. But stereotypes against the role of female could still be found in many literatures. Looking back into our history, the appearance of women has been always weak and helpless in different time period, compare to man. Although, people’s attitude towards women has been advancing, but there is still a space for improvements and developments. Therefore, individuals must challenge their own false impression regarding the role of female, if our society were to truly abridge the gap between genders. For example, there are some literatures demonstrating sexism perfectly. In Christine, Stephen King illustrates a car that processes the personality of a woman, which often turns violent, driven by envy and wrath; The Exorcist creates the character of Regan, which satisfy the public’s expectation of the weak and helpless; and Dracula is a classic vampire story, where the author emphatically deprecates the woman’s status in the common society. Overall, by comparing with these three novels, the authors have used some specific opinions to enhance the issue of feminism. The authors of Christine, The exorcist and Dracula are considered as sexist writers from the portrayal of Leigh Cabot, Regan and Lucy Westenra’s characterization. They often portray the figure of female in a discriminative way, debase and objectify women in

The Nathaniel Hawthorn story “The Birthmark” is a about a scientist who strives to fix the imperfections of human nature. Not only does he kill his wife during the process, his attempt to have any control over human nature dies as well. This story is ironic in the way Hawthorne uses his symbolism in his characters to portray. Judith Fetterley says, "The Birthmark demonstrates the consequences to women of being trapped in the laboratory of man 's mind, the object of unrelenting scrutiny, examination, and experimentation," (Fetterley 32). In Hawthorn’s story, all of the symbols in the story represent that despite man’s attempts, nature cannot be altered without a consequence.

“Belief is nearly the whole of the universe whether based on truth of not.” by Kurt Vonnegut. People live day by day on what they believe whether it is their morals or values, and what people say.

Bluebeard is a not as well known fairytales that tell you the grim consequences of disobedience and curiosity that women deal with during marriage. Although, marriages have many secrets, every wife and husband deserves the truth when it comes to dishonestly, disloyalty, and sometimes murder.

“Bluebeard’s Egg,” By Margaret Atwood, starring Edward the “enigmatic” husband, and Sally whose integrity is diminished by the consequences of confronting the truth about her husband’s infidelity. Edward’s main similarity to Bluebeard is the demand for obedience that is expected of Sally. Although there are no dead ex-wives hidden behind a door, the outcomes of his two previous marriages and his secrecy provoke her to question herself of his faithfulness. And much like one of the morals in “Bluebeard,” some secrets, if you know what’s good for you, are better left unknown or in this case unsaid.

The book, After Silence, was written by Nancy Venable Raine. The author suffered from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder because she was raped. She was living on her own in Boston because she had taken a new job (Raine, 1999, pg. 7). And this is her only qualification when it comes to writing about PTSD. Some of the stressors she would have would just be sleeping or little noises that she would here around her. Her PTSD were mainly her nightmares, which caused her lack of sleep. I had chosen this book because I was interested in learning about what a person who has had a traumatic event in their life happen and how they can “overcome”

When The Devil Went Down to Georgia - looking to steal a soul, I found that I preferred the fancy fiddle playing of Satan over the more mundane instrumental performed by Johnny! While considered an unpardonable sin in Southern circles, this unabashedly conceited and conceded musical bias on my part is my first consciously remembered lesson in subjectivity. Although unquestionably ruining the general narrative of the song by the Charlie Daniels Band, give the golden fiddle playing Devil his due, everything ultimately boils down to a case of subjective opinion. So choose your side: Tea or Coffee; Diamond or Cubic Zirconia; Serving in Heaven vs. Ruling

I frowned. "But I don 't want there to be away from him. I can 't give him space."
