14-15). The narrator’s reverence is emphasized through the use of words such as “so” and “even” highlighting that it is unusual and extraordinary of a child of five to be “so” physically confident. The narrator is not the only one who looks up to Gail, “Other little girls might admire the ringlets and the dresses with smocking on the yokes, and the white socks that stayed up…” (ll 22-24). In the second paragraph we read that the narrator eventually becomes friends with Gail, “In fact, she did become my very best friend, years later,” (ll 9-10).

In Alice Walker's short story "Everyday Use" Mama is the narrator. She speaks of her family of two daughters Maggie and Dee. Through the eyes of two daughters, Dee and Maggie, who have chosen to live their lives in very different manners, the reader can choose which character to identify most with by judging what is really important in one’s life.

Goodwin’s memories of the 1950s were very positive, however the family life made growing up somewhat negative. During most of Goodwin’s life, her mother suffered from different illnesses that would cause problems in the household. Most of the time, her mother, Helen, was too sick to have company over, which was very stereotypical during that time. When television came around, the family would host gatherings. When Helen was asked if she could have more gatherings Helen would reply, “but I simply can’t do it. Even now, I am so exhausted just from having everyone here that I’ve got to lie down for a little while” (Goodwin 122). Goodwin’s sister, Jeanne, took many roles that Helen could not because Helen was so sick. Goodwin stated that, “For as long as I can remember, she was a surrogate mother, looking out for me, taking care of me when my mother was sick” (Goodwin 37). Goodwin would recall many stories of Jeanne doing tasks that their mother would do. This made her Goodwin feel embarrassed, which is where the negative

When people think about mathematicians, they typically refer to white, doctorate-educated male. However, there are more women budding into the field of mathematics. This paper will focus on one special woman, an African-American woman by the name of Evelyn Boyd Granville. She is not the first African-American woman to receive a doctorate in mathematics, but she, unlike Euphemia Lofton Haynes, stayed more out of the education field and primarily worked for NASA, contributing to many expeditions in space.

Carol Gilligan and Feminist Lens Carol Gilligan is a well-known psychologist, feminist and American ethicist that is predominately known for her work on ethical relationships and ethical community. Even though she is known throughout the ethical community to work hand in hand with Lawrence Kohlberg in reference to his “stages of moral development” (Schneider), she is also remembered as one who highly criticized those same stages. Even though you might say that Carol Gilligan was “mentored” by Lawrence Kohlberg, she would argue that his stages were very “male-oriented” (Schneider), which overgeneralized women and greatly limited the ability to reach its full potential. Gilligan eventually proposed her own theoretical stages that were focused more on the development of her direct idea of the feminine voice.
