“How to date a brown girl (black girl, white girl, or halfie)” and “Girl” are both an extreme representation of what life was and sometimes still is for many women. They’re both based on a standardized conception of how women should act towards society. Even though these two stories have similar messages, the points of view from where each story is told are different. “How to date a brown girl” is narrated by a teenager who believes is experienced with girls from all types of ethnicities. “Girl” seems to be a story of a mother trying to help her daughter by telling her how she’s supposed to behave. Besides the confident, self-assured tones in both narrators, the expectations that society places on women are the true similarities shared between these two

The book Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson is a tale taking place in the jim crow era. The book gave you a good sense of how the North and South felt like two different worlds during the civil rights movement. Although Jacqueline Woodson is now a renowned writer, things weren’t always the best in her life.

Narrative voice is integral in bringing about a particular idea, in order to aid in the development of the plot. In Diaz’s “How to Date a Browngirl, Blackgirl, Whitegirl or Halfie”, narrative voice plays an integral role in showing the vulnerability of the narrator. Diaz chose to use the second person point of view to demonstrate a relationship between the narrator and the audience. Throughout the piece, the narrator imparts dating advice to his audience, encouraging a shift in aspects of one’s image in order to avoid judgement. Similarly, in Anton Chekhov’s “The Lady with the Little Dog”, narrative voice is essential in developing Gurov’s vulnerabilities, as he fears being unable to satisfy women or escape his mundane life.

African American women never receive the true recognition they deserve; and as women we need to know who we are, and why we are important to this nation and to the world. African American women have several contributions to the United States. Their contributions are in fashion, entertainment, art, literature, economics, education, and so much more. Throughout the years these contributions have increased and are continuing to skyrocket as the days go by. Many African American women have made history due to their hard work, and dedication and most of the time it goes unnoticed due to their skin tone and their sexuality. Black women also face several negative stereotypes. They are often seen as angry, ignorant, hostile human beings. It often makes it harder for them to be taken seriously. There are several factors to the stereotypes and are often false, and give black women a bad outlook. Black women are our fighters against slavery, representation of women’s suffrage, the majorettes for the march on civil rights, and the hardworking women in both world wars.

An instruction manual on how to get a girl based on their ethnicity is what Junot Diaz wrote in the story “How to Date a Browngirl, Blackgirl, Whitegirl, or Halfie.” One central theme in the story is the idea of stereotypes. A stereotype is a preconceived notion about someone based on an outside characteristic they posses. These generalizations come from some truth but you can’t put everyone into a specific category based on their appearance. In this controversial story, Diaz uses the main character to talk about stereotypes and demonstrates how he treats women differently based on their race. The story shows the reader how

Women have come a long way. They started off unable to vote or even have equal rights to now it is hope that a woman may potentially be president.

Sometimes there is no win-win, and we have to be willing to forgive and to move forward. Psalms 130:3 “If you, Lord kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand” (New International Version). Clearly, there is none among us who is without

facilities (Reichert et al., 2007). This particular argument may stem from the lack of safe, but free, areas to exercise; many low-income neighborhoods do not have safe sidewalks, parks, or even free recreation centers to participate even if the desire was there. A prevalent argument that both African American and Hispanic women use as to their inability to obtain a healthy exercise routine is that the additional money needed to provide for childcare while exercising does not suffice a cost to benefit (Reichert et al., 2007). A study done in regards to the Hispanic population found that in the case of parents, money would be spent on a child’s participation in sports or exercise before an adult (Steenhuis, Nooy, Moes, & Schuit, 2009). That

The author, claims and argues that Black American females are geniuses by presenting quantitative education and income data to substantiate this claim. 2 Kaba provides historical data that demonstrates that Black women have made many notable achievements in history, despite the difficulties that have been faced by the black population for almost 400 years. This author described “genius” as a person of extraordinary intellect and talent and extraordinary intellectual and creative power. Utilizing United States census data, the author points out that of the 14,000 Doctorate degree recipients in the USA aged 18-24, 11,000 were females and Black females accounted for 4,000 (28.6%) and 36.4% of the 11,000 females (Kaba, 2009). The author surmises that with all the statistical census data, educational records and achievements they

Since the early 1900s, Black women have had a fascination with their hair. More explicitly, they have had a fascination with straightening their hair. The need to be accepted by the majority class has caused them to do so. Though the image of straight hair as being better than coarse hair still hasn’t left the Black community, there has been a surge of non straight hairstyles since the nineteen sixties. Wearing more natural hairstyles, which ironically enough include ‘weaves’ and ‘hair extensions’ has been considered to be more empowered and more enlightened. However, this image comes with a price, and though it appears the ‘natural’ hairstyle movement has advanced Black women, it has actually set

It makes sense, guilt is controlling

Women are the pillars of the society. They give rise to the society, each one of us was conceived in the womb of a particular woman. They take care of the entire family, the children and the grown up. The mother figure is quite critical in the life of each and every individual. There is a saying that goes” behind every successful man there is a woman.” Therefore, their significance in the lives of their husbands or children cannot be ignored. The great readers across the world for instance United States of America President Obama and United Kingdom Prime minister David Cameron regularly attends government and private affairs together with their wives Mitchell and Samantha respectively.

The Good Book says that no man is righteous, not one. Whether you believe the teachings of that book or not, it’s hard to deny our bicameral nature as human beings. Sure, we can pretend that immoral thoughts don’t dwell within our souls but the truth is we all have a darkside. Something eats at us all; a thought, a memory of an event we regret, maybe one that we’d like to change. Of course, society teaches us that there is no logical reason to work through those things. Bury your ill feelings and everything will be alright.
