“Diverging Paths and all That” written by Maryanne O’Hara, has a very clear and concise setting- a supermarket. The setting creates an atmosphere, illuminate characters, and organize the plot. What it does not do is have a deeper meaning. It is just a setting, a location that the readers can connect to. Almost every reader can reminisce or imagine the glory days of strip malls and shopping centers before the Amazon and Ebay giants strangle the physical shopping centers. The location is a very romanticised 1970’s American setting. During the time of the story, Nixon is resigning and all of America drops what they are doing to watch him. The two robbers use Nixon to justify their actions, “what the hell, even the President is a crook…” Through

There is significant evidence throughout both 'The Long Queen ' and The Map Women ' to indicate that suffering is a central element of female experience. Both of these poems are present in the 'Feminine Gospels ' written by Carol Ann Duffy. The collection of poetry is seen to be teachings of feminism aiming to provide the reader visions of female identity. One feature of this identity that is examined within these two poems is the theme of mental and physical suffering that women universally endure.

Female characters are influential in John Wyndham’s The Chrysalids. In the novel, three women are of paramount importance in comparison to all others in shaping David’s views and opinions: Sophie, the Sealand woman, and Aunt Harriet. In the society of Waknuk, individuals exhibit prejudice repeatedly throughout the novel through their own blinkered treatment of deviations. David Strorm’s, a twelve-year-old boy whose parents brought him up in such lifestyle, interactions with those three women throughout the novel sways him to have second thoughts about it. Their dealings with David each have a particular impact on his life. Sophie allows for doubt to enter David’s life for the first time; the Sealand woman expands his views and prompts him to consider other beliefs different from those of his society; and Aunt Harriet makes him more conscious of his society’s despicable activities and more attentive to it. In John Wyndham’s The Chrysalids, Sophie, the Sealand woman, and Aunt Harriet are instrumental in influencing David’s outlook on society.

As an author Laura Hillenbrand has made an impact of people's lives, whether it is her power of words that affects the way people feel or the pure power of the true stories she writes about. Hillenbrand has a unique way of writing her books. She suffers from an incurable disease called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which makes people increasingly tired and unable to do most usually easy things. Though being confined to her house hasn't stopped her. She still has outstanding capabilities. For instance in the process of writing her second book Unbroken, she needed to learn more about American military aviation but she couldn't leave her house to find a place and just normal research online would cut it. So she set an interview with an enthusiast of World War II aviation, Bill Darron, at her house. During the interview she learned all she needed to make the

claims to believe in gender equality. Throughout the novel Coverdale and Zenobia discuss the issues of feminism and gender roles. Although he appears to sympathize with Zenobia’s feminist cause, there were occasions in the novel which proved otherwise. Coverdale’s support for Zenobia’s fight for equality might only be an act to win her approval. The purpose of the Blithedale community was for it to be a place where individuals would be treated equally, however, Coverdale’s mindset has a challenging time of remembering the goal of the community. During The Blithedale Romance, Coverdale would be analyzing people’s masculine and feminine traits. Coverdale does believe in gender stereotypes by constantly thinking about the aspects each gender should possess and his desire for power over women.

Butler’s work majorly discuss problems of race, gender and power relations along with self-determination that she transfers from the human society within communities of the aliens, as well as vampires. On the contrary this essay, would present the in depth evaluation of separate forms as well as reasons about oppression, towards that protagonist within Fledgling has been exposed. On the contrary, this would show in which manner protagonist has been empowered along with therefore, showing resistance, change as well as future of equality (Stewart).

For my character analysis I chose Melinda Sordino [Mels] from the book “Speak” which was written by Laurie Halse Anderson. Anderson’s character Mels is quite interesting, and has so many stories to tell but no one to tell them to. This is why I chose her. Because she’s different from all the other characters, and also because the book in itself is very interesting.

“Old Before Her Time” was written by Katherine Barrett. This is not a story of the author. It is the story of a young woman, Patty Moore, who spent three years on an experiment for herself.

She would apply makeup and latex to her face to look older. She placed ace wraps on her joints to get the feel of achy joints. She wanted to experience the problems the elderly had. She traveled to different states in the country and worked on her experiment.

The women in Lily's Society, whom she is trying to imitate, achieve a strong financial status through marriage. With marriage, comes a new moral license where these women indulge in affairs to satiate their longings. Lily, who3 has been trying to adopt the standards of this frivolous, mercenary society, gradually starts disengaging herself from it. This movement away from the wealthy patriarchal world, her failure to adopt its standards of morality and femininity pushes her into the abyss of destruction.

The picture of the protagonist that Theodore Dreiser’s novel, Sister Carrie, portrays is only a half-truth. By examining Sister Carrie’s character, she is readily deemed as passive, weak, and full of superficial desires and yet in this profoundly inert nature lies the seed for the greater expression of an artistic soul. However, this realization is only drawn out by Ames’s archetypically scholarly eyes (the intelligent but withdrawn engineer); bringing forth the powerful and intimate beauty that Carrie possesses, which without a photograph, the reader would forever remain blind to. Nevertheless, as Ames draws out the riches of Carrie’s humanity, he delineates yet another ideal, the ideal of the artist, which lies far away from the comfort

The final two decade's of the Victorians age eyewitnesses the origin of a shift in social's attitude's regarding's genders connection, which is noticeable by a steady move away from the arrangement of paternal male predominance and female reliance toward the moderns patterns of gender equitability. One of the demonstration of this movements is the appearance of the New Woman fictions.

Gwen watched his mannerisms, still trying to assess this man before her. He seemed to have a lot of things going for him. Indeed, wealth didn't appear to be an issue. Even before he mentioned the exhibition again, from the way he talked about his past times and things he enjoyed, Gwen felt like this man could truly enjoy the finer things in life. But his parents had died in an accident, so at least part of him knew tragedy. And up until now, she was thinking that he was just very knowledgeable in art. Which was a beautiful thing! But it was something that did not speak to Gwen or have the same level of her interest at least. And as difficult as it would be to admit, his special condition itself gave her pause as well. That paired with her
