Sarah Roemer's Body Measurements

“Hands” by Sarah Kay: Explication Spoken word poetry is meant to be performed, not simply just read from paper. Spoken word conforms and defies the standards of traditional poetry simultaneously: the same rhetoric devices can be found, but there is much more creative space for the speaker because of the lack of a strict form (Olson). Sarah Kay’s spoken word poem “Hands” is about the significance hands hold in our lives. Kay’s main theme in this poem is that our hands have been put here to create and show love, not to be a symbol of war and evil.

Sarah Breedlove, widely known as Madam C.J. Walker, was the first woman to become a self-made millionaire in any race. Becoming the first child in her family that was born into freedom, she went through a lot of rough times. Sarah was orphaned at only seven years old due to the death of both parents from yellow fever. With only her older sister caring for her, she then had to find work; she eventually started to work as a washerwoman. Her older sister married an abusive man, and he would sometimes mistreat Sarah. To escape the harmful environment of her brother-in-law, she married a laborer named Moses Mcwilliams, at the age of 14, who died two years after their marriage. Sarah and Moses had a child before his death, so she was left a widow and a single mother. She then moved up north in St. Louis after hearing that the wages for housekeeping and washerwomen were higher. Also, she married her second husband named Charles J. Walker that toiled in advertising and later helped her promote her hair care business. In St. Louis is where Sarah began to go and joined the

Unfortunately our society has developed a bad image of what “beautiful” is about; this image often ignores the real attributes of a real beauty creating the “thin” parasite in our community increasing unhealthy lifestyles raising the question in the “Thin” cult, as “Am I Thin Enough Yet?” This leads me to some questions that I often ask myself. How far would a person go to look “good” just to satisfy the eye of others? Is it really worth living a life chosen by other people instead of controlling our own self esteem and choose what we want for ourselves I don’t think so, that’s insecurity, or a low self steam. In the Book “Am I Thin Enough Yet” by Sharlene Hesse-Biber. Delia often referred to the word pretty as “Pretty to me if that you have to be thin.” That’s because of the influence she received from her mom and father who often used the word beautiful to her and thin relating it as something higher. The thing is, when we are part of something either a religious group, political party or a cult. We get influence by the euphoria without using rationally just to be part of that group. Our intelligence and common sense drops down to zero without thinning about the consequences of our own actions.

Sarah moved to Denver working as a sales agent for Malone where she met Charles Joseph Walker, a St. Louis journalist, who later becomes her husband. Sarah then became known as ‘Madam’ C.J. Walker.

In Jeanette Winterson’s novel Weight, the author demonstrates how myths have modern personal relevancies and can encourage each reader to investigate the three main subject matters in their lives; boundaries, freedom, and guilt. The numerous references to walls throughout the novel signify the boundaries, which make Atlas strive for freedom. Winterson’s Weight, is a modern rewrite on an old myth of Atlas and Heracles, and the challenges they endure can be interpreted by individual readers for personal relevancies.
