There is also the theme of love in this story between a group of women. Walker tells people that it is ok to love women because they are the same as the other women in the fact that they just want to be safe and loved. There is a controversial

We live in a paternalistic society which is defined as a society controlled and run by men. Men not only dominate in government and business, but they also make the rules for the world that we live in. It is said to be a "man 's world." In essentially every past and present known society, women have not been treated as the full equals of men. A woman 's main value is to support a man, bear children, and housekeeping duties. This is how it has always been in most cultures. The novel, The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver, shows the paternalistic society in which the Price family lives in. In 1959 an obstinate Baptist minister named Nathan Price drags his wife and four daughters deep into the heart of the Congo on a mission to save the unenlightened souls of Africa. Nathan Price is a prime example of an arrogant father. He, a servant of God, seems to think that he is God. This complex is magnified by the fact that the minister has a low opinion of the female sex in general, and he does not exclude his daughters or his wife. In a society where men and women are not seen as equals, women struggle to find their identity.

“No… we have a daughter, and I don’t want to break a holy vow” (Linmark 94). This is a perfect example of how religion has oppressed these people over time. Furthermore, this may contribute to the extreme discourse between the parents and the children throughout the novel. The children can see how religion has affected their parents as they are virtually brainwashed by their spiritual beliefs and the children wish to avoid the oppressions of this institution. They do so by using their language to rewrite traditional Catholic litany and hymns invoking other “cultural” saints to paint a picture of their lives and the lack of God’s presence that they feel.

After the events of the 1970s and 1980s depicted in pt 1, this volume of the British horror trilogy takes place in the mid 1990s.

This novel gives a very realistic picture of slavery of the African-Americans. Marriage and Slave families were rarely recognized by the slaveholders. When slaves did get married, the risk of being separated was always there because of the economic needs of the slaveholders. Although, childbearing was encouraged, so

My name’s Rebecca Lynn Peck, although I’ve always gone by Becca. On July 17, I turned 18. Stationed there, my mom had me in Enterprise, AL. Beginning in the army and transitioning to the national guard, our military family moved from Alabama to California to Oklahoma all before I turned four years old as a requirement for staying with my dad. Switching not only cities, but also states, I moved from Broken Arrow, OK, which is about 10 minutes southeast of Tulsa, OK. In the autumn of 2012, my parents got a divorce. Before I moved away, I lived with my mom and brother, Josh. My dad and a woman named Kris got married not long after the divorce was final. A man named Scott has taken interest in my mom. His son, Anthony, studies here as well. Both

Becca 's Story by James D. Forman The Plot: Throughout the story there were several incidents of suspense that revealed the characters. One incident of suspense was when the Confederate army was fighting the Union army at the battle of Gettysburg. Their were brigades along the woods to hold the opposing army off. Alex and Charlie could do nothing but watch because it was such a spectacle. The others were advancing towards the boys and they were silently praying to themselves that they would stop before they reached them. They didn 't stop though and the boys had to charge. They were reloading, shooting, tearing cartridges with their teeth, and sheltering. The whole time they were being fired at and dodging the fire. By this time Colonel

This novel was really good.It was a great American Southern spiritual journey The Southern folksy language made me feel more in the story. In the novel, there were many great themes, such as language, society and class, love and relationship versus independence,jealousy, and gender and appearances. Language was used very different for the men and women in the novel. Women were intimidated by the men into submissive silence

Have you ever have been judged by anyone? Did you ever judge anyone, according to how they look or act? Quotes such as “Every single person on the planet has a story. Don’t judge people before you truly know them. The truth may surprise you” and “Don’t judge a book by its cover” were established long ago, as a result of lessons learned. The comments you make before knowing someone, can contradict the person’s personality. Therefore, it’s impolite to evaluate someone before knowing them. Such quotes not only relate to our everyday life now, but they are also related to a novel written in the 1960s. In the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee, Scout lives with her father Atticus, her brother Jem, and their cook Calpurnia in the old Alabama town of Maycomb. This book takes the readers to the

My thoughts about the book overall is basically, it’s a terrible way for women to live. It shows that their government is corrupt and are blinded by what they believe is the right way to live. Basing people’s lives off of religion isn’t just. The fact that they think it’s their choice and right to pick and choose the women who are deemed healthy enough to bare children, be forced to sleep with another woman’s husband is completely wrong. I understand that these couples are at the age when they aren’t able to

It’s the first person story of Kathy and her relationships with Tommy and Ruth from the time they were in school until their deaths. It is told at a specific present date (England, 1990s, as it says) but the narrative jumps about between times, mainly but not always in order, in a way reminiscent of many other novels of life looked back at. I could compare this to Signs of Life or Brideshead Revisited or Tea at Gunters. It’s like that. And at the same time, it’s much bigger inside than it looks from outside, and it fits much better with Mirror Dance and Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang. Kathy thinks she’s telling the story of how fortunate and privileged she was and of her relationships, but she’s really telling the story of an alternate world
