The Invention Of Wings By Sue Monk Kidd

Mary Chestnut, and Sarah Morgan both reflect on a system that they grow up and that it has the dual image. They are both self-reflective in their diaries about how women could be both good southern lady in public, but violently mistreat slaves in private. Morgan reflects on the actions of others around her, about the ways that women

Her physical ailments aside, Williams battles with vast inner-conflict, for her Mormon religion prevented her from speaking out and stating her struggle to the world. Overcome with frustration of misplaced authority, due to both her religion's suppression of ideas and governmental jargon, she finally offers her emotional pleas through a subtly persuasive narrative. By presenting only very common and well-known historical context, combined with personal examples through a narrative approach, Williams is targeting a large percentage of the population, especially women and those that lived through the events she speaks of and . Terry Tempest Williams indulges the reader with an aggregate of sympathetic narrative snippets, structural and stylistic shifts and a display of oppositional thinking, relating perspective and illustrating an alternative to blind obedience and emphasizing the need to civilly speak out against it.

I swore never to remain silent whenever and wherever humans beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.- Elie Weisel

Quote 1 neutrally helps the oppressor never the victim silence encourages the tormentor never the tormented .silence makes the tormentor feel like he is doing something right but if you talk about it and let the world know .They’ll realize they are doing something wrong. If they was to put me in a death camp and I survived I would let the world know about all the suffering and torture I went through and that Hitler’s way of

Setting is everything in a novel. It describes the historical background and provides a modern background for which the characters of the novel can flourish or decline in. The setting in The Invention of Wings is a normal one at the time, or at least it was normal.

Having no rights, being owned by other people, and being punished as your “master” sees fit. This was the reality for many people around the world in the early 1800 's. In the novel The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd, this is illustrated clearly from the views of a white woman, Sarah Grimkè, and the perspective of a black woman, Hetty “Handful” Grimkè who was under the Grimke’s ownership. Sarah opposed the way of life for Southerners in Charleston where slavery was a common occurrence in every white’s household. With her abolitionist views, Sarah treats Handful as if she was any other white. In The Invention of Wings, slavery is seen from two perspectives: one is from the whites who see it as necessary and useful to have

  “Slavery proved as injurious to her as it did to me. When I went there, she was a pious, warm, and tender-hearted woman. There was no sorrow or suffering for which she had not a tear. She had bread for the hungry, clothes for the naked, and comfort for every mourner that came within her reach. Slavery soon proved its ability to divest her of these heavenly qualities. Under its influence, the tender heart became stone, and the lamblike disposition gave way to one of tiger-like fierceness.”

Remaining silent when you also acknowledge that there is a presence of evil or threat means that you have no interest or care in the victims of the evil. And doing nothing to either support the victims or prevent more complications is obviously backing out the opposition. Which is exactly why Elie Wiesel is so passionate about this problem of remaining physically and vocally silent in times of despair and wrong. This is shows in paragraph 2,"Do I have the right to represent the multitudes who have perished? Do I have the right to accept this great honor on their behalf? I do not." He states that he has no right to represent the many people who have died and suffered which included his own family and close ones. He mentions the "Kingdom of Night"

During the 1850s, slavery was a controversial issue that divided the nation into rival factions between the North and the South. Slave owners of this time would dehumanize people of color and claim them as personal property. The book, Celia, A Slave, by Melton McLaurin, follows the life of a fourteen-year-old slave named Celia who was viscously raped for several years by her master, Robert Newsom. After the death of his wife, Newsom searched for a slave that could fulfill his sexual needs although he knew that Missouri was going through several debates regarding the issue of slavery. Celia had feelings for another slave who lived on Newsom’s farm named George and, Celia, and for this reason, killed Newsom in order to stop harassing her for sexual favors. Even though he provided housing for her and her two children, the abuse she had received needed to be acted upon. Due to little documented evidence, it is hard to know the real thoughts and emotions that Celia was going through. With evidence of Celia’s trial, slavery’s paradoxes were categorized by religious, legal and moral reasonings.

On February 15, 1820 in Adams, Massachusetts, a woman by the name of Susan Brownell Anthony was born to parents Daniel and Lucy (Read) Anthony. She was the second born of a strongly rooted Quaker family of eight (Hist.Bio.-1). Because they lived in a Quaker neighborhood, Susan was not heavily exposed to slavery. The family made anti-slavery talks an almost daily conversation over the dinner table. She also saw men and women on the same level (Stoddard 36). “A hard working father, who was not only a cotton manufacturer, but a Quaker Abolitionist also, prevented his children from what he called childish things such as toys, games and music. He felt that they would distract his children from reaching their peak of

Caroline believes slavery is wrong and Sarah, I believe doesn’t like it either. The writers are different people so they would have different opinions. The topics of the diary entries are how life was with and without slaves or life in the South and North.

Overall, the speaker of “The Runaway Slave at Pilgrim’s Point” reminds us that the system of slavery destroys lives. We see this notion play out in the narrative as the speaker talks of a female slave at Plymouth Rock. Here, we bear witness to her lack of respect for life that not only flaws her judgments as a mother, but perpetuates a sense of violence or
