Yolanda Research Paper

As a teenager growing up in a very destructive and dark world, Lauren Olamina was one of the lucky citizens who got the privilege to live behind a wall before the full collapse of the society. With a rare condition called hyperempathy, she had the ability to share the true feelings of others. How does Lauren’s hyperempathy effect her actions throughout the course of the text while also showing the selfishness of the current human race? Her condition encourages her to help the people she comes in contact with, reinforces her views on religion, and allows her to empathize with others.

There are many examples of societal themes throughout the readings assigned in the past few weeks. Many of these readings can be related to each other in the way that they share the same societal themes. These societal themes can also be shown throughout some stories and be told in many different ways. One societal theme that can be seen in a lot of these stories is the theme of economic trouble. Slavery can also fall under this theme. Slavery can be seen in the story Oroonoko, by Aphra Behn, and Reflections upon Marriage, by Mary Astell. This can be seen as a theme in these two stories in how they are presented, how it affects the time period of the author, and through the different techniques and styles they have.

“If you say 1.5 million, it’s just a number. When you see a person, you realize what it was, what it meant, and the one life lost, and then you can multiply that by a million and a half, and you realize what a horror it was” (Burstein). The Holocaust is one event that captures how hideous the world can be. During the duration of 12 years, 11 million people of different cultures, religions, and races were executed because of the Nazi party. Of those 11 million people, 1.5 million were children (Burstein). Hana Brady was one of these children who was persecuted because she chose to practice a religion other than what the Nazi party thought was proper. Although the Holocaust was a deplorable time in world history, humankind had the unfortunate

Gundersen organized the book in many different ways. The prominent topics throughout the book were relocation, education, marriage, pregnancy, and constant changing times. The three women she selected belong to different classes, and have come from separate parts of the world. This choice was not by mistake, she chose these three completely separate lifestyles to show that these problems were not only occurring inside of one area or class. She selected these women to represent a whole for all women of this era. All women had to deal with the same problems, maybe not in the same way, but in similar ways.

Selena was born in Lake Jackson Texas to Abraham Quintanilla Jr. and Marcella Ofelia Samora on 4-16-1971, and was the youngest child of 3 including her. When she was 6 years old her father realized her musical abilities and later on told People Magazine “Her Timing and Pitch were perfect I knew it from day one.” In 1980 in Lake Jackson, her dad opened his first Tex-Mex Restaurant, where Selena and her siblings would perform at only the age of 9.

Mary Haydock, now formally known as Mary Reibey was born on the 12th May 1777 (source 1) and was raised by her grandmother after both her parents died when Mary was of a young age. Mary was convicted of horse stealing at the age of 13 and was to be sent to Australia for seven years (source 1). Being sent away from her family and in particular her grandmother, meant that Mary was alone and isolated from the people that she would have felt most comfortable around. This lack of belongingness may have caused Mary Reibey depression which was common for convicts of such a young age.

Dinahlee Martinez has a loving personality. She puts others before herself and makes sure everyone around her is well. She is funny, outgoing and can be sensitive at times.

When the girls go back to visit the Dominican Republic, they see Sofia living in this patriarchal environment, and since America is so different, they do not want any part in a patriarchy: “ And what's most disturbing is that Fifi, feisty, lively Fifi, is letting this man tell her what she can and cannot do… ‘Don't let him push you around. You’re a free spirit,’ we remind her. But within an hour, Fifi is on the phone with Manuelito, pleading for forgiveness” (Alvarez 120-121). When the sisters see that Fifi just lets her boyfriend control everything she does, they realize how bad the patriarchy is, and what it can do to a woman. The girls start to realize that they used to be living in this kind of society. But all the aunts and girl cousins in the Dominican Republic consider it very ‘unfeminine’ for a woman to fight for her rights. In America, it is very different, which is why Yolanda became such a passionate feminist after her immigration to America. Being a Dominican immigrant has affected the way Yolanda defines herself because it has caused her to be a

Jenifer Jernigan loves her sisters in Christ with a compassion and faithfulness that inspires others to drop to their knees, to dig deeper in God’s Word, and to see their own potential through Jesus Christ in new and exciting ways. She is encouraging. She is thought provoking. She is sincere. Above all, her love for the Lord is evident; her teaching of the text is inspiring; and her devotion to the Truth is paramount.

I think one of the biggest issues Cisneros deals with in her book "The House on Mango Street" is male and female gender roles in society. Since society was first founded it has always been a unwritten 'law of Earth' that women were subservient to men. Men hold more power than women in society and also more power to choose the path they would follow in life, whereas women and young girls are trained from a young age like Esperanza to grow up to be a wife and mother. Girls that had their own brain and plans for themselves were considered rebellious and abnormal from society, almost as if failure in a woman being marriage defeats her entire purpose of existence and she has not accomplished anything in her life. Esperanza rebelled from this social

I know we’ve touched on this in the past, but I’m getting this request a lot so I figured I would ask again. Over the last couple months I’ve visited a few of the LSC’s (Las Vegas, and Fullerton), and hosted all Dynamex locations here on site. One of the constant requests I’m hearing from the LSC’s is they would like a weekly shipping schedule. Dynamex stated they receive a Market Forecast with m3 by week, but it does not tell the when trucks are arriving. They said that a shipping schedule would really help them out with resource planning. I know we had previously said we would not provide this to the LSC’s, and they just needed to be open per the contractual agreement(s). Is this still the case, or do you have any objections
