In Trifles by Susan Glaspell, she illustrates the struggles of how sexism not only limits the women to be taken seriously, but how masculinity can prevent the men from gaining vital information about a murder motivated by emotional abuse and the feeling of isolation . Sexism, an issue that plagued women during the tenth century, affects the leading ladies in Trifles, face no different. At the beginning of the play, readers can already see the divide between Mrs. Peters and Mrs. Hale, who townspeople

Chapter 8: “I Will Be Heard” follows William Lloyd Garrison and his battle against slavery. The chapter discusses Garrison’s past and how he became such an advocate for emancipation. William Lloyd Garrison was born on December 1805 in a small town called Newburyport, Massachusetts. As a child, Garrison had no direct knowledge of slavery as he was not really exposed to it, but what caused him to be the leader of a crusade against slavery? He was heavily influenced by his mother and a publisher of

Certainly, gender roles are fixed expectations of how people should feel, speak, or interact in society according to their sex. Women are expected to play subordinate roles to their male counterparts. Despite the societal assumption that women are not as strong as men mentally because they are not as strong physically was an advantage for women to achieve goals privately in the following dramas. In Trifles, Antigone, and Dollhouse the women who played submissive roles in public, exhibited powerful

The first time I heard “Ar'nt I a Woman?” was freshman year of high school, during our annual African-American Heritage assembly. The crowd, always restless and inattentive, chattered and snapchatted away as the speech and presenter were announced. A lanky girl shuffled on stage, folding in on herself as she walked, arrived center stage, and began to speak. As she went on, her spine straightened, her murmurs turned to phrases enunciated so clearly her tongue seemed to be working three times as hard

Frank Lloyd Wright once said, “Every great architecture is-necessarily-a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age.” In other words, movements of architecture become movements because of individuals who fabricate their own new styles. Wright states this by saying every architecture reflects his/her time period with originality.Throughout history there have been many great architectures who have worked in many different styles of architecture, such as Gothic

America was built on the foundation of slavery. The White House was physically built by slaves and by the mid-1800’s the south’s economy was completely based on the practice of chattel slavery, despite its economic detriment. Even after the Civil War and the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments, black Americans were unjustly kept from practicing their civil rights. In 1857 the Supreme Court handed down the worst decision in its history: Dred Scott versus Sanford. The decision determined that African Americans

Movements of the 19th Century The early nineteenth century is a part of one of the greatest ages, the Age of Reform and Revolution. It was a time of many people having new ideas of what an ideal society should have. This led to the creation of many new movements to try to create this new ideal society. Of the many movements that occurred, three of the most important ones were “manifest destiny,” the Industrial Revolution and the Anti-Slavery Movement. To begin with, a major movement that wrought

and advocating female careers in teaching, Harriet Beecher's famous novel “Uncle Tom's Cabin” which helped expose the evils of slavery, and Henry Ward Beecher's work as an antislavery advocate and preacher before and after the Civil War. William Lloyd Garrison was one of the fiercest abolitionist figures of his generation. Garrison launched The Liberator in 1831, a radical weekly antislavery journal, where he called for immediate and unconditional emancipation of all slaves. In 1833, Garrison united

mistresses and anything about them. I also think that one of the genres that are on the rise is the Independent films. Erik Matti’s Indie film, Honor Thy Father, brings a very different tone and story to the plate. The movie starts off with Edgar (John Lloyd Cruz) picking up his daughter from school. The scene shifts to their house where Kaye (Meryll Soriano), Edgar’s wife, is persuading a group of friends to invest in her father’s business where everyone gets significantly rich. Edgar sits from behind

Scientifically, women are weaker than the male gender but that is just a fact. Not all women, though. Every person is different and can fulfill whatever it is they think they can do but back then, for women, they were told what to do and who to marry. It was rare for a women to be independent and if they were it was either shamed upon or they were wealthy compared to other women. In this story, Mrs. Wright wants to become free of all her duties, the ones that made her lose everything that she once
