a panel of women who had all previously been to prison. This panel was particularly interesting because these women were the inspiration for the television series Orange is the New Black. The Netflix original series is based on Piper Kerman’s book of the same name. The book was based on her experience in the women’s prison Danbury, which is located in Connecticut. Piper wrote about her personal story and the stories of many of the women she interacted with. Several of these very women came to Suffolk

The obvious theme in this story is men discounting women?s intelligence and their ability to play a man?s role, as detectives, in the story. A less apparent theme is the empathy the women in the plot find for each other. Looking at the play from this perspective we see a distinct set of characters, a plot, and a final act of sacrifice.

Esperanza and the people she encounters during her time on Mango Street as she struggles to find herself as an individual/her identity. During the story, Esperanza discovers how her culture and social class affects her, how she relates to the roles of women in her community, and how to process her hopes and dreams as she matures. These pieces eventually come together in order to help Esperanza form her identity. The shabby old house on Mango Street is all that Esperanza and her family can afford at the

readers. As time progresses, readers grow their understanding of the different themes and perspectives in each book. However, the theme of Femininity and Womanhood stands out to me since the beginning, as it expresses major differences with men and women.
