...Bone Black by Bell Hooks The book Bone Black, which was written by Bell Hooks primarily gives a soft and vivid look in the author’s own childhood experience. The author started off the book by explaining about a certain quilt that her mother entrusted to her. At first, she thought that such quilt was quite special because of course it was her mother who personally gave it to her and that her mother never gave if first to her other sisters. Later on, the author went on describing how the siblings in their family never had a clue that they were not rich until the later part of their lives and during the times that are already growing. They primarily liked certain dolls that they used to play with and the food that they usually eat. All of them never dared to wonder why they did not possess various things that their white neighbors used to have. The sisters frequently complain because when they are going to school they need to walk and that the white kids in their neighborhood are riding on the school bus. All of these experiences, the author though that her family had a pretty normal and simple family (NNDB). In the following chapters of her book, Bone Black, Bell Hooks lengthily discussed how they were raised by their parents to fear the white people in their community. The siblings in their family, whether young or old were always taught that black individuals like them who highly resembled white people would have a life better in the world. The author, through her childhood...

...Historically, the role of girlhood is taught at a very early age with toys and miniature versions of household items. According to Catherine Driscoll, she identifies girlhood as “ “girl” things, “girl” behaviors, and experience of girlhood.” (Driscoll) In this spatial analysis I will describe the contents in a girls interior playhouse bedroom as it relates to girlhood. Also, I will give a critical analysis of the items placed in the room, the political position of the room, and the message it sends to girls today.

...In order to do this a man must have his family and must be financially stable. This place is usually somewhere in the forest according to Mark W. Muessee the professor who gave the lecture on Hinduism. The fourth and final stage of the life cycle is a stage that not many men accomplish. During this final stage of life men are to renounce their former identity along with anything known with it. He is to leave his family and his wife and all of his belongings. The color of renunciation that these men where is orange. In classical Hinduism women were to follow three stages in the cycle of life. Now typically women follow the same stages of life that men do. The three stages women preciously followed were the girlhood stage, the household stage, and the widowhood stage. The girlhood stage is when parents protect your virginity and you are completely pure. As a child you are protected by your father, and a youth your husband protects you, and in old age your sons protect you. Unlike men, women do not get to go to school, they are usually educated by their parents. Marriage is something that is taken...

...When G. Stanley Hall first introduced adolescence as its own age group, he changed the way that society would view girlhood. In Hall’s publication, Adolescence, he characterized this age group of being between the ages of 14 to 24 and exhibiting attention and risk-seeking behaviors, especially when it came to discovering your sexuality. Adolescents would go through what he described as “storm and stress” and would be in this state of unstableness until they found a middle ground as aged closer to adulthood. This new view of adolescence began in the early 1900s, around the same time that movies were reaching a wider audience and become more technological advanced. As adolescent girls were portrayed more frequently in films, they gave these...

...different cultures from around the world, each as valuable and complex as mainstream American culture. An easy way to be reminded of this significance is through the arts; film being an extremely successful method. The reason for film’s success in this area is that they are able to transport the viewer into a whole new world, with complex cultures and different experiences. Films featuring gender from various foreign cultures are vital as they off a higher level of understanding of the diversity of cultural norms. A struggle that can be universally understood is the theme of having no place of belonging in a male dominated society. This concept is beautifully displayed in Céline Sciamma’s 2014 film “Girlhood”, as well as in Darrell Roodt’s 2004 film “Yesterday”. In the French film “Girlhood”, the main character Marieme faces rejection in a male dominated society. Early on, she realizes her limited prospects as a black woman from a rough area who has just failed out of school. Seeing the graveness of her situation, she decides to start spending time with a gang of spirited girls.

She changes her name and appearance, priding herself in her gang and their reputation. In a society where Marieme...

...Short Essay on Dowry System in India: In our Indian society there are numerous problems like superstitions, illiteracy, cast system and dowry system, etc. It is surprising that in these days of the 20th century even, we are still drowned in the dark depth of these evils. One of the worst evils of Indian Society is the dowry system. The word ‘dowry’ means the property and money that a bride brings to her husband’s house at the time of her marriage. It is a custom that is prevalent in all the sections of our society in one form or the other. At the beginning it was voluntary, but later on the social pressure was such that very few could escape from it. The dowry at present is a source of both joy and curse in the society. It is also a joy to the husband and his relatives who get cash, costly dress and utensils, furniture, bedding materials, etc. But, it is a curse to the bride’s parents who have to bear enormous cost to satisfy the unreasonable demands of the bridegroom’s party. A demand of dowry does not diminish even after marriage. The in-laws of the bride are very much ready in Indian homes to inflict harassment, insults and tortures-both mental and physical. When more pressure is put on the bride’s parents, their dear daughter has no other option but to commit suicide to avoid more insult and torture at the hands of the members of her husband’s family. Also read: Social Issues in India (causes, effects and solutions) This curse of Dowry System must be eradicated...

...In order to capitalize sales for a particular audience, Agee Pyrex uses gender stereotypes and norms about married women and cooking. They use the stereotype of a newly-wed woman cooking beside an on watching man. Along with imagery of married women cooking, the company also added text that catered to the idea a cooking wife. Agee Pyrex stated that all women’s “girlhood dreams” has always been “planning lovely means for her man” (Agee). The logic used by Agee Pyrex comes from preconceived notions about women, cooking, and marriage. Society assumed that the typical role for women in marriage is to be the cook for the household. Therefore, Agee Pyrex uses the argument that because women are perceived as the cook in marriage, then advertisements catering to the idea of women as cooks, will increase sales. This argument makes logical sense because if and only if the premise is true, one can formulate that conclusion. However, because the premise is now known to be false, to formulate the same conclusion would not be logical, but instead, rhetorical. The advertisement incorrectly assumes gender roles in marriage, which oftentimes does not hold validity. Cooking in marriage is not a one gender role, but...

...rolled neatly up over his biceps and had the cleanest cab I ever saw. He must seemed okay or I wouldn’t have gotten in the truck with him” (Veselka 38). Veselka’s detailed descriptions, proves how deceptive Rhoades can be. A man whose appearance masked his lack of credibility, purposely victimize women whose appearance lack credibility. Veselka’s raises awareness of the combined social neglect of the countless girls who vanished and gone unnoticed. She says, “This investigation of mine was a ghost story. The prism of Regina Walters, Shana Holts, and Lisa Pennal refracted into a set of icons-one with the shorn red-gold hair and an expression of resilience, and slightly crazy and ready to fight – each casting her own light, each hologram of girlhood” (53). By acknowledging them, Veselka also validates herself since they all share the same story....

...time Gatsby and the love of his life, Daisy, were both deeply in love. Daisy is now married to another man named Tom. He spends all his time and effort trying to get Daisy back and getting her attention. Also, one might say that Gatsby is jealous of the riches around him. He is believed to be “green with envy” because he throws these huge exaggerated and fancy parties to greet and relate to the rich people around him. Also, the color white is a very important color in the novel. The color white is mostly used to portray innocence and purity. When Fitzgerald uses the color white he is usually using it to describe Daisy and children. He describes them using white mainly because it is such a pure color. A quote from the novel, “Our white girlhood was passed here. Our beautiful white-” (p.19) Another quote, “High in a white palace the king’s daughter,” portrays Daisy with both innocence and class. Although the color white symbolizes Daisy and makes her seem innocent there is a side the light hides. It is very ironic because Daisy is a married woman but meets up with her old lover, Gatsby. Daisy and Gatsby meet each other for the first time in years. He also wears a white suit for the first time seeing her. Lastly, the color yellow plays a huge role in the novel. Gatsby’s world was filled with the color yellow. At his many parties he hosted, yellow cocktail music was played.
