  • Yvonne Allen's Narrative

    237 Words  | 1 Pages

    Yvonne Allen does not have any right to wear her headscarf in her licence photo due to the security issues it would create. She believes that her rights are being infringed upon, but doesn't realize that a licence is a privilege not a right. It is hard to argue this fact when it says literally nowhere in any law or precedent that any U.S. citizen has any right to a licence. Allen only uses two defenses one of which is how her faith is tested “in a way that was humiliating and demeaning”(8), a judge will never consider this as a good defense on why she should get her licence, because it is based on emotions not law. Her other defense was how Muslim women were allowed to wear their own headscarves in their driver's license photos, but this seems

    For my mom, when the doctors told her she was cured, it was the end of her physical suffering with breast cancer, but the battle with breast cancer has not ended. The ending experience of her physical pain, and the removal of the tumour itself is what Frank calls the restitution narrative. Specifically, he describes this narrative as when the individual’s physical body returns back to its initial healthy state (Frank 2013, 90). Despite her pain suffering ending, her battle with societal expectations, and an established culture of cancer has not. I use Frank’s quest narrative as a way of demonstrating society’s expectation of a cancer survivor having a quest narrative after coming out alive, and the impacts of these standards.

  • Susan Sontag Illness At A Metaphor Analysis

Tuberculosis comes from a Latin word that means, “a morbid swelling, protuberance, projection or growth,” (Sontag 10). Both diseases were regarded as diseases that consumed the body however, tuberculosis is a disease that affected the lungs, while cancer can affect any part of the body.

Tuberculosis has visible symptoms, such as coughing and fevers, while cancer symptoms are typically undetectable until it is in the later stages.
