Summary Of The Woman's Sister

272 Words2 Pages

The woman’s sister challenges the concept of development, because she still holds on to her tribe’s traditional values and refuses to try to save her sister’s life. She doesn’t want to try to take her to the hospital so she might be able to survive, even if the actual science could probably cure her. Her judgment is not totally fair, because she is biased by her values. Even though it is totally understandable that the tribe and the sick woman herself want to stick to their traditions, their mentally is completely opposite to the concept of development.
The author also challenges these definitions, because the way he basically forced the woman’s family to take her to the hospital, even if it was against their beliefs, certainly wasn’t fair.

    791 Words  | 4 Pages

    In the film, Sister Aloysius persists as an interesting, multidimensional character because of her strict rules with students, her suspicion and guard with Father Flynn, and her loving and caring relationships with her fellow sisters.

    Do you know that Shakespeare is not the only gifted writer in his family? This mysterious member exists in the English writer Virginia Woolf’s imagination. In her famous essay “Shakespeare’s Sister,” Woolf uses the hypothetical anecdote of Judith Shakespeare as her main evidence to argue against a dinner guest, who believes that women are incapable of writing great literature.

Regarding her potential audience, educated men, as “conservative,” Woolf attempts to persuade them that social discouragement is the real cause of the lack of great female writers without irritating them by proposing “radical” arguments.
