I have been reading the book " Whiskey words & a shovel " by R.H. Sin it is a poem book about his feelings and his thoughts about relationships and women. He is a feminist and talked about how women should be treated and how they deserve better than what they get and I love it. I respect Sins' work so much I like what he writes, how he writes it and why he writes it. It is beautiful art it if good good having a male feminist that writes about how he feels and is not afraid to say whats on his mind. In this book he mentions how men are afraid of a women's strength, the fullness of the waves in her ocean so much that they would prefer less and that is okay because women do not need to be less to be with a man they should be their best and never be thought of being less like the men that Sin is referring to think. When a woman has so , she should have someone who sees that and cherishes it.
I was so interested in Sins work because he writes

If you give respect you will get respect. " Connect with some who is willing to spend time connecting with you.' so basically give to that to who give to you, be there for the people that are there for you. Partnership is a two way street, and no one should be getting less than what they are giving. Another thing that kept my eyes wide opened what that there was a poem that said "we've become a prison and I am planning to escape from you," and that is so deep to me because o one should feel trapped in a relationship that is not healthy for any one. but it also makes me rethink of why they have not left their partner yet. that is just so sad that the have not left an unhealthy relationship. Although it is an unhealthy relationship it is a good sign that they are planning to leave, but it might not be so easy to walk away sometimes things are more easier said that done and that is the lousy
Feminism isn't about making women strong. Women are already strong. It's about changing the way the world perceives that strength." —G.D. Anderson Feminism has been an issue in our society for a very long period of time and has been shown in movies, the media and novels. The novel “Lullabies for Little Criminals” by Heather O’Neil demonstrates an extreme case of feminism as the protagonist is shown to be manipulated by men as a way to survive in the current society.
Before finishing this book I declared that I hated this book and that it was very one sided and written in some woman’s ignorant way of thinking that women need to be seen in this light. But the further I read along I began to understand and grasp the real concept. I would definitely recommend this book to any trying feminist who want to get the message out because the evidence is in it. We as a society have to change. We have to stop diminishing the appreciation of women, change our perspective, and respect our community as well being open and vulnerable to these changes.
He comes to terms at the end, saying that “sin was what you took and didn’t give back.” This literary work is told through the use of several rhetorical devices, including imagery, symbolism, and
Equality 7-2521 was just trying to fit in, but “It was not that the learning was too hard for us. It was that learning was too easy.” So, his sin is ultimately his willingness and dedication for
In carrying out this action knowing it was a sin shows how the man's mind is unstable and not in good standing. No person in their right mind carries out an action and wanting to sin while doing so. Moreover the short story “The Devil and Tom Walker” by Washington Irving as well depicts the reoccurring theme of psychological issues. With is wife having been missing, “Tom Walker grew so anxious about the fate of his wife and property he set out to seek them” (Irving 327). This quote depicts the mental issues Tom is experiencing with a lost wife and property in
He fears that he has lost God’s grace, or fears that others may tempt him into sin. Uncertain of his place and of the intentions of others, he attempts to find the sin before it may taint him further. However, sin’s taint had already reached him. Weighted down by his constant search for certainty, Goodman Brown became “a sad” and “desperate man” (395). His sin haunted him until his final breath, “for his dying hour was gloom” (395).
“Poetry Is Not a Luxury” (1982) intertwines feminism and poetry together. Author Audre Lorde says that for women, “poetry is not a luxury, but a necessity of our existence” (Lorde, 1982, pg. 281). In today’s society, women’s opinions aren’t really expressed, because it’s not widely accepted in this man-built world. Lorde’s quote “poetry is not a luxury, but a necessity of our existence” means that women should use their voices and channel their energy into poetry. Since poetry is accepted, women aren’t being deviant.
After skimming through Volume 1 of The Norton Anthology Literature by Women, I noticed the reoccurring themes of patriarchy, women subordination, and the strength to be creative despite oppression. During the times that these literary pieces were written, women were constantly battling the patriarchy in order to get basic rights. During the earlier time periods, intelligence was seen as a sign of an evil spirit in a woman, resulting in miniscule amounts of literary works written by women. Women were not provided with equal spaces to creatively express themselves, as mentioned by Virginia Woolf. Moreover, they were not given the same publishing opportunities, many women either went anonymous or by a fake male name to have their works published.
Literary Analysis ENG2106 Student name: Li Michaela Bernice Student ID: 4002551 Word count: Grace and sins Flannery O’Connor was a Southern author from America who frequently wrote in a Southern Gothic style and depended vigorously on local settings and bizarre characters. Her works likewise mirrored her Roman Catholic faith and regularly examined questions of morality and ethics. She created violence in the end of both “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” and “Everything that Rises Must Converge” to put the stories to the end. She asserted that she has found that violence is strangely capable of returning her characters to reality and preparing them to accept their moment of grace, and also violence is the extreme situation that best reveals who
John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath is a classic American novel that shows the difficulties migrant workers had to go through during the Great Depression. The novel’s intercalary chapters use setting, syntax and other literary elements to depict the hardships that migrant families went through and to create a tone of despair in the story. Body Paragraph 1: By using both syntax and diction, Steinbeck develops a tone of despair in the Intercalary Chapter 25 of the grapes of wrath.
I would most likely recommend it to other women because the book is about an empowering woman who spoke up for others who could not speak up for
Feminist Criticism allows to understand the meaning and importance of literature when relating to the male-female power
In her short story “A Good Man is Hard to Find,” Flannery O’Connor tackles the issue of grace, showing that no matter the person, everyone can attain and earn grace. The grandmother and the Misfit, though they appear to be quite different people, are both the same at the core: They are sinners in need of Christ. The Misfit and the grandmother are both capable of change and accepting God, but only the grandmother reaches this revelation before her death. Grace is one of the most important ideas in the Bible and Christianity. Grace is “the love of God shown to the unlovely; the peace of God given to the restless; the unmerited favor of God,” (Holcomb).
Sin is inevitable. Every person sins, one way or another. Sinning is impossible to avoid even with “practice.” “Young Goodman Brown” by Nathaniel Hawthorne shows readers that. Goodman Brown wants to believe he is a good man, and perhaps he is; but he is tempted by sin all the same.
Augustine’s conception of the sin in The Confessions is vastly different from today’s version of sin. In the modern world, Christian sin is mainly focused on the seven deadliest whereas Saint Augustine added more onto this list. The book mainly explores St. Augustine’s struggle for celibacy and converting himself to Christianity. Augustine also created a concept he termed as original sin. Original sin states that sin is inherently within all of us, we are all born evil and thus have to fight to be good.
