The Significance Of The Feed In Violet's '
Violet has consistently struggled with the feed since she was little. On a daily basis, Violet disagrees and tests the feeds values. When Violet was little she grew up in a family that wasn't as fortunate as other families living in this society. Violet got the feed later than most kids because she couldn’t pay for it. Her dad raised her to value school and knowledge which set Violet apart from the others. Violet is a peculiar but refreshing character in this society, with this being said she has substantial reasons for why she rejects the feed. Not having the feed has made Violet different and has had an impact on her identity. This can be seen when she is talking and everybody sees the difference in her vocabulary and questions why this is.

    This is a very interesting phrase that described Nettie’s situation perhaps better than anything to this point. Walker does a fantastic job executing this phrase and embedding it within the chapter. It gets readers thinking deeply about the place of Christ in such a situation or even if he has a place at all. This is an intriguing idea and very well placed in the novel. It also connects to the later discussion of the place and vision of God.…

    Because Yellow Fever has taken over Philadelphia, Mattie must say goodbye many times despite how difficult it may be. Mattie said goodbye to Mother when she left for the countryside, when she lost the coffeehouse, and when Grandfather passed away.

Right before he was about to pass away, Mattie kept denying it due to the fact that she did not want it to happen. Anderson writes, “Anything but this” (147). This is significant because it shows how much Mattie loved Grandfather and how hard it was to say goodbye. They were extremely close and Mattie had to witness his death, and even…

    Another phrase that shows her maternal nature is when Steinbeck writes ‘She consoled him “Don’t you worry none. He was jus’ a mutt’”. This shows that she is trying to make a connection with Lennie and reassure him. She treats him as a child and this shows that although she has a temperamental personality she doesn’t mean to cause trouble and conflict between the ranch workers, she is just trying to cope with a life that she didn’t chose.…

    Throughout The Color Purple, and Memoirs of a Geisha, Alice Walker and Arthur Golden respectively present the struggle individuals face to establish self-empowerment within oppressive societies. Both authors explore the degrading effects that marital relationships have on individuals by setting their texts in a society where mostly everyone conforms to the presented social expectations that women cannot depend on themselves. It is also made apparent by Walker and Golden that due to gender stereotypes, characters both female and male continuously contend with themselves to be empowered. However, towards the denouement of the texts, Walker shows that due to adopting a positive mindset Celie is able to achieve individuality whereas Golden suggests…
