    Girl By Aaron Devoor

    In today’s society, people tend to group one and an another into different categories according to their own social identity. An individual’s gender identity refers to which group where one belongs to. The attributes assigned to both males and females are different because of gender differences. In “Becoming members of Society: Learning the Social Meanings of Gender” by Aaron Devor, the author argues that factors such as beliefs and behaviors help differentiate the sexual identity of a person. In addition, Devor views sex as an instrument of determining gender. It is believed that there are only two types of sexes that exist. Which are male and female. On the other hand, “Girl”, by Jamaica Kincaid, the mother tries to forces prescribe behavior,…

    Larissa S Rough Draft Poetry Essay

    The entire poem is written with a tone of sadness or depression. This evokes the senses of the reader by being able to sense how the girl is feeling and see how the words of others affect her. It can be pictured, this little girl who plays with the Barbie doll and it is just a toy, but to others it is the appearance that society wants and she soon realizes that when a fellow classmate hurts her with mean words. She can not go on with the fear that everyone sees her as imperfect or flawed, so in the end she gives up on trying and eventually gives up on herself. A simile in the poem, “Her good nature wore out/like a fan belt,” the message here is that she has given up on everything.…

    True Fate of Homer Barron

    Before coming to a conclusion as to what really happened several ideas from the story have to come in to play. When her father died she couldn't accept it and it took several people to convince her that he was dead and to let them bury the body. According to the townspeople he ran off her suitors and robbed her of finding true love and fulfillment. She never seemed able to accept the fact that time was passing and things were changing and maybe this led to her having a fear of being alone. Last but not least she was probably tired of all the town talking about her all the time and may have believed this was her way of solving the talk and being left alone. She did have an image to uphold.…

    Grealy Character Analysis

    In college, she somewhat finds herself and who she really is. She became infatuated with her face and how she could have her face back. Her disability was part of her identity because it was something that she saw everyday in the mirror. It was a part of her and made her who she was and how she managed herself. Her lack of confidence came from her disproportionate face, which she will hide with her hair. Over time when she is more comfortable in her own skin she cuts her hair and no longer has what protects her from the looks of others. “As a child I had expected my liberation to come from getting a new face to put on, but now I saw it came from shedding something, shedding my image.” (Grealy, 222) Through her journey she discovered that society wants you to be what they perceive as…
