Man On The Bus

She thinks, “the word girl had formerly seemed to me innocent and unburdened like the word child: now it appeared that it was no such thing” (6). It is not long before her iron wall breaks down and she succumbs to the voices of others. At the end of the story, the narrator begins to take an interest in traditionally girly things such as lace and frills. She starts thinking about boys and her emotions become more sporadic as she moves through puberty. The narrator’s final stance on her position in the world is conveyed to the reader when her father remarks “nevermind, she’s only a girl” (12), to which she silently agrees.

Considerably the most dominant theme in the novel is one of feminism and the struggle of women, both in America and in Africa, to be free of oppression and discrimination based on their gender. Although the suffragette movement in the US was active from 1848 , it was only in 1920 that women were given national voting rights votes in America. Women clearly had little political voice and black women less so. Primarily through Celie and Shug, Walker represents the inner struggles black women faced in order to free themselves from the dominance of men, additionally conveying how Christian views on the position of women in society strengthened the oppression they faced.

There is also the theme of love in this story between a group of women. Walker tells people that it is ok to love women because they are the same as the other women in the fact that they just want to be safe and loved. There is a controversial

In the movie, the producer discussed about the struggle women, which includes minorities women had to face in America such as cratering for the family, working, and at the same time treated like they were nobody in the society. The ladies with low income rate had to live with cheap cloths and bedroom with no windows. Likewise, there was no law or rules that prevent men from attracting the ladies who decided to protest against the action. It was a patriarchal society. Most women worked at the Triangle short way factory and the men made sure the ladies worked very hard and was pay low wages. Also, the producer analyzed that the women and children were locked in the factory and none of them were able to leave until their hours were completed.

The array of themes lead to the idea of female independence and individuality. Throughout the novel, the themes of identity, feminism, and marriage and love come together to empower women and give them a

3. The message the narrator is trying to portray is to advocate women's rights and educate people on the inequality they faced in the past.

It is through this story; one can feel the hurt and the struggle women have to make living in a male-controlled society where they are treated unfairly. Duong through the tale shows the domination of females basically from men’s desire for power and control. It is believable that the similar demand, which, through history, has motivated men to attempt to dominate other groups in their own society,

The general underlying of the story is about abortion. It allows us to see the different views of both men and women and their reactions when confronted with this

After using the historical approach to analyze this story and researching the author herself I found an underlying theme of freedom from social norms with the plot and the character portrayed contributing to that theme.

Social injustice creates conditions that adversely affect the health of individuals and their communities (Levy, 2006). All individuals should have equal opportunity to meet their basic needs. Levy defines social injustice as the denial or violation of economic, sociocultural, political, civil, or human rights of specific populations or groups in society based on the perception of their inferiority by those with more power or influence. These groups are often negatively stereotyped and struggle to live their lives against opposition from those with influence over them. Social injustice must be addressed to prevent the further mistreatment of individuals who are not being treated equally in the population.

Bus rides are normally boring. But it is an intangible organizer and an escape from reality. Spending more than two hours on the bus each day has forced me to find a way to make it at enjoyable to the least.

femininity she is drives the narratives towards the truth. The masquerade that comes with these characters raise the problems of sexual difference in a patriarchal culture.

After the incident when the two youths attack her, "she felt danger [in] becoming "herself"" [page 774], and that "she was in danger of becoming an individual". [Page 774] It seems as if all of her life she was hidden behind this mask so that she could feel separate from the rest of the world. What society is now telling not only this young girl, but also the rest of the world, is that women have the beauty and men have the brains. During this day and age women are allowed in schools, and allowed to have jobs, but they are still discriminated against the way they act, dress and whom they hang out with. Society is an invisible wall, which discourages people from becoming themselves. On the contrary, dating back a few years, Mernissi introduces the women before the revolution. Her story is about a young lady who is born and raised in a Harlem. She is confined in her Arabic culture where "both men and women worked from dawn until very late at night. But men made money and women did not". [Page 780] The woman here do not have the freedoms that the women do in Lispectors short story, they do not have the freedom of choice or speech. Their religious traditions are their invisible walls that hold them back from becoming who they are and who they should be. Time may have passed but their problems only grow different instead

On September 19, 2016 I took the Queens College Shuttle busses. I took one in the morning around 8:00 am near the LIRR stop in Jamaica. When getting on the bus I wasn’t required to show my ID card. I sat around the middle section and I notice there wasn't as much students as I thought there would be. The route of the bus would go on Main street makes a stop at Queens Hall then go around the campus to Kissena blvd and enter campus from the Student Union.
