    Alice Walker’s “Roselily”, when first read considered why she decided to use third person. Especially when the story is in such a private line of thought, but then after my second time reading the story I decided that Roselily would not be a strong enough woman to speak about the social injustices that have happened to her. One key part of the story is her new life she will be facing after she is married in Chicago, while comparing it with her old life she is leaving in Mississippi. In Chicago she will no longer have a job, but instead be a homemaker where she will be responsible for the children and home. Also, in Chicago she will become a Muslim because it is what her new husband will want her to be, but back in Mississippi she was of the Christian faith. One of the more positive outcomes of her marriage is that she will go from extreme poverty, to not having to worry about money on a day to day basis.

  • Mother Teresa: The Saint of Calcutta

    “Let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.” Mother Teresa was the type of lady who always had a smile on her face and she would never let anything ruin her mood. Mother Teresa was a “saint” in Calcutta. Mother Teresa, who’s native name was Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, wasn’t always the person who helped others. She lived a different lifestyle before she became such a saint. Keep in mind, Calcutta was not particularly the best place to live at the time of Mother Teresa. After her nun experience, Teresa began the stages of “motherhood.” This was the time where her teaching career really took off. After teaching, Teresa realized her moment to shine was helping others. She then began the Missionaries of Charity. There was never just one charity, no. Mother Teresa began a few because she felt not only one was enough. Other than the Missionaries of Charity, Teresa had been involved in a few other non-religious activities. For her kindness and helpfulness, Teresa was awarded many prizes for what she did for others. She didn’t only help children, she also was very assistive to elders. Mother Teresa suffered some illness for quite some time before her passing. When she finally did, people praised her and Teresa received the title of a legend from many, including the Pope. Mother Teresa’s tireless efforts won her great fame and she received her image from the concern for the world’s most helpless people.

  • The Symbolism Of The Book 'Roses In The Novel'

    405 Words  | 1 Pages

    To begin, I will be characterizing most of the characters and showing the symbol of the roses in this novel. Many of the characters in the book were kind. First off there was Martha who was kind to Mary in many ways. One of the ways was said “If you don’t trouble ‘em, most of ‘em’ll work away underground for a lifetime an’ spread out an’ have little ‘uns,” (Burnett 82). This context shows that Martha gives Mary information to help her succeed instead of helping her fail. Another time Martha is kind is stated “’ Martha’s mother sent me a skipping rope,’” (Burnett 117). Knowing this can show that Martha could have not given the skipping rope to Mary but she did which shows she is kind and caring to Mary. Secondly there is Dickon who is very kind
