The novel, The Underdogs by Mariano Azuela is a great perception of the Mexican Revolution. The stories of exploits and wartime experiences during the Mexican Revolution was fundamentally driven by the men. The war was between the people and the government. Throughout the novel, these men had to isolate themselves from their families and battle for a cause they greatly believed in. Even with not enough resources, the people were able to fight aggressively in order to overthrow the government. Regardless of the men who were at war, there were two females who played a significant role in the Mexican Revolution, Camila and War Paint. While the representation Mariano Azuela captures these ladies and their role in society are accurate, he neglects

In Federico García Lorca’s La Casa de Bernarda Alba, a tyrant woman rules over her five daughters and household with absolute authority. She prevents her daughters from having suitors and gives them little to no freedom, especially with regard to their sexualities and desires. They must conform to the traditional social expectations for women through sewing, cleaning, as well as staying pure and chaste. While, as John Corbin states in The Modern Language Review, “It was entirely proper for a respectable woman in [Bernarda’s] position to manage her household strictly and insist that the servants keep it clean, to defend its reputation, ensure the sexual purity of her daughters, and promote advantageous marriages for them,” Bernarda inordinately

It is said children learn the most when they are younger; usually between the ages of nine and fourteen. This is why after school programs, sports and extra-curricular activities are important. The mind of a child between the ages of nine and fourteen is like a sponge taking in, observing and mimicking behavior they see. There are numerous factors that can contribute to this, to name a few; the type of household, a child’s friends and the family’s socioeconomic status.

In the literary, Woman Hollering Creek by Sandra Cisneros we are able to analyze the short story through a feminist perspective, due to the feminist critical critical theory. A literary criticism has at least three primary purposes in developing critical thinking skills, enabling us to understand, analyze, and judgement works of literature, of any type of literature. It resolves any questions or problem within a literary work that we do not understand from merely reading the literature. Look into multiple alternative outcomes to the literature and decide which the better outcome in the end is. Form our own judgements, our thoughts about what we feel from the literature.

She appeals to the emotions by providing a sort of imagery through the use of certain phrases such as “watching his 1984 Chevy Nova cough its last breaths” that makes the reader feel bad for this young man. He is a hard- working man, but cannot get a stable job and has to drive a car that is practically giving up on him and will stop working at any given moment. But then she transitions to talk about his progress by getting a way better paying job that provides benefits. She manages to appeal to emotions by quoting Mr. Caceido on “but nobody just wants to move in with their in-laws” (Cohen) because it must feel terrible for a man to work so hard yet not be able to provide a house for his wife and children. Cohen goes on to tell of Mr. Grayson, a construction worker, who works with mainly Spanish speaking workers. The language barrier makes it extremely difficult for Mr. Grayson to communicate and that sometimes lead to others doubting his abilities. After a foreman demonstrated his skepticism about Grayson’s, abilities he says that he “had to prove this man wrong,” that pushed him to sharpen his construction skills. After joining a union, Grayson now makes over twenty dollars an hour and was able to open his first bank account. Although it may not seem like dramatic changes to the reader, Cohen reminds us that “for those on the lower rungs of the income ladder,

Men were taught to be superior to women since the dawn of time, whereas females were looked down upon. Ruled by patriarchy, it was hard for most of these women to do more than just be a stay at home wife. In some of the stories we have read, the women were portrayed as submissive, obedient, with no voice. Women have struggled to break out of this mold and find a voice for themselves. However, some managed to break out of these expectations and standards. Women and men have had to fulfill different set standards before anyone had stepped foot outside the womb. For both genders those standards came with different expectations.
In her essay, entitled “Women’s History,” American historian Joan W. Scott wrote, “it need hardly be said that feminists’ attempts to expose ‘male biases’ or ‘masculine ideology’ embedded in historical writing have often met with ridicule or rebuttal of as expressions of ‘ideology.’” Scott’s essay discusses the efforts of female historians to both integrate themselves into the history disciples and their struggle to add and assimilate female perspectives, influences, and undertakings into the overall story of history.
