  • In The Combat Zone Summary

    776 Words  | 2 Pages

    The article “In the Combat Zone” was written by Leslie Marmon Silko. In her article she makes many valid examples of how women are treated like easy prey. Women are afraid to go out at night alone, because that is when numerous rapes and kidnappings take place. Although most rapes, kidnappings, and robberies happen at night, there are still cases that have occurred during the daylight. Silko gave several examples of these daylight occurrences. She also states that a woman’s mindset of being in a combat zone differs by how the woman was raised. If a woman was raised to depend on others, then that woman would be a higher target. If a woman was raised to defend herself and be dependent, then that woman would be less of a target because they would not show fear.

  • How Does Earle Support The Guerrillas

Historian Jonathon Earle writes, “when the Civil War swept on to the border, women became the quartermasters of the guerrilla war effort, with their domestic skills becoming highly valued military tools.” One example to support Earle’s claim, is the event that arguably was the cause of the raid on Lawrence Kansas.
