    “She is wearing a necklace of hickeys, a black mini skirt, a pair of three-inch heels she bought two weeks ago on her 14th birthday” this sentence, for example, illustrates the character, Tequila, who is only 14 but already has experienced many things (227). What made me angry about this article was the reality of what these characters faced. The amount of crime, and the shootings, at a young age. However, what I found interesting about this was how it became different when the new drugs came. “’My people took your ideas and totally bent it and turned it around and took away any of the pride or the respect that was in a gang (235).’” Stager does an effective job in intertwining the scenes with the history of Los Angeles gangs. It allows you to understand the changes of the gangs, whereas newspapers, and other newscast would simply showcase the amount of homicide and gangs violence there has been in LA since the

    In the history of women’s rights, and their leaders, few can compare with the determination and success of Lucy Stone. While many remember Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony for being the most active fighters for women’s rights, perhaps Stone is even more important. The major goal for women in this time period was gaining women’s suffrage. That is what many remember or associate with the convention at Seneca Falls.

  • Nelly Dean

    946 Words  | 2 Pages

    In 1847, writer Emily Brontë published Wuthering Heights under the pseudonym Ellis Bell. Brontë published her novel during the 19th century when women were treated unfairly and never given the chance to be taken seriously. Brontë wanted her novel to be read and judged the same as any man’s work, so she chose to be ambiguous to eliminate biased criticism. Many critics despised Brontë’s novel, but others praised her imagination. Her work is filled with vivid imagery, supernatural elements, intense passion, and a complex narrative structure. Although Brontë elaborately describes the events and dialogue in the novel, the accuracy of the events are questionable. The main story-line is told by Nelly Dean, the housekeeper, through Lockwood’s narration. Brontë chose to use Nelly to give the reader a sense of energy and exciting action. Written with dramatic dialogue and energetic tone, every page told by Nelly Dean is invigorating, interesting, and at times hypocritical. Nelly’s closeness to the Earnshaw family, desire to be presented in a positive light, and knowledge of all conversations verbatim reveals to the reader that Nelly may have altered the truth of the events.
