In a kingdom called Daha, there lived a wise king named Kertamarta. He lived with his two beautiful daughters, Galuh Ajeng and Candra Kirana, in his palace. Candra Kirana was happily engaged to Raden Inu Kertapati, prince of the Kahuripan Kingdom.
Raden Inu Kertapati was a handsome man with a kind heart. All the girls were swooning over him, including the sister of his fiancée. Galuh Ajeng had been fuming when Raden Inu Kertapati got engaged to her beloved sister. That traitor! Her jealousy got the better of her, and she planned on getting her prince charming back.
Galuh Ajeng’s jealousy grew the more she saw how happy those two lovebirds were. I’m the one who should be wrapped around his arms. I can love him more than her. He deserves me! She wanted to hurt her own sister so bad. After keeping her jealousy hidden for too long, she decided that enough was enough, so she went to a witch who lived in the kingdom.
“Oh, please, help me. I will give you whatever you want. I can give you all the wealth in the world if you would just help me get rid of the little pest I have for a sister!” cried Galuh Ajeng.
“What is it that you want me to do, your majesty?” the witch asked.
“I want you to do whatever you need to do to keep her away from me and Raden Inu’s life. Make her life miserable. Turn her into an animal. Just keep her away from me! I’ll make her leave the palace, so you can do your job easily,” Galuh Ajeng was satisfied with herself. Her sister deserved this. “Your payment will be sent here after she’s gone.”
As soon as she got back to the palace, she went straight to King Kertamarta’s room and said to him, “Father, forgive me, but your daughter, my sister, Candra Kirana tried to poison me! She wants to kill me, Father! Ple...

... along with the old woman, came back to the Kingdom of Kertamarta. The princess explained to her father, King Kertamarta, and her fiancée what had happened and said that she does not blame her sister at all. Hearing this, Galuh Ajeng was overcome with guilt and shame that she ran away and never returned. King Kertamarta welcomed his daughter back home and asked for forgiveness. Candra Kirana kind-heartedly forgave her father.
A few months later, a big celebration was held for the marriage of Princess Candra Kirana and Raden Inu Kertapati. They ruled the Kingdom of Kahuripan together with great wisdom and brought prosperity to their people.
And they finally, after 2 years of searching for each other, lived happily ever after.

The bitter cold bit against the starved girl’s skeletal body. She was tired. Her parents discussed ways to get to good lands. They told her the only way to have a better life was to sell her into slavery. The girl, only ten years old was silent. She dreamed of fine clothing and good food. The girl went to the House of Hwang. She was too ugly to be in sight; she was kept in the scullery. All dreams of any kind were lashed out of her young mind. Mistreated, beaten, and underestimated, young O-lan learned to work hard and became resigned to her fate. One day, the Old Mistress summoned her and told her that she was to be married to a poor farmer. The other slaves scoffed, but O-lan was grateful for a chance to be free - they married. O-lan vowed to return to the great house one day in fine clothing with a son. Her resolve was strong; no one could say otherwise. Her years of abuse as a slave had made O-lan wise, stoic, and bitter; whether the events of her life strengthened or weakened her is the question.

Since Sister was affected the most by certain actions of the family, Welty narrated this short story through Sister’s point of view to show how the function of the family declined through these actions. Sister was greatly affected when her sister broke the bonds of sisterhood by stealing her boyfriend and marrying him. Secondly, Sister was affected by the favoritism shown by her family towards her younger sister. Since her sister was favored more than her, this caused her to be jealous of her sister. For example, Sister shows a lot of jealousy by the tone she uses when describing what Stella-Rondo did with the bracelet that their grandfather gave her. Sister’s description was, “She’d always had anything in the world she wanted and then she’d throw it away. Papa-Daddy gave her this gorgeous Add-a-Pearl necklace when sh...

Whereas the relationship between Maha and Harb is one of passion and love, Ihsan and Nadia are the complete opposite. Nadia hates how Ihsan looks at her as a woman always and never a person. She struggles to prove her capability of being an individual and forming an identity of her own that is separate and goes beyond Mrs. Natour. She proves that she can ‘think and feel’ for herself and by herself. In the West where we have women out on the streets rallying for equality between men and women, fighting in the armies, present in the workforce, these victories may seem minute. However if one pays close attention to social structures and social norms in different cultures one can realize that this challenging and questioning is as important and holds as much weight as getting equal wages for women in America.
