Recommended: Gender stereotypes in literature for women

She wasn’t anything special. She hadn’t achieved anything, nobody loved her, she had nothing to lose. He, however, was the opposite. They were 14 when he first saw her. Alex was handsome, with bright blue eyes and blonde hair, which was perfectly styled. All of the girls in his year at school were lining up to be his girlfriend, all of them, except her. She was different, and it was that that drew him to her. Wherever she went, she always left a scent of mystery behind her. Nobody else seemed to notice her milky white skin, or her hair as black as a raven’s. She was intriguing, and once he’d glanced at her, he found it almost impossible to tear his eyes away. She was oblivious. She was just trying to pass her time at school without getting in anybody’s way. She never spoke to anyone, and she certainly never dared to look at anyone for longer than 2 seconds. Nobody noticed her, and that was the way she liked it. Over the next week, the two of them passed each other now and again, and she never seemed to pay any attention to him. He couldn’t u...

  • Sarah and Angelina Grimké

    1974 Words  | 4 Pages

    Up until and during the mid -1800’s, women were stereotyped and not given the same rights that men had. Women were not allowed to vote, speak publically, stand for office and had no influence in public affairs. They received poorer education than men did and there was not one church, except for the Quakers, that allowed women to have a say in church affairs. Women also did not have any legal rights and were not permitted to own property. Overall, people believed that a woman only belonged in the home and that the only rule she may ever obtain was over her children. However, during the pre- Civil war era, woman began to stand up for what they believed in and to change the way that people viewed society (Lerner, 1971). Two of the most famous pioneers in the women’s rights movement, as well as abolition, were two sisters from South Carolina: Sarah and Angelina Grimké.

    Looking out across the stone-paved road, she watched the neighborhood inside the coffee colored fence. It was very similar to hers, containing multiple cookie-cutter homes and an assortment of businesses, except no one was there was her color and no one in her neighborhood was their color. All of them had chocolate skin with eyes and hair that were all equally dark. Across the road to her right, a yellow fence contained honey colored people. She enjoyed seeing all the little, squinted almond eyes, much smaller then her own, which were wide set and round. One little, sunshine colored boy with dark straight hair raised his arm and waved his hand, but before she could do the same back her father called her into the house. His lips were pressed and his body was rigid, the blue of his eyes making direct contact with her

  • Unmasking Pain: A Review of 'Faking Normal'

    1226 Words  | 3 Pages

    Not only is her prose lilting and easy to lose yourself in, but it is sparse when needed and the words capture the raw emotions of these teenagers in a way nothing else possibly can. Although Bodee’s growth and hurt is only briefly touched upon throughout the story arc, we truly manage to delve inside Alexi’s head and heart, feeling her pain and sorrow and loneliness. While Alexi, unlike Bodee, still has her entire family with her, she is close with neither of them, least of all her sister Kayla whose dominating personality has always overshadowed her own. Thus, the relationship that blossoms between Bodee and Alexi, one of trust and friendship, carries so much weight throughout the novel. Moreover, the subtle romance that occurs between the two is understated, but heart-felt. For me, the best part is that the words “I love you” are never uttered – it doesn’t need to
