Ursa and Generations
It is difficult to come up with a logical explanation of why Ursa's doctors decided to remove her womb and therefore leaving her infertile after suffering a fall down the stairs. She was described as three months pregnant at the time of the fall, so her losing the fetus makes sense, but this hardly seems to justify taking her womb out.
Ursa places full blame on Mutt and he stands out as the logical person toward whom she harbors all of her resentment. He was drunk at the time of her accident and from prior account Mutt was insanely jealous, protective and did not want Ursa working. One can not help but wonder how many black women during this period of American History were given hysterectomies for irrational reasons.
It seems Ursa's emotions are pulled in different directions. Unfortunately, she not only had to deal with the physical and emotional pain of not being able to bear children but also confronted the reality that the history of her family and Corregidora would end with her.
At times, I found it selfish of Great-Gram and Gram to burden the story of Corregidora on Ursa at such a young age. I understand that they did not wish their history and memories to die with them, but the way in which Ursa responds with her emotions indicated to me she was traumatized by their memories. Once she became infertile, she was not able to completely heal emotionally, and she felt she was not complete or not woman enough because she did not have a womb.
Ursa became the vessel of Gram's and Great-Gram's unrecorded history, and even if she did not know it, she was filled with all their hurt, anger and humiliation. The way for her to release these feelings would have been to "create
(pg. 75) Because of Baartman’s race, Europeans linked her to an animal who is apart of nature as opposed to a human being. Like wise, in Mastering the Female Pelvis, Sims and Harris depicted the slave women as inherently more durable than white women, they described the black women to be durable like a car, not in reference to a human being (272). Sims often argued that the slave women were able to endure excruciating pain because slavery “prepared” the women for the surgeries. In present day black women are still looked at as being strong women, but with that description comes negative. In society, people often think that black women can endure any and everything that causes pain, as Dr. Kuumba once stated in class that her doctor compared her to an animal after giving her a shot.
The author’s purpose for writing the book was to help families who are struggling with infertility, miscarriage, and adoption. The author was able to fulfill her purpose throughout the book with stories and personal experiences. For example, when she gave a history of her grief with three miscarriages and five to seven adoption lost. She was able to relate to families dealing with each situation because she had experienced all three herself.
The story also focuses in on Ruth Younger the wife of Walter Lee, it shows the place she holds in the house and the position she holds to her husband. Walter looks at Ruth as though he is her superior; he only goes to her for help when he wants to sweet talk his mama into giving him the money. Mama on the other hand holds power over her son and doesn’t allow him to treat her or any women like the way he tries to with Ruth. Women in this story show progress in women equality, but when reading you can tell there isn’t much hope and support in their fight. For example Beneatha is going to college to become a doctor and she is often doubted in succeeding all due to the fact that she is black African American woman, her going to college in general was odd in most people’s eyes at the time “a waste of money” they would say, at least that’s what her brother would say. Another example where Beneatha is degraded is when she’s with her boyfriend George Murchison whom merely just looks at her as arm
Her only option was to move back into her childhood home with her parents. Her father was very disapproving of Jordan because she was once again an unmarried woman, and, to make matters even worse, she was pregnant. This abuse from her father is the second river that she must cross. Her father believes that women should marry and stay married, serving their husbands and taking care of the children.
The Exclusionary Rule is a simple, judge-made rule to prevent illegally seized evidence by police from being admissible. Therefore, if an individual’s Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure is violated, or their Fifth, Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment rights are violated, this can result in the invocation of the Exclusionary Rule. Basically, the Exclusionary Rule has a two-fold purpose to protect an individual’s constitutional rights and to deter police misconduct.
I looked around at everyone in the room and saw the sorrow in their eyes. My eyes first fell on my grandmother, usually the beacon of strength in our family. My grandmother looked as if she had been crying for a very long period of time. Her face looked more wrinkled than before underneath the wild, white hair atop her head. The face of this once youthful person now looked like a grape that had been dried in the sun to become a raisin. Her hair looked like it had not been brushed since the previous day as if created from high wispy clouds on a bright sunny day.
She does not look fondly upon giving birth as she shows it as a fight
...rohibits all unreasonable search and seizures and requires a warrant.”(para. 1). The officers in this case deprived the woman of due process. The lack of a warrant being present upon entering the woman’s home was a clear violation of her constitutional rights as a home owner. “In general, officers can arrest a person (1) for any crime committed in the officer’s presence, (2) for a felony not committed in the officer’s presence if they have probable cause to believe that the person they have arrested committed the felony or, (3) under the authority of a warrant.” (POLICE, 2011, p.183).
Previously, the narrator has intimated, “She had all her life long been accustomed to harbor thoughts and emotions which never voiced themselves. They had never taken the form of struggles. They belonged to her and were her own.” Her thoughts and emotions engulf her, but she does not “struggle” with them. They “belonged to her and were her own.” She does not have to share them with anyone; conversely, she must share her life and her money with her husband and children and with the many social organizations and functions her role demands.
The Exclusionary Rule was finally applied by the United States Supreme Court to the states in Mapp v. Ohio in 1961. This purpose of this rule is to prevent law enforcement from performing any unlawful searches and seizures. This rule states that any and all evidence collected illegally cannot be used as evidence against defendants in court. This rule also states that any evidence collected as an indirect result of illegally obtained evidence would not be admissible in court. This is also known as “the fruit of the poisonous tree.”
...ody parts at the right time while still getting sleep and eating a sensible food. Many people don't understand that you don't grow at the gym; you grow while you are sleeping. If you're hitting the weights every day in the week, than a good night's rest is in order to avoid fatigue and failure. an important difference between an individual who reaches his goals and another who is not doing any effort, his only effort is loudmouthed on the person who tries to be fit without even knowing the amount of sweat he had during workout in the gym." Knowing is enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough: we must do actually i don't think that you will be fit in two or three weeks you can't climb the ladder of success with the hands in the pocket. If there is a will there is a way you have to think of your future from now, you have to push up now for a glory future forever.
A warrant must also be supported by probable cause and the warrant must describe the person person/place that is being searched and seized. One requirement for search and
A reader may ask, why are “her loves” important to the story that unfolds? Clearly, Pejsa discovered that to understand Gratia, one must understand the driving forces – the people she loved – that influenced and shaped her despite the social mores that defined marriage, love and the role of women during that era.
Though she consents to having her birthmark removed, Georgiana’s initial reaction to Aylmer’s shock at her facial defect is to redden “with momentary anger” before dissolving into tears (645); though her secondary reaction fits into the stereotypical female response to a physical critique, the fact that her initial reaction is anger implies that she is more than merely a docile housewife. However, her actions still reflect those of a docile housewife; when he confines her to a dimly lit apartment, she acquiesces solemnly and quietly spends her days doing as Aylmer
To begin, Odysseus was a very headstrong man that knew to do his duties as a king. Odysseus was not only the king of Ithaca; he was a husband, son, and father. For example, when he came home he didn’t act out of anger. He simply stated,’ Be strong, saith my heart; I am a soldier, I have seen worse sights than this’ (Homer). Most men would have gone straight to killing after seeing the betrayal of people. Not only that, but the fact that men were trying to be with his wife. Odysseus saw way more than just that he had seen his own crew members die. They called his name then were killed. When he did come back Aphrodite disguised him and when he came to his home as a beggar the suitors treated him horrible, but they did not know who he truly was. His son Telemachus told Eureclyia to get him cleaned up. She knew that it was her king because of his scar. The scar he got when he was attacked by a bore. Odysseus was such an interesting man because when he was younger he found out that he liked archery and he then became excellent at it. He would go hunting with his dog named Argos. He was very strong willing and focused, but at the same time he had numerous setbacks.
