In the short story, “Cat in the Rain”, by Ernest Hemingway, he expresses his thoughts toward women and animals as the lower order of society through his point of view. The first part of the story tells that George has a control over his wife, and it also appears that they are in a same position at the end of the story. Hemingway writes in a very strong decisive way to point out his thoughts in his stories. He barely describes the American wife in "Cat in the Rain." The main physical depiction we get is of her short hair style that she gripes going to her reflect. She laments that she gets "tired" of "looking like a boy." Short hair on ladies is something we 're really used to seeing now, however in the 1920s, this was not the situation. The wife 's haircut would have read as being substantially more clearly "boyish" than it would today—particularly in a more conventional European setting like this Italian town. The fact that she is "tired" of such a relatively new and revolutionary trend is particularly notable. Like all the other "liberated" aspects of the young couple 's life-style—their intellectualism, their globetrotting, their non-materialism—Hemingway seems to be critiquing this progressive style as not entirely satisfying. He portrays a young woman who is longing to look like a woman and do traditionally feminine things. People can say Hemingway is being a …show more content…

In The Way to Rainy Mountain, the author Scott Momaday uses the theme of a journey to drive this story. He begins his journey after the passing of his grandmother, the journey to reconnect and rediscover his own culture. He shares this moment on page 10, “I remember her most often in prayer. She made long, rambling prayers out of suffering and hope, having seen many things…the last time I saw her she prayed standing by the side of her bed at night, naked to the waist, the light of a kerosene lamp moving upon her dark skin…I do not speak Kiowa, and I never understood her prayers, but there was something inherently sad in the sound, some merest hesitation upon the syllables of sorrow”. The passing brought a realization upon him to have to keep the culture going. He can barely speak Kiowa, while his grandmother was one of the few members who were completely fluent. I believe this book is a call out to his tribe to take the same journey Momaday took.
Gone With the Wind, written by Margaret Mitchell, inaccurately portrays time period during the American Civil War (1861-1865) and Reconstruction Era (1865-1877).

In addition, although she accurately maintains the historical background of the novel by providing details about the war and important figures, the portrayals of several key characters in comparison to those who lived in the actual time period are not realistic. Overall, especially because the novel is written in a biased point of view of
