Vivian( A Lesson Before Dying) is a lot like Beneatha( A Raisin in the Sun) in the stories. I believe that they are both strong women. They remind me of very classy women for back in there day. I think that Jefferson( A Lesson Before Dying) and Walter Lee Younger Jr. ( A Raisin in the Sun) are a lot alike. I think this because they take things very seriously.
Her kind and gracious Aunt build’s Sybylla’s confidence and self esteem and is gentle and understanding, recognising her inner beauty, while reinforcing her physical beauty. Aunt Helen’s positive impact on Sybylla can be seen through the quote “No one would dream of calling you plain, let alone ugly; brilliant is the word which best describes you.” This quote assists the reader in furthering their understanding into the contradictive impression that others have on Sybylla.

She stayed modest and never let the fame go to her head. She remained a trusting sister, a respectable daughter, and a faithful and true wife. She appreciated her family and treated her staff like family as well. Selena was a very agreeable person and this influenced her to share her wealth and opportunities with the people she loved.

She continues her speech my talking about how she has placed her trust in the “loyal hearts” and “good-will” of her “subjects”. This phrase shows her superiority and status as Queen as she refers to the soldiers as her “subjects”; however it can also be seen as loving or kind as she praises them at the same time, this once again shows her more feminine or loving side. This can be proven quite effective in her speech as she does not deny the fact that she is a woman and nor does she try and make her speech more masculine, however she is trying to prove that she has the will and the courage of any king. She states this when she uses the antithesis “I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king”, by using this contrast and imagery in the phrase she is trying to say that she knows what they are thinking but they don’t know her passion. The fact that she is admitting that she is a “feeble” woman makes it much harder for the soldiers to criticize her and it makes her seem more impressive.

He is arguably the most influential leader in the last three centuries.

Kali also means she who is beyond time. Kali also means Mother Nature and Energy of Wisdom. She is a manifestation of the Divine Mother, which represents the female principle and that is why a lot of women respect Kali more than men usually do. Kali symbolizes many different things. Her blackness symbolizes her nature, her nudity symbolizes somewhat the same things as blackness but her nudity also sets her free and many people say she is the bright fire of truth not hidden by the trapping of ignorance.
