Miranda Moore Moore 1 Mrs. Luehrs English 8 April 20, 2011 The Process of Creating a Miracle Debbie risks her life, travels across the world, and gives everything she has to women she doesn’t know so they have the tools to become strong and independent.

I have no beliefs in Christian, so Hester only appears to me as a woman who pursues her liberty and protects her true love. But when her love story took place in a puritan-oriented society, she deserved to wear a burning “A” her entire life and live humbly. Unexpectedly, the society deprived her of everything except hope--- her little daughter, a wonderful child. Despite all of her sorrow, she manages to find redemptions compensating for her sin. And because of this, she later becomes a very respectable member of the community.

Frida Kahlo pushed the boundaries of what was expected from a traditional Latin American female artist. She led a life full of emotional and physical pain. From an early diagnosis of polio, to a life altering bus accident, to a marriage riddled with infidelities, Frida's often-difficult life was the inspiration for her art. Her exploration of herself and the world she lived in broke social norms, artistically, and politically, causing both outrage and awe from those who viewed her paintings.
Many turned to prostitution to make ends meet, or joined convents to work as servants for the nuns. The attitude towards women, their treatment and their rights, underwent many changes during the Renaissance. During feudal times women were given more liberties and enjoyed freedoms.

In response, the Spanish government sent General Valeriano Weyler, later to be nicknamed “The Butcher”, to Cuba with 50,000 troops to quell the rebellions. Thousands of Cubans were killed in concentration camps which General Weyler ordered to be built.
