Throughout her appeal, Grimke repeatedly states that all women “are our sisters”, because she wants everyone to realize that all women are women no matter what color they are. Grimke criticizes white women in the North for looking away and not acting compassionately toward “their colored sisters” while horrible things happen to them. She states that “our colored sisters are dreadfully oppressed” in America and those women have to stand up for them. If women decide not to act, then they may as well be termed “the white slaves of the North”. She wants northern women to stop being ignorant, stop pretending like they have nothing to do with slavery and start working together to fight the injustice that is present in their lives.

A young fifteen year old dies in a car accident; her life ends when it was supposed to begin. Gabreielle Zevin’s Elsewhere is about Elizabeth Marie Hall who had this happen to her, and the book is split into three parts to understand her story better and clearer. The prologue which focuses on Liz’s dog, the epilogue which focuses on her last moments and the three parts of the story which focus on her life after death, are crucial to the understanding of Elisabeth’s life story.

I can also stand out when I want to. There aren't a lot of negative stereotypes of my ethnicity; therefore nothing really stands in the way of a person seeing me for who I am. However, there are negative gender stereotypes about women, such as that we all get PMS, are not so good at math or science, etc., these things are nowhere near what persons of color have to endure (Davis 1).

As a white woman, I can exhibit some of the characteristics that have been made into stereotypes about persons of color and no one thinks anything in particular of it, good or bad.
