Mentor: (putting her hands up in surrender) Alright, alright. Let’s get on with this. (riffling through her papers, finds some important paper and starts to read from it) Now, it says here that ladies of noble birth are supposed to defer to their parents or children. They are supposed to bear healthy children, boys in preference. (Looking at Lady Capulet haughtily and appraising Juliet)Looks like that was one quota you were not able to fill.
Why can’t they find a way to subtly lubricate the tampon? As soon as my vagina sees it, it goes into shock” (Pg. 70). This quote is a great example of how she thinks tampons should be fixed, and she gives examples of how companies could fix tampons to make them more comfortable.

Women were looked upon as inferior; and incapable of the skills men were, so a woman’s role was mainly housework and nothing with manual requirement. From the first short encounter we share with Curley’s wife we see just one, prominent side to her. From this first meeting, a lot can be foreshadowed. Steinbeck focuses our first introduction with her on her appearance; emphasizing her sexual appeal and desirability towards men. ‘She had full rouged lips and wide spaced eyes, heavily made up,’ which suggests that the author wanted us to presume the worst of her before she’d even spoken and we set ourselves up for her to be a character we feel a lot of resentment for.
For example, if my mom says for us to go clean are rooms and we don’t know how she would go show us and then we would know how to do it then. That example shows how great of a leader she is and how
Taming of the Shrew; Has Kate been tamed? In the beginning of the play Katherina’s behavior is exactly of what her reputation upholds; unfriendly, hot tempered and unpleasant to be around. In the opening scene Katherina portrays the typical characteristics of a “shrewish” woman has and the type of behavior someone would expect from her herself. In scene one Katherina talks back to Gremio and Hortensio when they are discussing who will potentially get to marry Bianca, only a shrewish woman will just speak or talk back without being asked to. “To comb your noodle with a three-legged stool, and paint your face, and use it like a fool.” (1.1.64) Katherina says this to Gremio and Hortensio after they insulted her; this is not acceptable for a young woman to say to a man.

Santha's word choice in this also reveals a lot about herself, and a lot about the mood of the story. What it reveals about the story is back during English supremacy of India, there was a very prevalent sense of prejudice. "We had our first test today and she put the Indian girls in the back one desk between each girl,' said Premila 'Why is that darling,' said her mother 'Because she said Indians cheat, I don’t think we should go back to that school,' said Premila"(Rau. 4).
The words reached my ear in as if he was speaking in bubble letters, changing his tone with each syllable. I could picture the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland blowing smoke through the phone creating words right in front of my face. The mood it created was horrifying. I moistened my lips and could taste the salty sweat beads that were starting to form on my face. This is an account of a young boy witnessing his mother’s reactions to an undesirable and life changing family tragedy.
Why do we even need feminism anymore? Aren’t we done? There once was a real need for the movement. Long ago, women truly had to fight for basic freedoms. But now we can vote, now we can own property, now we have the same job opportunities, go to school where we want, work where we want, wear what we want, travel where we want — and if we want to stay home and raise babies, assisted by female doctors and respected by our enlightened husbands, then feminism has won that right for us, too.
'Your mother hasn't given you powers to use them so frivolously, Persephone. You are meant to use them with a purpose, to do something with them.' Leuce explained, lifting Persephone from the puddle and straightening out her dress, more drops of muddy water falling on to her dress. 'Mother said, 'Listen carefully Persephone, I am giving you these gifts because you are a Goddess, and Goddesses like us have special skills.' the girl recited the words, in a perfect imitation of her mother.
