During Cynthia Huntington's early adulthood she found comfort in writing poetry. Poetry helped Huntington cope and better understand some of her life's challenges; including sexism. Heavenly Bodies merits the award nomination because she courageously gave her unconventional perspective on sexism and sexual assault than those which are normally given in the media. Huntington portrayed her personal experienses with sexul asult in a way that readers can empathise with her pain. She was not very specific about what happened, yet she was very specific about her feelings and thoughts. She mentions “...nor can I find what is lost, even in a single day” (Huntington 11). Due to her other prior poems in the book the can tell that she is talking about
Carol Gilligan was born to William E. Friedman and Mabel Friedman on November 28th, 1936. Gilligan’s mother was a teacher and her father was a lawyer. She grew up in New York City during the Holocaust era (Medea, 2009). For her undergraduate education, Gilligan attended Swarthmore College, graduating in 1958 with summa cum laude honors and a major in English literature. From there, she went to Radcliffe College for a master’s degree in clinical psychology in 1961 and Harvard for a doctorate in social psychology in 1964 (Carol, 2017). After finishing all of her post-secondary education, Carol left the psychology field, married James Gilligan, and moved to Chicago where she started her family. Gilligan began teaching, lecturing, and tutoring at the University of Chicago (Ball, 2010). Eventually, she decided to return to Harvard to further pursue psychology.
During the time of adolescence in one’s life, emotions and feelings become more noticeable to them. It is a time when one begins to search themselves and find out who they are and what their personality is. Sometimes it isn’t easy to portray these emotions and feelings and one might not know how to handle them. In some cases one might portray these feelings and emotions in a bizarre form and it becomes a disorder or a mental problem. In The Crucible by Aurthur Miller, Abigail Williams, the antagonist, displays signs of abnormal adolescent behavior, schizophrenia and shows that she cannot easily handle her emotions.
In the 1600’s two different times colonists sailed from England to America. Both landed on the east coast of America. The first ship landed in what today is Virginia while the other one landed in Maine. One stuck together and worked to survive, but the other carried a prisoner and was a free for all. Both handled coming to the ¨new world¨ but we learn about both of the different dates today.
The poem starts with the statement, “a woman who loves a woman is forever young” (Sexton 1-3). These beginning lines set a common theme of eternal youthfulness and lesbian desire.

Knowing that one of the spells that Cynthia had used on them at some point had turned them to these creatures Daniel tore page after page out of the book. Once Daniel was done he threw the book to the ground not realizing that he had left half of the last page still in the spell book. Daniel crumbled and threw the pages from that infernal book into the fireplace that was in front of Cynthia's bed. Gabriel knocked on the door to see if his sisters were done dressing, and Gwen stuck her head out to tell her brothers that they could leave the room. Daniel, Gabriel, and Arthur leave the bedroom and the Jacobson family continue walking down the hallway until they come upon another door. Gabriel pushes the door open and they walk into what appears
Poetry is much different than any other style of writing. Poets have a way of communicating their message in a much more indirect way than regular writers. One reader may interpret a poem in a way that is drastically different than another. To truly understand a poem, one must understand the author as well. Sharon Olds, an American poet, who is known for her morbid and unhappy poems, writes about various themes including political violence, family relationships, and sexuality (Gale). In Olds’ poem, “The Death of Marilyn Monroe” we see her examining sexuality not only in 20th century, but in today’s age as well. Olds uses the death of a famous sex icon to really show how women were, and are still being sexualized in society.
For this observation assignment I chose to observe Doris. Doris is a seventy-six year old volunteer at the day care I work at. I have been observing Doris over a course of ten weeks and have spoken with her on many occasions. Doris lost her husband fourteen years ago after a short illness. The anniversary of his passing is coming up within a few days of Thanksgiving. When we began speaking of him, I observed the change in Doris’ demeanor. She is still grieving over this loss.
Moving past the interesting, but already much discussed relationship between Carolyn Steedman’s notion of childhood and Peggy Phelan’s conception of performance as always in the act of disappearing or merely ironically present through their imminent absence, I am decidedly interested in examining the lessons trans children and their families retain via movements of artistic creation and, in turn, make use of while processing the everyday feelings and experiences of gender in transition against a backdrop of contemporary childhood.
Many great literary and artistic geniuses have been troubled with deep melancholy and phrenic illness. Anne Sexton is an example of a poet with such quandaries who utilized her personal despair to inspire her poetic works. Sexton’s raw material on the inequality of women in a flawed society has sprouted an uproar for change.
Although Mrs. Wesley could not recall much about her early childhood or even small significant events in adolescence, she could recall dropping out of school in the 8th grade. She reported that her family was extremely poor and the older siblings felt a level of responsibility to assist with the bills, so the family could survive. Shortly after leaving school and working in a warehouse, she was pregnant at sixteen. It should be noted that there was no emotions or suggestive body language to assess when speaking about her adolescence or the birth of her first child. It would seem to this writer that Mrs. Wesley had some leave of trauma during those years in which she blocked from her memory and was unwilling to recall. She unable to divulge
