Lystra was a Mech, one of the mutants Haven had thought destroyed long ago, along with the history of Mech who ruled the people with fear, not unlike the Enlightened they had all survived. Twenty-one pods had been found. Each one held twenty dead men, women, and children, suffocated from the life support system that was unconnected, and the computers shut off turning the life pods into death chambers. Finding out the Lystra was a Mech, even one that had saved them, didn’t make Lystra any popular than she had been in

In The Woman Warrior, Maxine Hong Kingston uses talk-stories to illustrate the necessity of finding one’s voice or identity when trapped between the expectations of two clashing cultures. In “No Name Woman,” Kingston has difficulty with sorting fact from fiction in her mother’s talk-stories, and “[separating] what is peculiar to childhood, to poverty, insanities, one family, [her] mother who marked [her] growing with stories, from(...) Chinese tradition and [the] movies” (5-6). Kingston grows up in a world she only knows through her mother, who “marked [her] growing with stories,” creating a world for Kingston which she can only dream about. She struggles to ascertain the difference between Chinese culture and “the movies,” because the only

Not matter on gender we are all equal but as Suzanne Collins has analyzed that in most books that the men are always the bigger most important character because men are known to be strong, tough, intelligent etc. Suzanne has changed that, putting a female character being strong, tough, intelligent, stubborn and to have integrity in the most difficult war of her life The Hunger Games.

The Woman Warrior is a collection of memoirs written by Chinese-American author and professor, Maxine Hong Kingston. This book depicts the experiences of the Chinese people who emigrated to the United States after the Chinese Communist Revolution by combining her life story with Chinese fables called “talk-stories”. The author leads a difficult life as she tries to find a way to express herself to her unappreciative mother, who berates her for being a soft-spoken girl. Despite the fact Kingston bottles up the frustration caused by her mother, her emotions come to the surface multiple times. Throughout the book, it is evident that Kingston’s experiences, like the enduring of her mother’s criticisms and her struggle to communicate herself to

As the video starts Ciara looks at the audience, covered in tattoos, diamond rings, chains looping her neck and says, "It's 2007, ladies, I think it's time to switch roles." Ciara wears two male outfits. One of them she has on jeans, tank top, skull hat and Jordan’s. In the other one she has on a full suit with white Air Force Ones. She dresses like this to “switch roles”. It’s funny how something a woman might do can be seen negative while a man could get away with it. Ciara explains this by saying “Pull up your pants (just like them)/Take out the trash (just like them)/ Getting' your cash (like

Everything we do is connected and is a part of who we are. “We are nothing more than a sum of our memories and our experiences”, this is a line from Michael Scott’s The Sorceress but this also shows how we are our experiences. My future goals are a direct result from the life I have experienced and the memories I have. Some of the earliest memories I have are in the cancer wing of the local hospital. Luckily, I was never the one who was sick, my mom was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer that spread to her lymph nodes. She died when I was three, the only memories I have with her are memories of me playing in the hospital waiting room and of her being bedridden.

The Woman Warrior, the fictional non-fiction novel by Maxine Hong Kingston, despite its positive commercial and critical reception, has been the subject of controversies over the years, especially among Asian-American readers and critics. While it is easy to read the Orientalist elements in her book as betraying Kingston’s attempt to distance herself from her mother and the Chinese culture, or as an indication that she unconsciously normalizes Western cultural traditions and favors them over Eastern ones, it is, perhaps, a fairer and more beneficial interpretation to consider it as a meta-narrative that points out the problematic extent to which the Asian-American experience is misunderstood by being overly Orientalist. By employing a main

In Ciara's video like a boy young women are directly targeted and her personal view of women in the culture in which we live in is expressed. In the video Ciara challenges the view of a stereotypical male not only through her lyrics such as ‘wish we could switch up the roles’ calling for a sense of equality for women in today’s world, she also pushes the boundaries with her

Gal Gadot's Diana Prince will be playing a major role in this year's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but that doesn't mean that the DC superheroine will be taking things slow after her debut.

Not all feminist literature has been the same. The Woman Warrior, a fantastic tale of a traditional Chinese childhood lived by none other than the Chinese-American author, Maxine Hong Kingston. The Chinese culture has their own standards regarding gender stereotypes, and the ethics are simple: A man provides for, protects, and manages the family, while the woman stays out of the way. Kingston even provides ghastly details regarding the birth of a female child to a poor family: “The midwife or relative would take the back of a girl baby’s head in her hand and turn her face into the ashes…it was very easy.” (Kingston) Of course, in the story, Kingston is treated rather reasonably by her parents, as they took care of her when she was sick with

Nintendo has finally graced us with some demonstrations of their chapter in the ongoing Legend of Zelda saga.

As I researched and interviewed further,it became quite clear that this was about more than the content of the game. Williams told me that as a child it was more difficult to find empowering female characters in gaming, so she focused on problem solving. Games taught a young Williams to figure out things on her own, developing technical skills that carried on into her professional career.
