This narrative inclusion, so different from the male, Jewish perspective in Potok’s earlier novels, is congruent with the protagonist’s feminist perspective: it is collaborative and communal learning. The writing of fiction holds no real values in the strictly orthodox community of which Davita becomes a part. This fact is coupled with the fact that women themselves also seem to lack significant roles in religious reading and ritual outside of the home, where their Sabbath role is enormously important, as they light the candles, recite the prayers, and becomes the “Sabbath Queens.” Through the creation of a female protagonist, Potok discloses the weaknesses of exclusion, and in Davita’s Harp, he makes a convincing case for rethinking and restructuring the place of women within the orthodox Jewish tradition.

Also, the details that he shared about his lunch lady resembles his logic to persuade people on the topic. Krosoczka stated, “... she started telling me about her grandkids, and that blew my mind.

They’d rather their children be healthy.

In Flannery O’Connor’s short story “Good Country People” the protangonist, Joy, had mutual characteristics with each of the characters. Her and Mrs. Hopewell were both naïve to Manely Pointer’s true personality. Joy and Mrs. Freeman were both very serious people.

The Women Can women who lead very different lives be similar? Susan Glaspell explores the differences and similarities of two characters in her story “Trifles.” Written in 1916, Glaspell’s fictional story uses an unforeseen event to bring Mrs. Hale, a farmer’s wife, and Mrs. Peters, a sheriff’s wife, together. Although Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters have their differences such as Mrs. Hale being outspoken, observant, and a leader, while Mrs. Peters is nervous and does not want to challenge authority, the women share some similarities such as being aware of male condescension and willing to keep information from male authorities if it means helping another woman.

The purpose of my paper is to scrutinize closely the concept of social satire, revealing and thereby amending the society’s blight in relation to the novel, The Edible Woman by the Canadian author Margaret Atwood. The novel is unambiguously interested in the complex body truths in the Consumerist Society. In The Edible Woman, Atwood furnish a critique of North American consumer society in the 1960s from a feminist point of view. As a feminist social satire, it takes specific bend at the way society has customised the methods of marginalizing and preventing women from having power, authority and influence.

Pecola is challenged by the idea that her mother prefers her work life, that they have an outdated house, and that she does not look like the Shirley Temple doll with blue eyes. Morrison went into great detail when describing the elegance and beauty that was present in the Fisher home, to demonstrate that those who do not fit into the ideal American life often feel shame. The Breedlove family lived a very simple life, and in no way did they fit into what society believed to be correct. Mrs. Breedlove was the only member of the family that truly understood what the American Dream looked like. The work that she did for the Fishers lead her to envy the American Dream.

SUMMARY American poet, Linda Pastan, in her poem “Marks” published in 1978 addresses the topic of women’s roles in the household and asserts that although mothers may be good at their household job, their desire to fulfill other careers is overpowering and necessary to thrive.

The author’s overall purpose is to inform readers that women were and still are being stereotyped, so that they might think about how they treat
