Recommended: Women oppression in literature

One strong emotional reaction is when Aibileen always mentions something about her past like with her ex-husband, Clyde and her deceased son, Treelore. It’s sad when you keep on remembering your loved ones dying and leaving you. Another strong emotion I had was when every time the maids were discriminated against. It’s not fair that just because of your color that you have to be made fun of. My last strong reaction in the book in my opinion is when the maids get fired. It’s injustice that just because the maids were telling the truth about their experiences with their mistresses, they get fired.

In fact, it is my belief that she gains hope from these interactions and this is in turn what fuels her interest in the civil rights movement.

In one incident, a house was set on fire and an entire black family was murdered. “That house didn’t just catch on fire.

In some cases the author will use emotion to get a reaction out of the reader. For example, at the end of chapter four, the author was talking about the families of the airmen getting the letter saying that their son was Missing in Action. The author stated, “ She prayed that he was still alive, but she knew that this telegram was often followed by another” (Freeman,58). This statement makes the reader feel sad and feel bad for the families. This would then influence the reader to not like the Germans or the people that did this to the airmen.

The fact that she can walk away from all those terrible experiences with love for her parents is incredible. Another thing I loved about this book is how it represents her parents, with all their faults, and their poor mentality, at its worst, without anger, or really any judgment, just with the love. If she had been bitter in her description it would not have been as amazing. This memoir was written with forgiveness making me respect her for not only surviving such a strange childhood to become a successful, but for being able to view her past with

In Song of Solomon written by Toni Morrison the characters all face racism everyday. My reaction to the characters is that they are strange especially their names. The one thing that freaked me out was the characters last name “Dead”. I think the reason it somewhat scared me is because dead has a negative feeling and in most occasion is used as a negative thing, but in this novel the characters are proud of their last names. My emotions for these pages are kind of sad and disgusted; my emotions are basically all over the place.

The movie clearly exposes the many ways that the human dignity of African- American maids was ignored. They had suffered daily embarrassment but were able to claim their own way dignity. The film described about empowerment of individuals as well as about social justice for a group. It is a moving story depicting dehumanization in a racist culture but also the ability to move beyond the unjust structures of society and to declare the value of every human being.
