 HEGEMONY BETWEEN MAN AND WOMAN                                                   
!!!!Guadalupe Espinoza Period 5

         How would you feel if someone took advantage of you just,because you were a slave woman and the white master's taught that you were a slave with no rights? They taught that you were just a slave that was tell what to do and that's all. In the book Kindred by Octavia Butler, Dana was a woman that was in slavery, and she had to pass through a lot of oppressions that couldn't let her be a successful woman. She had to be in slavery in order to help a boy that was transforming like his dad,by trying to take advantage of woman that were in slavery, because they taught that they didn't have a life. She tried to help the boy Rufus,because he didn't want him to be like his dad.She wanted him to be nice with slaves and be respectful with them .In my opinion I think that racial oppression and hegemony has been used to create slavery.

         How do you think slavery was transformed? People have different stories that tell how slavery was transformed. In my opinion, I think that it was transformed by hegemony and racism by white people and black people . A first reason why slavery was made by hegemony is because white people started to get African Americans to be their slaves by the way that they captured them without knowing. They went in the nights to houses and started to get children, man and woman. This means that no matter where they lived white people would go and get them just to get a lot of slaves and made them however they wanted. A second why I think it was formed by this is because the white people taught that they had the whole power , while black people didn't. This means that white people taught that they could tell the slaves what to do and they will go and do it,because they taught that they had the whole power. The masters taught that they had rights that made them powerful while slaves had no right that's what made them weak not showing they had the same rights as white people did.That's what made African Slaves unequal . A final reason why I think hegemony mad slavery is, because black people didn't know how to get more power that the white people. This means that African American slaves were scarred of white people, because they didn't know how to control the whites,because they taught that they could do more harmful stuff do them.  White people were the ones who transformed slavery not African slaves. Dana was a woman who was in slavery and she had to pass through a lot of hateness. She could do anything to self-defend herself.
         We have heard a lot of hegemony between slave woman that are African American and white masters. Why do you think men that were masters took advantage of black slave woman? One example I have from the book Kindred is when Dana told Rufus what will he do if they brought Alice back and Rufus says "Buy Her" this is in page 124. This means Rufus is trying to make Alice life difficult or impossible,because he just want to separate her from her children and make her family pass through a hard moments. A second example that show that white male took advantage of black woman is when Rufus says "We Will See About Her Rights" in page 123. This is showing hegemony because white people wouldn't give slaves the rights that they had. The slaves would have no right to do whatever they wanted because the white people wouldn't led them be free and do their own choices. A last example is when Rufus says,"I would have taken her better care of her than any field hand. I wouldn't have hurt her if she hadn't just kept saying NO" on page 123. This is showing that man rapped the woman that were slaves because white males taught that slaves had no rights of doing what they wanted to do. They taught that they were better than African Slave males because they had more money and more right that slaves. They taught that they could give them what they never had. Woman had to pass through alot of orders for masters.
         Have you ever wondered why men try to force woman to do things because they are slaves? Well I think that the man are scarred of the way of how woman will react. This means that if man ask woman a question and if woman don't like it they will say no! to what they are asking and man might feel stressed or angry and maybe that's why they don't ask. A second reason do things is because men believe that they have a lot of power to control any woman that they wanted.This means that man think they can tell any woman what to do and they will do it without saying no or making an excuse.A final reason of why men force woman to do things is because man feel strong , thinking that they could do what they want and trying to show every one hoe he does it. This means that man just try to show that they can do whatever they want to show their friends. Man should not force woman to do things that they do not want to.
         Men should not try to take advantage of woman. Woman are mostly oppressed by man because man think that they have the whole power. They think that woman don't have the rights  that they do because they think that they are StrongGer and that's one of their right. Woman have to do something in order to show man that they are also strong and show that they have the same rights as every man. Show that not only man is strong but also every single woman in this world. Woman have to show what they can do not just only man.

My EQUALity POEM

Men and women are equal even tough we are different looking

Sometimes men take advantage of women because they think they don't have power

Woman and men have to be respectful to each other in everything

Men feel strong controlling women because they try to show off!

Women feel angry,frustrated,sad and un powerful

Women have been attacked by many obstacles that are going out with their life

And also men we both have obstacles that do not let us keep on going

Men take advantage of women because they just think that they could be strong and they have the power

Men should only stay with women because they love them not to feel very strong 

 

SAVE OUR SCHOOl lEttER

     My name is Guadalupe and I am an 8th grader at Urban Promise Academy in Oakland CA. My school is supportive and small but a great school. Some programs we have are soccer, cheerleading, drama and dancing classes. The teachers are vary supportive and helpful with every student attending here. Our school  is already struggling with not having enough money. I am writing this letter to you because I want you to save schools. Urban Promise Academy needs funding supplies we need. We also need money so that we could be able to go to field trip and get scholar ships. The thing I will  most miss at UPA if we don not get funding is the field trips and the supplies that are most needed. My education is very important to me. My education will allow me to go to college and get a degree. I need the opportunity to go and get a job. My family wants me to get an education so that I could have a good job in the future. Please support my education by letting California vote on the tax extension measure.. The future of California depends on High Quality education for all.

COllEGE FOR ALL ESSAy

     Life isn’t easy without going to college. Since my auntie died, because she was extremely sick in Mexico , I have always dreamed of going to college and being a doctor I would never like people to suffer like my auntie did. I would like people to stay alive, and be with the persons they really loved. When I grow up, I would like to help people no matter whats their sickness. I would like to save their life and not let them died.
     Hi my is Guadalupe Elizabeth Espinoza Rodriguez who was born in Ventura, California. I came to Oakland when I was 3 years old . I have been leaving in Oakland for 10 years. When  I came to Oakland I lived in a place that was not secured at all. There was gangs and violence that did not let Oakland be a protected place where everyone was secured. When I walked with my parents in the street their was a lot of the tagging in the walls.Ventura was a very secured place there was no gangs and violence there. It was a place where everyone was protected by too many violence. We came to Oakland because my parents did not have work over there so they decided to come here.

One challenge that I had is when I came to Oakland I didn’t know how to speak English and most of the teachers I have had spoke English and some of them talked in Spanish but only a little bit. My parents didn’t know how to talk in English either and it was really hard for me to do the English homework. Another big challenge I had was when we had the benchmark when we had to read in English. It was hard for me to read the paragraphs and answer the questions because I did not know how to read at all, but one day when I got home I got a dictionary that was English and Spanish and I started reading the words and their meaning. Reading the dictionary helped me a lot because when I had another test I knew the words and their meaning, and I was able to find to find the answers to the questions. The last challenge I had was when we went to the ropes course I was scarred to climb up because I thought I was going to fall from the ropes. After I decided to climb because I knew that I had to leave my scariness away. Then I decided to climb and I did not climb the whole way but at least I tried.

My family is the most beautiful thing that has happen to me. My family can be described as respectful because they are not mean to other people they are always being nice and talking to them with a good language. They are responsible because they always do what they have to do. They are helpful because every time that someone is sick from Mexico my parents always helped them. They helped them by sending them money. They care about other people because they like to see people in good conditions. My parents care about me, my parents, and sisters education because their dreams are for us to go to college and to have a great life. What I liked about Oakland is that it offers you too many opportunities to be someone great in the future. I also like that there is too many teachers in Oakland that help you to go to college. There is schools that give you scholar ships to go to college and be the person that you want to be. I also like Oakland because some of the dreams that people have come true. Immigrants that are living in Oakland fight for their rights and they never give up because they know that one day their dreams will come true.

I think I should go to college for all because it is a great opportunity to go and visit colleges and decide to which I am going to. Also because it is a opportunity to talk to students and see how college is like and see what am going to do. I also should go to college for all because I want to see how campus is, and to see what kind of classes am going to have I should go because I want to see how teachers are like and what they teach students. I also think I should go to college because I want to see how big is the campus and how is it from the inside.

       Other people are responsible for continuing this type of oppression are people like the government. The government should give more jobs to people . This type of oppression about poverty can be seen /witnessed /noticed because you can see when people have money or not. They don’t have enough food and sometimes they run out of food and so they don’t eat. Poverty creates many barriers in peoples lives because it interfere you want to achieve in life. For example when you live in poverty is a barrier because people don’t go to school and so they don’t get the education they should have. This happens because sometimes many people are not able to afford for school supplies ,and uniform. And so instead they have to work to be able to live. People who have experience poverty can feel worried and sad because they don’t have enough money to buy the things they want or need.

Our community would be more safe without this type of harm, because everyone would be able to earn money. People would be able to live happy and have all basic needs without this oppression. Our community would feel more powerful, to have a lot of money. Fruit vale would be more safety, children would be running, playing around and it would be more cleaner and nicer to be out there. Fruit vale residents would believe that Oakland is a safe place for their children and that it’s a nice place where they could live at. Fruit vale would have a secure place for every race and culture. Our community would experience joy through happiness and being able to live their life full of happiness.
