Literary Themes in Women by Alice Walker
Storyboard Tekst
- EXAMPLE
- THE STRENGTH OF WOMEN AND THEIR SACRIFICES
- A MOTHER'S HOPE FOR HER CHILDREN
- The poem focuses on the women of the narrator’s mother’s generation who made sacrifices and broke down barriers, much like warriors, in order to make sure that their children had a chance to receive an education. The imagery Walker uses is very militant, including comparing women to “headragged generals” leading armies across “mined fields”.
- Education leads to more opportunities for children. In looking at Walker’s own biographical information, both of her parents didn’t make much money, which didn’t allow them many opportunities; however, their parents refused to make their children work in the fields and drop out of school to help work. To them, they hoped for a better life for their children, spurred on by their chance at a good education.
