The title The Woman Warrior gives us the idea that women are strong enough to be warriors. Reading the excerpt No Name Woman from the story The Woman Warrior tells us a lot about how Chinese women are looked at by society. Women are often looked at as objects by men and by social media making everyone think it is okay for women to be looked at as objects instead of human beings. They are often also looked at sex toys, for men to play around with and in the end just give them away to another man. The way society looks at women is unfair because no one looks at men in the same context. People tend to think that women are less and are weak. Women aren’t weak they are as strong as any other person in the world.

In the excerpt No Name Woman Maxine focuses on how her mother explained to her about starting her menstrual cycle with the example of her never born aunt. She talks about how her aunt killed herself and why she had done it and sets it as an example of what not to do now that she has started her period. Feminism is the advocacy of the women’s rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men. In this story, it shows us how women aren’t equal to men according to society and economically. The fact that the girl’s grandmother doesn’t have a name shows us how women aren’t valued as men are. It tells us how women seem to be powerless because they can’t even be recognized by their own family members. They have to sell themselves for food or other resources because they are poor and also because they are girls. Being in a world where women are constantly looked at as objects and not as humans they are usually persuaded to trade sex for things they need. Because of poverty and desperation they are willing to give anything for resources they need. Knowing this men take advantage of the situation asking for sex in return.

Society makes women seem less than a man and also makes them look individually weak and powerless. Many think women aren’t capable of anything but truth be told any women can take the job of a man and work twice as better as he could. It doesn’t matter the gender, size, ethnicity, or age to get things done. In this world we live in women aren’t usually given the respect that they deserve because without women nobody you wouldn’t be here reading my story.

In the movies of Twilight the unconscious mind of the characters are constantly taking over. We have vampires, humans, and wolves in the story who are at constant battle with one another and do things without thinking about it because it is in their nature. The vampires are in battle with their own kind because of ancient ancestors who will always be around. When the vampire is introduced to the human, in the beginning of the movie in class, they are later reunited when a car almost hits the human but is stopped by the vampire. The wolves in the story is also always driven by their unconscious mind to help and save their family.

In this movie a child is born that is abnormal. She is able to share her moments she had with you by putting her hand on your cheek. She was born half vampire and half human being made from the human and vampire that started in the beginning of the movie series. This reminds me of Freud’s opinion of the unconscious mind because he says it is able to store all memories that are traumatic. It is also a part of mind/soul that cannot be accessed directly because no one is able to control it. I see this appear many times throughout the series but most in the movies Breaking Dawn Pt. 1 and 2. I notice the vampires unconscious mind is constantly in control because they don’t really think about what they do. One of the characters is able to remember and look into the future and see if anything bad is coming their way.

Freud’s most radical insight is that human beings are motivated by unconscious desires, fears, needs, and conflicts. I see this in the movie when the vampires are fighting for the child’s life because they believe she will bring danger to the world and immortal world. They are motivated by the unconscious mind to fight for the child because she is part of their family. She was also proven to help and heal people instead of bring danger.
