Hump-Back - Bultrug1b.jpg

Here I started to draw properly The Hump-back was one of my own creations a very large animal with the characteristic hump on the back but clearly not a camel (see Bactrian camel picture I knew very well what a camel looked like) I have no idea how I dreamed them up at a time I was quite convinced there really existed such things I was five Oil pastel

ISniffPixiStix — Fri, 8 May 2009 22:16:00 MDT

Gasmask (self portraiture) - Gasmask.jpg

Gasmask illustrates fear and desperation Reminded of the Cold War I thought about how horrible it must have to constantly live under the worry of emanate death Where they could have a physical attachment showing their fear (the gasmasks) were forced to hide ours within ourselves Many say that fear is childish and I tried to show that innocence within myself The fingers are merged together to seem less human and truly show that we are our own gasmasks and were the only things that can show our fears Its dramatically edited to show how unnatural the gasmasks were in the Cold War and to illustrate that we shouldnt have to put bits of ourselves into mere objects

Ameila quotTre Daequot Haynsworth - 0001.jpg

Part of the Second Race and as humans and their lore describe them as Devils Amelia is a Mage user from her depths and early on heads out to find the Inugami Crystal's just as the familiar Angel Senritsu has for a short time Amelia hates the Angel and wonders why she has the traits of a demon but after learning about her past she slowly puts away her hate and steadily becomes one of her friends Despite how she looks she can be a very tricky opponent Her fighting style is that of a kids in meaning most of her weapons are childish things like Yo-Yo Rubber Hammers ect

Nanao Ise

FoToNo — Wed, 2 Jan 2013 06:49:00 MST

Nanao Ise - NanaoIse.jpg

Filling in for her mentor Lisa as Shunsui's lieutenant Nanao tries to carry herself with a professional demeanor but underneath she is raging at how idle he tends to be and is the most frequent victim to his womanizing flirting Also despite her professional mannerisms she is the vice-chairwoman for the Women's Society rather than its president often being whim to the childish wants of its president Yachiru Kusajishi It also doesn't matter how imposing someone might be since a glare from Nanao without her glasses will cow anyone subjected to the sight

Momiji Sohma

Momiji Sohma - MomijiSohma.jpg

Momiji becomes a little bunny when coming into contact with the opposite gender Unfortunately Momiji transformed after birth when his mother held him She was so traumatized by this that she utterly rejected her infant son and had her memory of him wiped out While Momiji can speak casually about this it could not be clearer that he is fighting back tears To make up for it his father makes every effort to be a loving parent to him Momiji is very fond of Tohru and often annoys his older cousins Kyo and Yuki with how childish he can behave sometimes Momiji knows a lot about how Sohma Family parents of cursed children react saying some are either too protective while others reject their children like his mother did He is very fond of his big cousin Hatori

Yuki is probuly the closest friend in the Zodiac that she has Scine they were both with Akito all the time They developed a strong bond And Yuki even calls her 'Onee-Chan' Akira is actually protective of Yuki Due to her knowing about her insercuries and how he veiws himself Yuki is also the one whome she is most 'Childish' with (As in Snuggling Clinging Random Hugging Etc XD) Even so She doesnt hesitate with teasing him Like calling him 'Yun-Yun' when she hears that the Student concil members call him that She actually transfered to Kibara (Sp Only due to the fact that she knew Yuki would be there

Spirit

FoToNo — Wed, 2 Jan 2013 21:45:00 MST

Spirit - Zabimaru_HebiMonki.png

When Muramasa convinced the Zanpaktou spirits to abandon their masters Zabimaru left Renji due to being fed up with how weak he could be when it came to protecting those he cared for pertaining largely to his past relationship with Rukia Unlike previously the spirit split into two separate entities a buxom woman covered in green fur and a small boy dressed in white with a long snake tail They are literally attached to the hip via chain which can prove awkward when attacking The female half called Saru enjoys teasing Renji when they first meet saying she's displeased how he doesn't recognize her after so many years of holding hands She is also very sensitive about people talking about her butt This normally pertains to the male half named Hebi who can be childish and bratty Even when they resume loyalty to Renji they are very obnoxious towards him

Fables of the Green Forest

FoToNo — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 09:50:00 MDT

Fables of the Green Forest - FablesoftheGreenForest.jpg

Another anime from my childhood that I didn't learn was an anime until years later Based on the works of Thornton Burgess this series follows the adventures of a woodchuck named Johnny and his mate Polly Other characters include the braggart Peter Rabbit the obnoxious Sammy Jay who spreads gossip through the forest and is happiest when others are annoyed the childish squirrel Chatterer and Reddy Fox who has tried to catch an eat Johnny since he was a young woodchuck I didn't see the entire series but I remember renting a video of this show from an old Randall's video section and I loved it Two stories from that video I remember quite well are how Freddy tried to prove he wasn't scared of the dog Bowser and another of how the animals wanted to make Buster the Bear their king I think I also saw an episode that featured a nasty wolf It's a very charming series but unfortunately I don't think it's available in VHS or DVD and there's hardly any videos of this show on YouTube But I think you can still find the book series that inspired this wonderful anime

Kaiori - KaioriHuman.jpg

Deep in a land filled with thick mists and demons lurking around every corner there sits a village devoid of the thick mist one singular area where the air and the water is crystal clear and the air is crisp and fresh In this village lived a young girl who simply loved to play with the boys She was always trying to be like them in every way She would dress like them act like them even fight with them Her father was the Elder of the village and he was a very powerful man he would always warn the children especially Kaiori to never leave the village borders However in a childish fools dare Kaiori ventured forth from the village She was gone for seven days Kaiori's father wept each night knowing that his daughter was dead As the night rolled in on the seventh night and the crecent moon was high and bright in the sky the little girl stumbled into the village She was coated from head to toe in blood that was in fact not her blood at all The village council was amazed at how she managed to survive the demons outside but they welcomed her home as a hero even though her father did punish her when she recovered from her fear of what she had seen She has never told anyone what happened but she also came back different She no longer did foolish things and kept quiet most of the time Many years later without warning the mist in the lands thinned and soon was gone altogether The demons still lingered but in far fewer numbers and instead savage beasts and smaller creatures took their place These creatures could be killed though and so the lands could now be traversed Apparently there was indeed a whole vast world out there It was then that Kaiori's nightmare came back As she sat in her room her father entered to see the girls hair turn from raven blue to a white gold and watched as ruins appeared all over her body The aura around her turned into a darkness FlamesBloodThe death of her entire village followed Kaiori left her home and headed forth into the world never to return to those cursed grounds Kaiori has a demon possesing her body which is very hard for her to control at times but she has learned to surpress his aggressive behavior and has harnessed his power to use at her will but this only happened after many years of living with the demon inside of her They usually have a common goal and as such the demon no longer really fights with her Age: 67 but the demon inside keeps her young so she looks in her early 20's

Swiper

Swiper - swiper.gif

Swiper is a quick sneaky fox in a blue mask and gloves who tries to swipe things that Dora needs to complete her quests When Swiper has swiped something he then hides it and it's up to Dora Boots and the viewer to find where it is hiddennnSwiper appears in nearly every episode As his name implies Swiper steals or attempts to steal key items that help Dora on her adventures Clever as he is Swiper never manages to take Dora completely by surprise an ominous whisking sound is always audible just prior to his appearancesnnTo prevent Swiper from success Dora must repeat the phrase Swiper no swiping three times Usually she prevails and Swiper slinks away snapping his fingers and saying Oh mannn sometimes however Swiper gets to the item before Dora has a chance to repeat the phrase He then gloats You're too latennSwiper's motive for theft is patently childish he never seems actually to want the object he takes since he almost immediately throws it away to hide it from Dora (prompting her to ask the audience to help her find it) Until recently it was unclear if he swipes merely for the joy of swiping or from a desire to annoy and frustrate Dora Compounding the confusion is the fact that given the right reason eg that the item in question is a present for Dora's puppy he'll return items he has taken no matter how much effort he went through to get them It is also shown that he rarely knows the full importance of what he's taken eg he had no idea the aforementioned gift was for Dora's puppy In the episode Dora Saves the Mermaids he revealed that he liked swiping He has some kind of New York accent and lives in a burrow on top of Blueberry Hill (no relation to the song)nnSwiper is very fast and agile and something of a master of disguise He seems to have a great deal of technical knowledge as he's built a variety of vehicles and gadgets (including a remote-controlled robot butterfly) to help him swipe things Most of the time however he simply relies on his natural stalking abilities sometimes with the aid of a costume to sneak up on Dora In the early episodes he often hid by curling up into a ball which neither Dora nor Boots ever recognized as Swiper he apparently doesn't do this anymorennHe has only been seen once without his mask when the robot butterfly he built to swipe from Dora and Boots (in the episode Dora's Got a Puppy) apparently malfunctioned after they stopped it it swiped his mask and gloves and kept them from him for a few humorous secondsnnOver the course of the series it's shown that there's more to Swiper's character than an urge to swipe things In one episode it was revealed that Swiper has a soft spot for puppies and in another that he likes Cowboy cookies In a few episodes he expresses feelings of joy with a fox-like cry of Yip-yip-yippee In the episode A Letter For Swiper Dora filled in for a delivery bird whose glasses were broken Dora delivered stickers to Swiper (which were sent by his grandmother) and he thanked her for it without trying to swipe anything In the episode Swiper the Explorer Swiper helps Dora on her quest to help Baby Fox find its mommy and Swiper carries the baby fox almost all through the episode Also in this episode it's revealed that Swiper doesn't speak Spanish and wishes that he didnnThe interaction between Dora and the antagonistic fox also reveals the kindness and grace of Dora's character In one unusual episode Dora's Dance to the Rescue Swiper took pity on a Dancing Elf who was caught in a magic bottle similar to a genie The elf tricked the sympathetic Swiper into removing the bottle's cork thereby releasing the elf and his talking cane Unfortunately the wily fox was thereby entrapped in his place Stuck and desperate Swiper called out to Dora and Boots The remainder of the episode chronicled an epic adventure involving most of the land's creatures eventually ending with the release of Swiper after a dance contest The episode was atypical as it involved many dances and songs demonstrated a close unconflicted relationship between Swiper and the other creatures and had Dora refer to the elf in an uncharacteristically judgmental way (mean Elf)nnSwiper is far from being unable to feel guilty for his actions In A Present For Santa Swiper returns the present that he swiped upon discovering that it was for Santa In Dora's World Adventure Swiper helps Dora return the friendship bracelets he had swiped all over the world and was shown to feel guilty once he discovered the magnitude of what he'd done and what he had stolen During this time Swiper gets a taste of his own medicine so to speak as each country they visit has its own Swiper only of different species who tries to steal the bracelets: Fifi the skunk in France Sami the hyena in Tanzania Fomkah the bear in Russia and Ying Yang the weasel in China All of them act and dress nearly identically to Swiper and are stopped in the same way he is: by saying their name followed by no swiping three times Then they run off saying Swiper's catch phrase Ohh maann (their only line) in the local language Their entrances are also preluded by a sound only with local music eg Ying Yang has a chau gong playing

SCARYSTORYHELLHOUSE.jpg

HELL HOUSE This tale of terror begins with three teenagers who love being scared They travel all over the country to find the ultimate fright challenge They come upon a huge warehouse made into a fun house of horrors They were told that some visitors that went in become victims or are scared to death The dare was those that completed the maze of terror would get their hefty admission fee plus double of that But no one ever has Stepping into the dark they are amerced into a satanic realm of ghosts ghouls and goblins A macabre wonderland populated by faces of death They are on the lookout for the chain saw maniac and the fatal woman on the stairs According to the house challenge if you survive these terrors you won the game While the horrors are impressive they don't stop one of the guys from moving ahead of the others Determined to be the first one to beat the challenge But just as the brave man shrugs off one of the animatronic attackers A little surprise sends him tearing out of the haunt in panic Now there were two Suddenly a bit less confident the others proceed They Marvel at how ambitious this interactive horror show is And can understand why the admission price is so high Still they know its all just make believe none of it was that terrifying or was it Suddenly one of the two on goers were overtaken by the darkness And now there is only one Now on his own the most hard core fright fan ventures alone His nerves on edge he tries to anticipate each gimmick As he wonders deeper into the depths of darkness and terror But his courage holds firm Eventually he gets a bit cocky Certain he's going to make it all the way through Then as he turns the last corner He's suddenly by the infamous fatal woman on the stairs For a second he's thrown off by the shock He recovers then realizes he only has one final terror to face But as the final door opens the house has the last word The horror junky races off in terror Weaving back through all the nightmares he's bravely endured Try as they might he and everybody else that has gone through has failed the hell house challenge It is said that the haunted house has a satanic curse put onto it Suddenly all the doors inside lock trapping its victims Some of the visitors that enter it and also some of the monster actors become possessed by demonic demons That take over the character's personality and using them to kill the trapped visitors Their mutilated bodies to be used for props and displays for the next year haunted house opening Hence the legend of the chain saw massacre where the legend was born And some other serial killers that have escaped the haunted house only to become the infamous human predators of today and tomorrow IF YOU LIKED THIS STORY THEN RENT OR WATCH THE HORROR MOVIE CALLED SLASHERS 2ND STORY THE FUNHOUSE Brian was crazy about the carnival It came to his town at the middle of every summer and he never missed a year he hadn't gone to it He knew every one of its rides and attractions by heart: the Ferris wheel the gypsy fortuneteller the shooting gallery throw a dart and get a poster game even the freak show But Brian's favorite attraction was the funhouse He could always spot it from the midway: a black building that looked like a clutter of giant shoe boxes of different sizes lying end to end The weather beaten black exterior was decorated with garish drawings of victims being cased by all shorts of creatures into the mouth of hell There was a drawing of a graveyard populated by rotting corpses and other demons of darkness feasting on the rotting remains of the freshly dead The monsters were painted in slashes of bright red green and black that seemed to glow brighter than any of the midway lights The people being chased away looked like they were screaming at the top of their lungs Brian liked nothing more than to be one of those people He knew the layout of the funhouse by heart and had for some time But this year something knew had been added The end of the funhouse walk was lit by a solitary overhead strobe light bulb Brian had spied a flutter of movement near the bulb He had nearly reached the hall's end when he heard a loud creak and something bulky dropped down from the ceiling The light flared bright with shocking intensity and Brian found himself standing face to face with a corpse dangling from the end of a noose Hands slack at the sides suddenly reached up to grab him AWESOME Brian thought that he might be able to convince some friends to come and see the thing before he remembered that tonight was the last night of the carnival Then he thought about how cool it would be to actually steal the corpse He could just imagine the looks on his friends faces when they walked into his bedroom and saw a corpse hanging from the inside of his door WICKED Brian was scheming so hard that he didn't look where he was going on his way out and nearly tumbled over the man who ran the funhouse The guy was a freak too With misshapen muscular limbs and had a hump in his back that threw his whole posture out of alignment The guy fixed him with an evil look He was gargoyle-faced But Brain never saw this man before He was as new as the corpse in the funhouse-and about as ugly From the look the guy gave him it seemed as though he knew that Brian was thinking he belonged inside with the rest of the horrors Brian felt a tingle of fear until the creep turned back to taking tickets from the next group of funhouse victims Brian walked the fairgrounds for a few hours killing time while he waited for the carnival to close All the while his thoughts were on the funhouse and how he might steal the dummy At midnight a voice came over the public speaker system telling the crowd that the carnival was closing down and to please start heading home Now was Brian's chance When he'd left the funhouse he'd seen the back door: just a loosely hanging piece of black canvas It would be a cinch to sneak inside during the confusion of everyone leaving the fairgrounds He could have the dummy in his hands in a few minutes and take it out through the front gates with him Lots of other people were carrying huge stuffed animals and no one would suspect that the dummy wasn't something he'd won at one of the games The freaky creep that ran the funhouse probably wouldn't know that his dummy was missing until the next town they set up in-and then it would be too late for them to come back looking for it By the time Brian reached the funhouse the lights shining on the painted front were all off and the gangplank leading up to it had chains across it Brian made sure no one was looking then ducked under the wires put up to keep people from straying off the path in front With the lights off it was darker in back than he had thought it would be The back door to the funhouse beckoned and Brian was surprised to discover that it was completely open All he had to do was slip behind the flap and he was in It was like they were begging someone to come in and rip them off It took a moment for his eyes to adjust to the dim light inside He felt his way through along the walls but the weird angles made him uncertain of where he was He was feeling his way along the wall when something smacked him across the face It was hairy and smelled disgusting as it pressed against his mouth He spluttered and gagged against it With a laugh he realized it was a fake arm that had shot out of the wall He remembered how he had dodged it during his earlier walk through Brian felt a floorboard wobble beneath his shoe and when he lifted his foot from it the arm pulled back It was on some kind of spring that the funhouse visitor activated by stepping on the floor That was probably the way all the funhouse frights worked The dim red light was shining down on the hung corpse as Brian groped his way to it They hadn't even bothered to hoist it back up after the last show Probably just left it there so that it would be easier for the freak to take apart when they packed up the carnival the next day He twisted the dummy around and saw it was locked into a harness with struts that extended into the arms So that was how they made the arms seem like they were clutching at you as it bounced at the end of the rope All Brain had to do was lift the dummy up to free the harness from the hook that attached it to the rope Creaaaaaaaakkkkk A floorboard sounded behind Brain He instantly turned to stone Creaaaaaaaakkkkk There it was again He thought about running back the way he had come But he'd already put so much effort into getting this far it would be a shame not to follow through Creaaaaaaaakkkkk It was only his nerves he thought He was only scaring himself There were probably lots of loose floorboards in the rickety building that were making the noise The funhouse had scary things in it-but nothing real Brian turned around and embraced the hanging corpse his hands clasping just behind the harness The thing's bobbing head nodded down and its face rested against his cheek He felt the icy coldness of a mask It was solid black plastic with a shiny surface that caught the light and reflected it's face in strange ways so that it would look like it was grinning or snarling back at you Up close he also realized the dummy had a rotting musty smell to it The hook didn't give easily and Brian lost patience He gave it a sharp tug The dummy slipped out of his clumsy hands and as he went to grab it he awkwardly pulled on one of the arms Then he heard a ripping sound and felt it wrench free of its socket He got upset after he found that he broke the dummy The detached arm slithered out of the sleeve the hand still snug in Brian's grasp It had a knob like bump protruding from its end and Brian held it up to the strobe light Then he dropped it as though it were red hot IT WAS A BONE A REAL HUMAN BONE The dummy spun around and Brian hesitantly reached up and flipped off the plastic mask The face behind it was mummified the skin gray with the texture of leather was stretched over its face in an expression of pure terror and agony A filthy gag was tied around its mouth Its skin was dried out and the eyes were sunken in Brian removed the corpse's gag and could make out its decayed but human skeletal teeth in the gaping mouth THIS WAS NO DUMMY Brian stepped back gagging Then a pair of hands reached out from the wall behind him and grabbed him He stepped off the board trying to make them retract and let go of him but no matter how his feet danced over the floorboards surface the arms held tight Then one of them grabbed him by the hair and roughly spun him around Staring back at Brian was the leering face of the freaky creep that ran the funhouse The man smiled at him wickedly and laughed Then he brought down something hard and painful on Brian's skull When Brain finally came to he found that he could not move his limbs They were bound to something hard and unyielding His chest felt constricted as though there were cords wrapped around it attaching to something behind him And a nasty tasting piece of cloth stretched around his mouth making it difficult for him to make any noise Brian felt himself twirled around and came face-to-face with the funhouse creep The man stared back at him and stroked his face with the dirty fingernails of his hand Such a good-looking boy much better looking then that overused bag of bones that you desecrated but too childish for your own good Said the freak Brian tried to scream but could muster no more than a gurgle against the wadded cloth in his mouth He flailed his legs only to find that he was no longer standing on the creaking floorboards of the funhouse He was several feet above them The freaky creep tugged Brian's head roughly forcing him to look down at the shriveled remains of the real funhouse corpse lying on the floor What a shame Brian was such a mischievous boy And how sad that he'd gone poking into things he shouldn't have just like the last mischievous boy that the freaky creep took care of Now Brian would have to replace what he had broken The freak snapped something over Brian's face Something dark and tight Something cold and plastic that would hide his tears When Brian awoke again to the sounds of creaking floorboards pure terror overtook him as he realized that the sounds came from a group of funhouse visitors He dreaded their footsteps as they came closer and closer He tried to struggle he tried to scream Suddenly Brian heard a quick clicking sound that released a spring Then Brain felt the support he was standing on give way and he plummeted into complete darkness Brian's disappearance was a complete mystery to his family and friends Eventually they gave up the search for him and assumed he ran away with the carnival

Compare the authors presentations of women and power in The Color Purple and Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit Which in your opinion is more effectivennnnnEnglish LiteraturennJamie ScottnnCandidate: 5121nCentre Number: 37323 nCompare the authors presentations of women and power in The Color Purple and Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit Which in your opinion is more effectivennnnIn the novels The Color Purple and Oranges are Not the Only Fruit women are portrayed in both similar and different ways The first major similarities shared by the books are the lead characters- both Celie and Jeanette are young girls living with their adoptive guardians and both girls are involved in lesbian relationships at some point in the story These similarities in the heroines of the stories provide the basis for my investigation as they are a catalyst for all the major examples of women and power throughout both novelsnIn The Color Purple women are treated as slaves and sexual objects This view is reflected well in Celies relationship with Mr- he marries her so she has to look after his children and frequently rapes her nnnnnnnnThe almost complete opposite of this is Sofia and Harpos relationship where Sofia is dominant and commands Harpos every movementnnIn Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit there are no particularly extreme signs of sexual or sexist domination by either gender There are however instances where one character of the novel (or a group of characters) are shown to discriminate against other characters nnIn both The Color Purple and Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit the most important characters are female Many of the major decisions which make up the stories are made by women In both novels the lead characters are greatly affected by the teachings and views of other women in the books In The Color Purple the women who influence Celie and her decisions are Shug Avery Nettie and Sofia nBeing portrayed at the start of the novel as her protector Nettie is the first person to show Celie ways in which she can become independent Although these first lessons seem to be just childish fun at the start of the novel they provide a basis for Walker to expand upon with other characters When Nettie fights off Mrs sexual advances she shows that women are not just objects for men to use at their own will nAfter Nettie is thrown out of Mrs house (letter 11) we dont hear much about her until later in the novel (letter 51) Now she is not Celies protector but is instead showing her power and independence by trying to save the Olinka village in Africa nSoon after Nettie makes a disappearance from the novel Walker introduces us to an even more influential character- Shug Avery When Shug first arrives at Mrs home she is sick with nasty woman disease this possibly being Walkers euphemism for a sexually transmitted infection If this was the case Shugs first appearance in the story would be also the first time she is shown to have traditionally masculine qualities- by being promiscuous Much unlike the majority of the women in The Color Purple Shug is not oppressed by men she doesnt allow herself to be dominated by anyone Her strong personality is a major part of her overall effect in the book her looks and career being mainly symbols of her power over the opposite sexnThroughout the novel Shug has different roles many of which are because of the parts she plays towards Celie At various points in the book Shug plays the part of Celies mother sister friend lover and teachernnnnnnnnThe lessons Shug teaches Celie are factors in the climax of the novel Without the influence of Shug Celie would still be the downtrodden passive character she is in the first few letters By learning to her own sexuality and voice Celie manages to recover her identity and eventually even believe in a different religious viewnLike Shug Sofia is a character who refuses to be dominated by anyone whether they are white men or anyone elsenAfter confronting Celie over her advice to Harpo (on beating Sofia in order to gain power within the household) Celie admits that she only told him to do such things because she was jealous of Sofias presence and the way she stands up for herself This is important in Celies life as it is the first time she realises that anyone can gain respect or power by being persistent enough to endure the hardships that life brings but also to take a stand and show that they have their own voice and identitynCelie herself is at the end of the novel a heroic figure to both the reader and to the other characters After suffering for so long at the hands of Pa and later Mr Celie finally stands up for herself and secures herself a future by making her voice be heard This act is the climax of the novel and after such a build-up the reader feels a sense of victory both for Celie and for themselves Being a feminist Walkers novel is obviously in the favour of the female gender but the victory over oppression is universal and can be applied to any person who has suffered from either gender nWalker manages to show that women can triumph over men if they band together creating her own feminist movement within the novel although she does so in a way which emphasises the importance of relationships and sisterhood rather than the stereotypical anti-men views of some womennnnnnnnnnnIn Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit the characters who make the majority of the decisions which affect either the story or Jeanette are her mother and Elsie Norris nJeanettes mother is described at the start of the novel as old testament through and through by the narrator In the old testament God was easily angered and mean-spirited This summary of Jeanettes mothers character is one which fits perfectly as her love of Jeanette fluctuates in correlation with Jeanettes fulfilment of her mothers wishesnBy being one of the most religious characters Jeanettes mother is also one of the most hypocritical Her actions towards her daughter are harsh and unloving unlike the kind and generous actions expected from a true believer in Jesus teachings nnnnnnnHer ability to control Jeanettes actions as a child becomes less and less throughout the novel until the end where Jeanette effectively disowns her The decrease in the power she has over Jeanette is huge but when Jeanette returns home for Christmas her mother acts like nothing has changed By this point in the novel she is no longer the dominating woman we saw at the start she is a more softened and accepting woman who simply reaches for her CB radio whenever she feels distressed Her comfort comes in the form of the World Service her intended use for JeanettenLike Jeanettes mother Elsie is also a devout member of the church and testifies daily Unlike Jeanettes mother however Elsie is outgoing and has a history of travel behind her She represents the imaginative individual who Jeanette will eventually turn intonWhen Jeanettes own mother is being neglectful Elsie is the woman she turns to for comfort and guidance Jeanette learns many things that help her to become the character she is from Elsie that the only way to become the person she wants to be is by opening her mind to new ideasnElsie suggests that when Jeanette quits the church she may be better off finding her own way in the world rather than pursuing a religion that she doesnt agree withnUnlike Jeanettes mother Elsies power over Jeanette is not dominating or oppressing because Jeanettes lesbianism and rejection of the church are accepted by Elsie when everyone else shuns her The true power that Elsie has is the power to help people and that is what she does for Jeanette throughout nWhen Elsie dies late in the novel Jeanette is deeply saddened at the loss Elsie is her only true friend and even manages to replace her mothernJeanette towards the end of the novel is like Celie in the way that she riumphs over hardships but these are nowhere near as severe as in The Color Purple Where Celie is oppressed by men Jeanette is shunned by the church and her mother As a way of coping with her troubles Jeanette writes stories in the same way that Celie uses her letter writing as a coping mechanismnnBeing an active feminist Winterson has written many pieces about the roles of women in society and their apparent lack of power Winterson highlights this in a piece from The Guardian about Doris Lessing a feminist icon and novelist The main feel of the piece is not about Ms Lessing however it is more about the way women are still struggling for power with their male counterparts- relating more to The Color Purple than Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit :nnnnnnnnnnnnnTo conclude I feel that in terms of the portrayal of women and power Alice Walker is the most effective writer of the two Her story not only describes male dominance and the ways in which women can overcome such hardships but also how women can still be civil and forgiving after years of oppression This I feel is a feature that can be felt by every reader as a show of true power and strength whatever their race sexuality gender or even religious preference nIn Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit the general tone is much lighter than in The Color Purple and to keep the story light-hearted there are much fewer troubles to be overcome resulting in a climax which seems much less significant (in terms of women and power) than Walkers novel nOn balance Celies struggle through rape and oppression is more effectively shown than Jeanettes sexuality being frowned upon by her mother and the church Whilst homophobia is a problem that more and more people are affected by every day I feel that sexual dominance and the way women are treated is a problem that has been going on for hundreds (if not thousands) of years and will continue to touch readers for many more nBibliographynn The Guardian Newspapers August 15 2001nn Jeanette Wintersoncomnn Modern Critical Interpretations-Alice
