Literature analysis #3

Non-fiction Analysis

Topics/Events

1.     This book is meant to call attention to the need of women in powerful leadership positions in our country.

2.     Marie C. Wilson chose to write this book because of her passion and insight on the topic of women leadership roles. She is one of the founders and president of the White House Project, which is an organization dedicated to promoting women’s leadership, and she is also president of the Ms. Foundation for Women.

3.     I’ve been really looking into political science lately. I have been looking into possibly a career in government. I went to the public library to check out a book, but I couldn’t get a new library card without a parent present being a minor.  I stopped at the dollar bookstore at the beginning of the library and suddenly came across this book. The author’s use of factual examples really kept me want to keep reading. She is a very convincing author. She made me picture myself in the situations she would describe. I would always think about what I would do if I were in a certain position.

4.     I found the book very realistic. Marie Wilson really reminded me of my Cousin Donna. She’s a very positive role model in my life. She is involved in many political organizations and enjoys giving back to the community just as Mrs. Wilson does. My cousin volunteers for several women’s shelters and believes in female leadership and independence.

People

1.     Marie C. Wilson’s choices convey to me that she really feels strongly about this subject. She has created organizations benefiting women’s equality, she has met people and associates with people that have the same views and opinions on the subject, and she has researched political and cultural factors that are being effected and could be benefitted. Her tone is very powerful and passionate. She has a very deep insight, which shows through her examples and personal opinions about women leadership.

2.     The first person from the book I am going to describe in Marie C. Wilson. She is a very beautiful woman. She won homecoming queen in high school and won beauty contests in her hometown of Atlanta. She is very proper and professional. A successful businesswoman one might add. She was raised in the south, so she’s used to dealing with and witnessing diversity. I don’t really know how I would write Marie Wilson as a fictional character. Everything about her is so realistic that it is hard to picture her as a fictional character.

Another person in the book I am going to describe is Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. She also acts very proper and professional, being she was the first female on the U.S. Supreme Court. She might look very homely and patient. I would write Justice Sandra Day O’Connor as a male character pretending to be a female if I had to turn her into a fictional character. It would be a scam, just to cause hype and relieve tension, the male Justices would convince one man to pretend to be a female so any sexist debates would be extirpated.

3. Marie is a very interesting woman to me. She is very intelligent and well rounded. She has a good strong shoulder foundation that her head is rested upon.
