Perception of Young Female Protagonist in Adolescent Literature

Young adults in Historical Fiction and Non -Fiction genre of modern literature, especially of the female gender were not perceived to be as strong as opposed to their male counterparts. Most of the history books are concerned with achievements linked to male genders. Military books, scientific achievements during the modern period shifted their focus and were only inclined to achievements by the male gender. However, literature like Fever 1793 is concerned with acknowledging positions of young women in the society. This book is centered on the struggles that women underwent during the period, and they had to put up the fight. However, there exists a considerable difference between current literatures for young adults and…. Most of the existing literatures have different perceptions of especially because who are predisposed to delinquent behaviors. Authors have embraced the cognitive theory of adolescents who have difficulties or rather have weak minds in the making and thus it might be challenging for them to make rational decisions in life. The primary aim of the literature is to focus on the experiences, growth, emotional and intellectual capabilities of young adults. Many works of literatures of the 21st century portray young adults as being delinquent as these are the things that they mostly experience as they grew up. This might have adverse impacts on the growth of adolescents, mainly because this stage is known for self-identity. YAL is s elf-knowledge and identity for the emotional maturity of individuals and young adults, exposed to sadness growing up in an at times, a sad world.

What might the topic sentence for this paragraph be that your discussion of Harriet the Spy would be an example of? I think the larger point you’re making in the paragraph has to do with the impact of parent involvement and relationships with children and how those play out in the literature of the time. “Harriet the Spy” is another text that incorporates different culture, genres and times. The narrator portrays female protagonists of young age who spies and writes observations about her friend. The way of life has changed, Harriet’s parents are now more preoccupied with job demands rather than being concerned with their children. It might seem as if Harriet might be depressed after losing her friends for spying on them. Nevertheless, Harriet is determined to continue making her observations. No strong bond exists between Harriet and her family members. She does not find any solace in them as they are deemed to neglect their daughter. Harriet finally becomes the editor of the class newspaper. Some of the texts that integrate different genre including war, capitalism and urban life include “ The Octopus ”(1901). In the First text, the narrator talks about war, capitalism and early urbanization in California. Conflict arises between the railway company and the ranches. The railway company enjoys the monopoly and charges exorbitant freight charges, something which makes the wheat farmers strike. The story shows how people have turned out to be indifferent throughout time. The novel is a 20th-century novel but still has relevance today. It demonstrates a system of power whereby human beings have become so detached that they are unable to consider the needs of other rational people as well. This is depicted on how the railway cooperation is concerned with the profits during the time and not other concerns of individuals. The culture of individuality is taking over from the old culture of being a community. This clash results into colossal conflict.

{START HERE, continue to the “stop” and answer the question posted at the end} WHAT IS THE RELEVANCE AND APPLICTION TO YOUNG ADULT LITRATURE HERE??? Literature has significant impacts regarding the development of the society. The implication is that literature throughout history has played a substantial role in shaping civilization, altering political systems and brought to light injustices that have occurred throughout time. Language and literature are related in the manner in which both the two have shaped civilization throughout the world. Precisely, it pinpoints that language and research developed in demographics where civilization started. The class is the organization of relationships where people are grouped in accordance to their level of education, occupation, and income. The use of the English language is precise to almost all of these factors. Achievements in nearly all the categories require the use of English language, for instance, high education levels are attained primarily through the use of English language. Writers and readers in the 18th century were greatly influenced by the 18th-century culture that was preoccupied with social class.

After 1680, there was a significant shift especially changes in the origin of authors as many authors did not come from the aristocracy class but rather the middle class. Some of the authors including Gay, Swift, Haywood, and Richardson came from modest backgrounds while the others such as Pope, and Fielding came from very humble origins without immense wealth. After the restoration, authors were concerned with writing for city booksellers who believed literature was a trade and became very rich from selling the books (Raven). Eighteenth-century society generally sought stability by maintaining old political structures in the face of economic change and fearful memory of social upheaval during the Civil War and Interregnum. Literary development throughout this era was very responsive to these changes that were taking place, but also there was a need to ensure the stability of the society. Balancing these conflicting forces was not, however, easily housed within existing literary genres. Therefore, the backgrounds that most of the authors lived influence their writing. For instance, revolution, slavery , and many other factors influenced literature, and many of the people had to express the injustice caused during the period.

Human societies have assigned different roles, behavior, morality, and thoughts to men and women. They used the biological distinction to exhibit the difference of gender, for instance during the 18th century English Standards of feminity, women were required to devote their lives to undertaking domestic chores. Additionally, women were not supposed to question the opinions of men as they were regarded ad their guardians. Education, social experience and financial background affected readership of women. Women were not admitted until the 18th century. This, therefore, changed their participation in literature as opposed to men. During the 19th century, women from both the middle class and the upper class had leisure time and financial resources to access literature through serial publications. This enhanced move readership of literature among women. Gender difference, education, and experience have influenced the lives of many female authors. Alexander Pope for instance who was a famous playwright and novelist and his rival author Eliza Heywood believed that it was as if Alexander Pope writing did not emerge from an intelligent and well-regulated mind but immense ignorance and the dull animality of women. Jane Austen who had very little school knowledge since she spent less than two years of schooling for young men when her brothers attended Oxford. She believes that being denied classical education denied her essential knowledge of science and philosophy as well as quotations and allusions that were male privileges. As some of the genres relied more upon on formal education, novel writing genre would integrate more women because it had limited official rules and a tradition that could be accessed by the English language. Many of the female authors took upon themselves to address the injustices that were done on women. Eliza Heywood ’s, explorations of power games between men and women in the workplace as demonstrated in “Fantomina.” Therefore from this description, we can say that many of the literary works of women are concerned in addressing many of the injustices that were done to women and discouraged the dominance of men in almost all the spheres of life. Elizabeth Gaskell’s work ,for instance, “Ruth”, explored the hardships that a single mother and this text was burned in her house and was even symbolically burned by her male acquaintances. Taking into considerations the limitations that women underwent, it was challenging to find related themes that would find their way into the writing of women. Therefore, literature affected many women in that many struggled to get their work recognized and presented different themes as opposed to men literature that concentrated upon other life affairs.

Language has had significant impacts on gender too. Research on gender and language is concerned with studies that are concerned with the difference and dominance in language (Coates, 76). Women’s speech integrates question tags which mark their language as inferior and weak. Therefore, when a girl learns this subordinate speech puts her in a demeaning position throughout their lifetime. Additionally, men language can be aggressive and direct while women language can be emotional and standard.

Language and ethnicity relate because minority ethnic groups learn a language that is dominant in a particular area. This forces them to replace their language with the new language, or instead, they are forced to combine their language with a new language. The different race has different ways in which they perceive the language. {STOP}??1.(WHAT IS THE RELEVANCE and application to Adolescent Literature in above section?) 2. Highly plagiarized section, not cited correctly? PARAPHRASING in “own” words must be citated as direct quotes?

The manner in which literature relates to the different factors is appropriate for adolescents at different reading levels in many ways. START (SPECIFY what is meant by “factors” and “levels”)?? STOP Firstly, adolescents through these factors they can recognize the worth that they have in the society. As adolescent is the stage that kids want to be like others of the same sex, then, they will strive to be like role models of their sexuality. For instance, six-year adolescents would adopt the choices that seem to be famous for their younger adolescents. MUST SUPPORT THIS “POWERFULL” ASSERTION WITH RESEARCH? START Therefore, through reading literature and language and how they are related to the socioeconomic factors, it is evident that they will be willing to undertake the same path in addressing or even promoting the themes that they approach in the literature.?? STOP They will develop more interest to explore literature that explores their topic of interest if for instance is to find out how different genders, race or any other historically persecuted groups emerge to overcome the persecution. Examples of adolescent literature that illustrates what you are saying?


START How adolescents are understood in the society is a socially constructed through systems of social arrangements available during a particular period. Adolescence is not a universal phenomenon as others are rebellious and others are compliant. Historical, philosophical and cultural background advocate for this construct. However, they have different ways of exploring adolescent in both the contemporary literature and traditional literature .”START” VERY GOOD, NAME SOME OF THE PROTAGANIST EXAMPLES IN THE TEXT READ Many of the conventional Young Adults Literature aims at investigating the various ways in which young adults protagonists can be of great help.?? Add ANDERSON’S, Fever 1793 and the role “Matilda’s” bravery {elaborate) of and Another example “Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson Classical literature objective at directly exploring the adolescents' experiences by overcoming many challenges that are associated with the group. Therefore most of the traditional literature is mainly concerned with exhibiting positive side from adolescents to discourage the predetermined attitude that adults usually have towards adolescents. Consequently, contemporary literature aims at critiquing adult expectations of the youth.STOP In Enright’s (2007) “Anxiety,” for instance, the narrator focuses on the young boys who are taken to, and they are not concerned with what results into the boy having a suicidal mind and even pulling him out of school.

The cause of the psychological problems that the young adult was undergoing is basically because of bullying, isolation, and teasing. Therefore this novel aims at demonstrating the reasons as to why young adults are involved in some of the delinquent behaviors, for instance pulling out of school and increased suicidal minds. However, according to the adults, the boy is depressed because of the divorce that is imminent between her parents. They do not see his problem as a growing problem, and they take him seriously. Contemporary literature also aims at enhancing adolescents to learn disciplinary behaviors.



Some novels such as “The Hunger Games” aim is to exhibit the different disciplinary behaviors that adolescents should instill within their character. The popularity of the novel has enhanced the opportunity for “START,” “ digital literacy” (the novel or the film)?? ”STOP” for adolescents for versatile means of literature involvement that young people show significance, thereby expanding and promoting their experiences with literature.

Oppressive ruling regimes, constant surveillance, being denied freedom and conforming to the rules are among the aspects that adolescents have to face daily. Effects of parental control and peer pressure make adolescents feel as if they are trapped and that they need to look for proper means to alter their current situations. A dystopian world is similar to an adolescent world where it is not possible to get to the situations that they are not capable of fixing (Bethune 86). As young protagonist’s adults begin the journey of searching for an identity, it is crucial to understand that the world in which they live in not perfect, and there is no freedom. Lois Lowry’s The Giver (1993), is an example of a dystopian novel where the main aim is to demonstrate a world in which everything is controlled and decide for the citizens. Citizens in the novel are controlled on whom to marry, the kind of children that they ought to receive and where they will work. There is the narrator, Jonas, who realizes the undoing of the society and strives to unveil his knowledge to the members of the society. Contemporary literature, therefore, is designed at testing the protagonist ability to survive in such kind of a world.

The “Hunger Games”, is also a representation of a dystopian society. In the novel the living conditions are unbearable. Moreover there is a culture of choosing boys and girls to participate in the hunger games which is a deadly competition that has no regards for life. While the fight is ongoing, the whole of the country watches to see who emerges the winner in the hunger games. However, life is not very hard at the Capitol, where there is total power and control of the districts.

The novel provides efficient commentary into income disparity, authoritative government and dictatorial type of leadership. In the novel there is a female protagonist who strives to change the authoritative culture and disparities in the distribution of income. Using the bow and the arrow she is determined to change everything for the better. This novel can truly demonstrate how female protagonists can really share and change everything for the betterment of the society. To be precise contemporary literature will portray the world as an hopeless one for the young adult but the main aim is to make them learn, how to develop countermeasure for the challenges that they face. In “The Hunger Games ”, the female protagonists is presented as if she is a murder but they are meant to portray how young adults can put up a strong fight against social injustices.

Fiction Literature of vampires, werewolves is a demonstration that portrays how teens wrestle with identity is a dystopian setting with themes that are concerned with the role of individuals to the community (Basu et al.et al. 15). Most of the dystopian literature especially for the young adults might expose the young teenagers as being delinquent. On the other hand, they help present a world with a lot of hardships, , and therefore teens are required to find connections and solutions to the problems existing in their lives. The depiction of hopelessness as demonstrated in dystopias literature is not to depress adolescents, but on the other hand, they have a more positive purpose. The primary objective is to provide a social explanation on the appropriate ways in which adults have to live and to deal with challenges of life. This help adolescents to develop concrete knowledge about the world if in any case, they have to progress and share their experience to others and spread the hope required to overcome the challenges that exist in the world (Cart 103).

Conclusion

Young Adolescents protagonists in both contemporary and traditional literature are portrayed as being capable of overcoming the challenges that they encounter on a daily basis. How might you connect these two sentences clearly to show the relationship between these two ideas? There exists a relationship between language, literature and socio-economic factors that influence how young female adolescent read literature. Even the traditional literature which is concerned with a dominant male society helps the female readers to deal with the challenges that exist even in the contemporary world and the means in which they can disseminate the knowledge on how to deal with the upheavals that live in the society.

Both the modern and traditional literatures have a similar perception of adolescents. However, they are different in the ways they help integrate adolescents in reading the literature. Contemporary literature is mainly concerned with a real world, and even fiction literature promotes commentary of what indeed faces adolescents on a daily basis. In this way, it will be possible for young female protagonists to avoid the traps of life that may come their way. YAL aims at giving adolescents themselves and even adults themselves a different perception that they have regarding young adults. Since this is what constitutes adolescents are socially constructed, and thus literature aims at dismantling this perception that helps the adults to have a different opinion of themselves that would result in the difference in the society.
