Donaldson 1 Jabari Donaldson Dr . Leiby ENGL-1A 61 14 9 March 2024 T itle: Alice W alker's Ef fective Use of Pathos in "In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens” Introduction In her essay , “In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens”, Alice W alker utilizes pathos to impress and inspire her primary audience, African-American women, by recounting their struggles. Published in 1972 during the racially tumultuous period in America, the essay is a lyrical and emotional portrayal of the indefatigable spirit of women of color . By sharing stories of these women's ef forts for social change, W alker emphasizes how they are undervalued and made to feel irrelevant by society . Her essay is a heartfelt description of a continuum, childhood to middle age, their endless struggle, and ceaseless search for their lost creativity and history . W alker believes that these women are perfect examples of heroes and demands that the contributions of these women be recognized so as to create an unbiased reality . African-American women, young innocent girls hurting to grab the reins of life, are the call of W alker's primary audience. By sharing their stories, W alker connects with her audience at an authentic level and utilizes pathos to persuade her readers through their emotions. Early on, in the first pages of “In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens' ', W alker communicates to her audience the theme of her essay by contrasting herself with her mother . She ponders her background reflecting about the flourishing artistic legacy , she calls “our mothers’ gardens' ', incorporating both biological and artistic creation that was deprived of her and consequently the lack of role models, during her childhood. That kind Donaldson 2 of heritage was ef ficiently denied to young women of color . Y outh was hopeless because these women were blinded to their royal orders, art and partnership pantry . She notes that they were not allowed to use the front doors of their churches, not shown by museums or pictures of their predecessors, the ladies and queens of their heritage. Influential by nurturing the works of revolutionary women as V irginia W oolf, feminist scholar , philosopher and critic , Rosakaya La Guadu, a recipient of the Litt.D and a candidate of the University of Munich , author and civil rights leader Grace Mitle represent substantive style development from “Ms.” T o the name. W alker shows wit in first and last page and allusion all the paragraphs of her essay by viewing the line of history of her story to the one’ s W ool creates. W alker also recalls the violence experienced by women during the civil rights movement when they refused to be bullied simply because of their race. She remembers a white Medgar Evers, slain by a coward in the butt of State behind and deserted in the driveway of his home, Évers, basically brutally killed, but hardly unremembered in these women. Those tears are as drenching from the moon she also observes that Stokely Car Michael, the former chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee had advocated. “relying irrevocably on the gun” she let her audience to Lukumi, young woman, gripping the progress of e demonstration helplessly who was beaten after surrendering to a policeman behind her and “Sister Patricia Carter , a would-be black catholic rookie, who had to turn away from the world and down natural lust through le four ”(318), “speeded” And ”when it’ s missed” to more influential sisters, and had died of an embolism less than a year ago. Then, walker herself applies quality pathos to symbolically and sum up the legacy by holding a humorous moment by making a reader to, have unpleasant associations with family’ s boycott Donaldson 3 funerals not held by color people, watching sherley ann Jackson, the toothless wonders of Geor gia and waiting to exhale” and “Sally” more seriously . Hence, in the first three pages of her essay , waker makes it clear that it will be a lyrical and heartfelt description of the lost dream of African- women who before her publication in 1972 and into the new millennium, continue search for meaning, power and love of history . She turns her essay from descriptive to ar gument tension by asking why “our mothers overlooked” so that nobody knew what they were doing and the things they were creating (3). The response pathos she believes no one knows because their daughters don’ t value the quilts as art and to the hatred of our solutions, the of fer of peace and brotherly understanding” and “presencing up” instead. She tar gets sixty –ish white Liberal for ; lacking imagination and unaware from stifled race, colored ambition and African presence, who mentions “Stokely”, “H. “Rarp Brown !and “say it loud I’m black and I’m proud !”, staring at one tensely as they the jokingly” revolutionary sisters, maintain strong eye content exactly the color of hope. As well hoping that beneath some cloud of pseudo liberal benignity and know-nothing soulfulness is the real modern woman, well, still alive and jitterbugging inside her sixinch stiletto heals! (323-324) W alker's “In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens” gave an opportunity to many people to see and value the contributions of their mothers. Beginning the readers of essay were apt to get a picture of seprenscid black women adored and admired. Benson and Glover aptly; for the black woman the first step toward liberation, toward a movement from lower class to middle class, to”reneering to angel and old satellite” was unearthing several plots: where she was legitimate. Publications of the essay in a book distinguished the white and well-of f women who tried to articulate about lives of lesser members or the third world’ s woman’ s attempt to turn itself inside Donaldson 4 and model the majority's jacoba thaw having imagined the words of poor black rural people. Unarticulate speak about Los Angeles world of sixetter art and what became known artists Civil Interest who live by Mojave desert and in 1979, in speaking about the legacy of the essay rays that it was. Conclusion In conclusion, W alker ef fectively utilizes pathos to commemorate the creativity , sacrifices, and vision of daughters of the African-American Slave women dwindling away memory of an unimaginable and held in oppressive subordination. Her essay is a heartfelt description of a continuum of childhood to middle-age, youth mer ging to reliable aging, and bright innocent girls tenderly hurting to hold the reins of life. Though W alker ’s use of pathos runs throughout the essay , in the end, she is determined to let her audience drift from just being emotional, but rather to think about the deserving tribute and recognition of the ef forts of black women art and cooking. Y oung African –American women are W alker's call. She emphasizes “Surely , among the most vital, the most dangerously unacknowledged of antion our mothers their daughters”(318) and seeks for a tribute” which is not just vanity that seeks with one eye/ present emptiness...../but the grave, tribute of the heart that knows”(321).
