Bayers, Peter L. "Larry Watson's Montana 1948 and Euroamerican Representation of Native/Euroamerican History." Rocky Mountain Review of Language & Literature 61 (2007): 35-50. 29 Apr. 2008 .

Peter L. Bayers, a writer for the Rocky Mountain Review of Language and Literature, writes about how Montana 1948 relates to the European view of Americans in the west and the relationship between the western American and the Native American. He then continues to talk about how the western man treated the Native American and how they eventually killed the Indians and took over their land. He also talks about how the native American was treated by the western man and how that relates to how the housekeeper is treated in the book Montana 1948. He then continues to talk about how history is related to the book and how the author, Larry Watson is pre-occupied with the legacy of the American conquest of Native America. He finishes his article by talking about the personal needs of the western american to conquer the west.

Feminism


Well, this week my teacher wanted us to post about feminism and then relate it to Macbeth. Well first of all we must identify what feminism is for us to truly talk about it. Feminism, as defined by dictionary.com, is the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men. Personally I think that women are equal to men in certain aspects. Take the NBA for instance. If you took the Boston Celtics, the best team in the NBA right now, and had them play the Detroit Shock, the number one W NBA team. I'm pretty sure that the Boston Celtics would win. Another example is how many women do u find in the NFL. None, although that doesnt mean that women don't play football, they just don't play as well as the guys do. The only women I could think of that is good at football is Holley Mangold. She is someone who has worked hard for respect and she is a good role model for feminism. Now there are the good role models and there are the bad ones. For Example Paris Hilton, I'm sure we all know who she is, if you don't then your probably a hermit but just in case, she is a hotel heiress who will never have to work a day in her life but claims that she fought for womens right. WRONG!! Paris Hilton did nothing for womens right but in fact made me think that women shouldn't have rights because she is just such an idiot. She does all this stupid stuff, and yet young women today still idolize her for being a great role model. Tell me, did your role model ever make a sex tape then put it out on the internet? I would not ever want my kids to even think about having her as a role model. They would just become dumber.
When I think about women who actually deserve or deserved rights I think of people like Rosa Parks who faught for what she believed in. Paris Hilton didn't fight for anything. If women want to be equal they should also have the same responsibilities as men. My English teacher brought up a very good point in class. He said that if women are equal to men, then why do men always pay for the bill when they go to dinner. Thats completely unfair for us men, but women still are equal to men. Now, Lady Macbeth is also a women of power who fought(dirty I might add) for what she wanted. She wanted her husband to be king so she helped have the king murdered. She is a Women who I would consider a feminist.
