Mariah
'Marriage in different culture lead to two different perspective on bigamy,polygamy and monogamy'. For me,this is depend on the man himself, although different culture can be a main course for a conflict between husband and wife, but if the couples know how to solve it wisely,and if their love is really strong,there should not be any problems. This story presents,the typical Malay culture, it is nothing in Malay culture for a man to marry up to four women,because it is legal in the religion itself. In Malaysia,this is very common among Malay,but not Chinese,and Indian.
Tragedy of My Third Eye
- In my opinion,bullying is something that only those who want others to feel they are superior than anyone else will do. They felt proud when people acknowledge them with their power. For example, Linda, she bullied Ping(the narrator) because she wanted the whole class think that she is the superior than everyone else. Although not the whole class like her,but they rather be their follower. This shown that she has the power in the class.
- Third Eye represent of a girl who had a difficult time in her class and in home. She don't really have good time,especially in Miss Wang's class,who favoured Linda,Ping's enemy. In her home,she is not threated well by her aunt,who was recently became her mother. She missed her granmother very much.

Color Purple
The changes in the characters that I notice are:
- Celie-Before, she was a coward that doesn’t know how to protect herself. The treatment from her father made her became like that. She was afraid even to smile. However after met with Shug, and Sophia, she learned how to defend herself, she smile whenever she want to. At the end of the story, she can’t bare with her husband anymore, and decided to follow Shug and her husband.
- Shug-She had conflict with her with father. She felt that her father didn’t love her. She through her life with her own without rely on someone. After met with Celie, she felt sorry with her life and decided to help Celie.
- Sophia-She was born in the ‘man family’, that is why, she know how to protect herself. She won’t let anybody harm her. However her braveness can’t be accepted, especially at that time, where skin color is still an issue. In the end, her braveness put her in misery; she became maid of the ‘white’. At last, she accepted her fate.
Roles of women in the movie
Roles of women as potrayed in the movie is women are they were treated just like a thing. They were not treated as they supposed to be. They were not treated even as human being. For example, how can a father rape her child twice and sold the baby, to get money. Thus, in the movie women must know how to satisfied man,so that she can be happy. For example, Celie husband treat Shug good, because he likes her and she knew how to treat man.
