Women literature is defined in many ways . It explores the reaches of women’s lives. They focus on the dynamics of relationships with family, friends, and lovers. They may end happily, though not always, that examine issues which confront many women, at work or at home. Women literature tries to reach out to all women. A lot of women have been through things that have damaged them physically and mentally. They write to show how women got through their problems, how they stood tall and held their head high. They right to guide fellow women who go through similar things so it won’t lead them it to depression or anything worse. In a lot of the books they talk about women looking for their identity finding themselves after their hardship. It goes through the history of women describing how they got to the place they are now there life. It strives for women to take a stand know their inner beauty. Women have always made a big difference in the world but never been acknowledged for it.
In Enslers book she describes the different emotions from women growing up and I have never read nothing like that .To Ensler language is what is important. Language defined is a body of words and the system for their use, most common to people as a way of defining who they are, from the same community, nation, geographical area or their cultural and tradition. In the authors eyes what you call your body parts is a big deal. Your description of you shows the level of respect you have for yourself, in this case your body. When defining your sexuality, body, e.t.c your choice of words and the way you say things also gives off emotions and inner feelings of one’s self. A point the author is trying to make is that women are self- conscious and don’t give themselves enough credit. Women are looked down on and certain acts like talking about their vaginas is something they would find shameful because of society
It isn’t what we are taught in high school. And then there is the women who really went through hardship in camps loosing their homes have to be the head of the house, why can’t we learn about that. So many women have been raped and abused and people have seen or known and kept quite, why is that? When will women’s lives be cherished . In women literature that’s what it’s about understanding what it means to be a women, taking control. In the book two or three things I know for sure I like how the family was basically a females. The cycle of women in a lot of families are the same or have similar outcomes. Very few women have the strength to change. I believe it has to do more with them seeing the life and turning the look on it negative so it would be something they hate and want to change, It's like a family curse. You can't stop all habits you will eventually pick up some but it's the ones you choose to keep that make you stand out from all the rest.
I learned about a lot of different women and the different struggles. I learned a lot about being a women and how u really physically have to love yourself unconditionally. I recognized why I go through some of the things I do based of other women’s stories. I want to continue reading books about women and learning about their obstacles . I found that you can learn a lot about your life and things that go on from it and it helps when trying to make goals for yourself. I want to know more about the work Ensler it is similar to the things I want to do. I enjoyed the movie on the female inmates a lot it made me want to cry. Women literature is one of the best things out for women because only previous women can guide and encourage women.

Two or three things I know for sure

After finishing this book I came to conlcude that her saying it can be the truth or fiction was based on peoples believe. She stated in the book that her aunt didn't believed she was rapped because she only believed whgat she chose to believe and that same statement goes for who ever the listener/reader is because wether they believe it or not it is truth to her.
The cycle of women in a lot of families are the same or have similar oputcomes. Very few women have the strength to change. I believe it has to do more with them seeing the life and turing the look on it negative so it would be something they hate and want to change, It's like a family curse.You can't stop all habits you will eventually pick up some but it's the ones you choose to keep that make you stand out from all the rest. Dorthy's two or three things..., were a lot of truthful things about life and it help me understand the situations she was explaining better. My favorite two or three things was the one where she stated you can love and hate something and not understand why. i believe this is true about nost life instances and people settling for things they truthfully can hate  but at the same time it's like they love it because they stick with it in a sense.

two or three thing i know for sure

The beginning of this book is a little confusing I must admit. The way it opened and said it was telling a story and then it was just her talking I wasn't sure when the story begin or ended. In the beginning she starts of saying she is a story teller. All stories are not true and she makes that statement known as well. So i wonder is this a true story, a fiction story, or a little bit of both. It almost seems as if she is telling the story from her eyes, something an outsider wouldn't see. It's like the world sees this image as something they think might be real but can be a lie to the person who is living the truth. From what I did understand it seem like as a child she was confused. She wondered who determines her life along with her family’s life. Why did she have to be labeled as white trash when she was innocent? More importantly why does any have to be labeled as something because the way they choose to live? It is true though depending on your families action you can easily get a label based off them. When her mom died there was a part in the book where the aunt announced them as their mother's daughters and i took that as her aunt trying to label them as well. As an adult no matter what you should never tell a child they are this and they are that. And if it is done at home you can expect that if it comes from strangers it affects the child mentally.

Rosa is a lonely and doesn't really have anyone to confide in. It's like she is scared of everyone in the world she feels as if they are out to harm her in every way. She puts herself in a box to shut herself off from the world. Just like a lot of human beings in this world. In the book you never hear Rosa talk about her having an real friends in her life. It could possibly be because she was still young when she got taken to the camps and didn't really get to live her life.
Persky tried to be her friend. He tried to get all the worries off her mind and have her enjoy her life. But she just pushed him away. She viewed him as someone trying to run a game on her. I believe his role was to try and open her up .He got he to get a little out of her shell and from the looks of it he was the only one to make some success. Through out her whole life she was in need of letting out her steam and with the help of Persky and the manager at the hotel she got to do some of those things. Her lashing out at the manager was letting out all her emotions she felt from being in the camp. She went through torture ,and couldn’t stand up for her rights couldn’t say what she wanted and at the hotel she did. She called the manager a nasiz directly during their conversation. Which shows being there she really felt as if she was in the camp.
