The Goal

Although we've only written two papers so far, and we may only be writing four in total, but I've been trying to write about the same topic in each of them. I've been naming in "gender roles," but if I am to be completely honest, I'm trying to write about sex and how it's used as a tool in the novels or in this case vignettes. Unfortunately, I am having some trouble finding examples of that in these stories. And I'm not complaining; though I may seem to be without a paper, I have found a quite fruitful one; not only does Norma showing characteristics of a hero show signs of the cycle of alcoholism and drug dependency, but also that they're fully returning to their culture from 500 years ago. This is not a sign of returning to the hero in the modern sense, where the all-to-general perception is male, but rather to the warrior definition of the Indians/Native Americans/Indian Americans/I don't even know anymore. I had originally seen this as more progressive, in the sense that they were traveling both forward and backward in time simultaneously, but upon further research it seemed like I was wrong. Names are another good topic. Anyway, does anyone have any examples of my original point to hopefully remedy my "problem?"
