Outside Reading gender roles

"Jasmine is 35 pounds who has a twitchy curiosity, a pink coat, brown eyes, her butt is hunched to the ground, her head is bowed back and her ears are pinned back" (Gorant 72). This may seem a little weird but in that last quote you meet Jasmine a DOG who was rescued from the Michael Vick. Even though Jasmine is a female dog she has feelings that normal people have to face. For example today I learned that women in Darfur are being raped and abused when they leave their houses in search for food. Jasmine's story is exactly the same because where she was living there was the "rape stand" which strapped female dogs to the stand and male dogs could breed without getting injured. After being raped you here stories about people being tense and how depressing it is and that is what Jasmine does. "She gets within a foot of the hand and stops. She licks her snout, a sign of nervousness, and looks up at the stranger, seeking assurance... But Jasmine pulled away." (Gorant 72). This quote shows how Jasmine feels about meeting a stanger after going throught this 'Bad' News Kennels'.
