Article Evaluation
In "Yellow Woman" the story about a woman who meets a man on the river and goes on a small adventure. Another take to the theme is a feminist theory. Yellow Woman did not have much qualities except being an American Indian woman being sexualized throughout the story. It is a story about a colored woman being used as a sex symbol to a man and being used for her body. Her body is seen as more of a person than she is, being described several times and seen as the most important part of her. Her personality is not described often in the story unlike her body color and shape. She is portrayed as easy and very manipulative or reckless. She is seen as a lousy mother and wife for leaving her husband and child at home while she goes on an adventure and sexual encounter with another man giving to the thought that woman want to sexualize their bodies and would be willing to leave a family behind the follow a man. Though her caring nature comes out when she frequently thinks of her family, it is not long before she begins to be distracted by the mystery man on the river.

"Yellow Woman" by Leslie M. Silko is about a woman who finds a man on the river and follows him around the woods.

I plan on evaluating the article "Yellow Woman". I plan on mostly focusing on the theme of the story.

Yellow Woman is not just a story about a woman going along with a man but instead a story all about her body instead.
