Elements of an Essay
Voice
“To be an artist and a black woman, even today lowers our status in many respects, rather than
raises it and yet, artists we will be."
Alice Walker uses a determined voice, determined to be an artist and prove to the whole world
how great black women are. Also, this comes amid knowing that being a black woman and at the
same time an artist does not earn one respect in the society.
Style
Below this quilt I saw a note that says it was made by "an anonymous Black woman in
Alabama, a hundred years ago."
If we could locate this "anonymous" black woman from Alabama, she would turn out to be one
of our grandmothers-an artist who left her mark in the only materials she could afford, and in the
only medium her position in society allowed her to use."
Alice Walker employs some styles to drive her point home and also make her essay unique. In
the above quote, Alice makes use of repetition to emphasize how black women were treated in
those days. She uses the word "only" twice to show that black women were not allowed to make
progress in what they were doing and so they could not afford quality materials to express their
art.
