Abstract

In patriarchal societies, women are typically considered inferiors, leading to feminist movements. There are many different schools of feminism, including liberal, Marxist and socialist, existentialist, radical, and so forth. This research focuses on existentialist feminism as it is presented in Elizabeth Acevedo's With the Fire on High (2019). This research looks at how Emoni Santiago's character portrays the domestication of women and how Emoni Santiago embraces her circumstances and being a woman in the novel. Existentialist feminism, advocated by Simone de Beauvoir is used to examine Emoni's portrayal as a genuine woman who can exist. Feminist theory is used in this descriptive qualitative research study. Due to her ability to do household and public activities, the outcome demonstrates that Emoni exemplifies existentialist feminism. She succeeds in overcoming her dependence on and subordination to men regarding her economic state, personal decisions, and marriage. All possible manifestations of Emoni Santiago's existence are referred to as the transcendence of women in modern society. Emoni can eliminate labels for women like second sex and the Other by attaining a level of transcendence. Existentialist feminism can be fully realized by women being able to do a variety of tasks or positions in the private and public spheres because they are aware of what it means to be present as a woman in society. Next, having a strong desire to do or create something can be used by women to justify their existence in a patriarchal society.

Abstract

Interest may appear from curiosity about a subject, skill, or anything else. It implies that the motivation to study and act has come from interest. Interest has two types which are personal interests and situational interests. Personal interest refers to a person's generally consistent and enduring disposition, personality feature, or quality toward something. While the psychological state of being interested in a task or activity at a specific time is known as situational interest. This study focuses on the personal interests in the cooking of Emoni Santiago, a female character in With the Fire on High. She becomes motivated to learn about the culinary field and take Culinary Arts programs as her education to improve her skills in cooking. This study analysis used five aspects of interest promoted by Schunk et al. This study's findings are Emoni Santiago's personal interest which can be approved from her general attitude toward the activity, her specific conscious use for or living, her enjoyment of the activity, personal importance of the significance of the activity to the individual, and participation to the activity. The personal interest is used to determine that Emoni Santiago is motivated for learning about Culinary Arts since the program allows her to stay in touch with her interest in cooking. Furthermore, the Culinary Arts program can teach her something new, such as the fact that culinary is more than just preparing cuisine; it encompasses the art of everything related to culinary terms.
