Likely Job Character

Society disapproved of women working outside of their homes. People believed that women were not smart or strong enough to maintain a proper job. Magazines, including Esquire and Life Magazine, highlighted women in the workplace and wrote about how working outside of the house would “jeopardize their children’s mental and emotional health”. Women only had one goal in life which was to fulfill the role of being a good housewife. The housewife stereotype took control of suburbia and created a predetermined role for women. Social expectations of women pressured them into researching how to be the best possible housewife. Looking after the children, cooking meals, and keeping the house clean were some of the many tasks they had to complete around the house. As Betty Friedan wrote in the Feminine Mystique, “there was a reoccurring problem among women that remained unsolved”, many women experienced feelings of emptiness and boredom. An interview that Friedan captured explains this more, “I love the kids and Bob and my home”, she begins to, “feel I have no personality”. The men of the house have a simple but powerful role. Men would typically work during the day and expect to come home to a clean house and the children tended to. Men would get to relax and have a drink while waiting for his wife to prepare dinner. Men were the dominant decision makers and held all the power. If jobs were not getting done around the house, the husband would have to enforce and make sure they get done. The roles set in the suburban life were biased towards men and the women had little

She was fifty - three years old. A vast remainder of her life stood in front of her that should have been fulfilled with watching her children prosper, retirement and blissful moment. That was only fair. She had strived through poverty when she was younger, lost her husband at thirty - six, giving her the emotional and financial burden to raise three children on her own, aided others as a CNA for most of her career hood and never succumbed to any of it. So shouldn’t life have been easier for her now? Hadn’t every bad thing already happen?

In “The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County”, the dialect establishes the tone between the narrator and Wheeler by having Wheeler tell a series of stories about a betting man named Smiley. The narrator makes a point to emphasize that Wheeler is a just average person and that he has little interest in interviewing him about a likely mad up story about a man named Smiley. This results in the tone of the story being nonchalant. For example, “…it would remind him of his infamous Jim Smiley, and he would got to work and bore me to death with some exasperating reminiscence of him as long and tedious as it should be useless to me. I that was the design, it succeeded.” (Twain 1285) The relationship between the two was like a mother scolding

Every mother is supposed to love their children, but sometimes a mother has to teach their children a lesson.

Tyria Moore had fled to stay with her family in Pennsylvania, but soon after she was found and questioned by the police. They wanted her to write a letter to Wuornos with her contact information so police listen in on conversations between the two and get even more information about the crimes. She agreed to cooperate and even gave testimony against Wuornos. She claimed that Wuornos had mentioned to her before that she had killed a man. Moore told police she believed Wuornos had been killing people due to the accumulation of new items and cars, but did not want to question Wuornos any further fearing she would become an accomplice to the crime. “Moore later showed law officers where to find the gun. Grooves in the gun were similar to markings found on the fatal bullets, though an expert testified that the particular grooves were fairly common and could be found in other weapons” (Wuornos v. State, 1994). The gun evidence alone would not be sufficient enough to

She is a typical 1950s era house wife. For most of the movie she was seen at home cleaning or cooking. Another important factor is that she stands by her husband though he can be a jerk. However, she doesn’t allow him to walk over her; she tells him about his crap. Whenever he makes sexual remarks to her when there is company around, she tells him about her disapproval.

The intricate dystopia presented in Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake follows lead character Jimmy through a series of flashbacks and current happenings. In the novel, Jimmy’s mother, Sharon, who was once an extraordinary microbiologist, is left depressed and dysfunctional. In this fictional world, she faces many troubles caused by husband, but I don’t believe these were at fault for her depression. The list of possible reasons for her depression is lengthy, but I believe that it is directly a cause of her change in environment and lifestyle, since an exceptionally intelligent person, like Sharon, should have been able handle the other changes. One plausible reason, which I believe is insignificant, is Sharon’s Husband’s “lab technician”, Ramona,
