1438 Words6 Pages

Funny, smart, and honest. There are no better words to describe Mrs. McCracken. At a 31 years old, she has done more than I could ever imagine. You probably have seen her work, too. Working for major advertising companies is kind of her thing. I sat in my tiny fluorescent lit dorm room as I nervously logged in to my Skype account. When she answered, I immediately sat up a little straighter and regretted my extremely casual outfit choice. She was wearing a professional blazer and was sitting in a fancy conference room. Mrs. McCracken is living my dream so I immediately started firing off questions for her.

    659 Words  | 3 Pages

From the beginning of this reading, the gender roles concept was frequently used to compare characters and their roles in the story. As a punishment, Marjorie would be forced to act like a boy by her parents, who referred to it as “boying” days. “On boying days there would always be a job to do, a house repair project usually…it was almost as if he really did want a son there to help him” (Merullo 74). As a female, it was as uncommon for one to participate in house repairs and outdoor work, so the roles of gender were altered in this setting.
