cry. I had never thought it was possible” (Weisel 19). In this quote Elie is thinking to himself. He thought this when he was outside with the others because all of the Jewish people were forced to leave their homes. Elie was thinking this because earlier in the book he said that his dad barely shows any emotion and that they are not that close to each other so it was weird to him. Elie’s dad is like my dad because the only time that I saw my dad cry was when his brother died, but that was the only

siblings. He found a home in the Underworld, with Hades, and quickly gained his trust. When Hades heard the news that his plan was working and Pestilence had been released, there was no doubt in his mind that Maximus was the man for the next task. And Maximus was eager to please the man who had become the father figure that he needed. He watched her closely, knowing that if he caught her at the right moment then there was no way he could fail. And he couldn 't fail. Through woods and across rivers, his

My entire life has changed due to my kindness. Therefore, should I no longer be kind? Why offer my assistance to others if the outcome is penalization? These questions torment my mind; do I acknowledge what's happening around me, or should I just drive by? All I wanted to do was help people, and now, all I do is suffer. The morning was bleak and tinted with gray—not that I cared. I no longer had a place where I was needed, anyway. The day I lost my job was the day nothing mattered; it was as if the

Almost a man” (wright parg#1). The word “Ahm ol enough” and “Almost a man” explains that he is not yet man, but ready to transition to manhood.

society. The topic of gender in society shows a person’s attitude as well as the separation of individuals.

Why was it so hard for women to get more rights in the 19th century? “Ain’t I A Woman?” is a speech given at a women’s convention in 1851 in Akron, Ohio, by Sojourner S. Truth. Truth was an African American and a former slave who dealt with hardships because of her race.

woman on the ranch, she had no one to talk to, so when she spoke to the men, they immediately began accusing her of giving “the Eye” to them all. Society had set its standards. If a woman were to be caught talking to a man, she was a tart. She was unfaithful and was greedy. If a man were to say he was going to a cathouse to sleep and drink off his problems, he’d be considered normal. This created a different set of expectations for men and women. George is a perfect example of this double standard
