Gender Roles In The Chase By Annie Dillard
1. Gender Roles In The Chase By Annie Dillard
How much do gender roles mean to you? In the story, The Chase by Annie Dillard, a young girl, Annie, grows up in a town where being a girl didn't
affect how she grew up. When Annie was a child she played football, baseball and threw snowballs with the boys. So as you can see being a girl in
Annie's neighborhood didn't affect her, but as everyone grows up, we all realize that gender roles really do matter. We all probably grew up with boys
and girls, but all places were different. One might have grown up in a town where you weren't allowed to do certain things because you were a girl.
Otherwise, someone might have grown up in a town where nobody really cares about whether you were a boy or a girl. Either way, throughout my
childhood, rules and roles were all based on whether you were a boy or a girl, and as I moved on through my life, I realized that those gender roles
mean a lot more as we grow older.
Annie Dillard grew up in a neighborhood, I would assume much like mine. Being a girl didn't matter, having long hair and wearing dresses didn't
matter to her, but one might have grown up in different situation. When I was growing up, I had an older brother, Cameron, that is 10 years older than
me. At the age of 18 he went off into the USMC and me, as an 8–year–old, didn't really realize how brave he was. Cam spend 8 years in the Marines,
and when he arrived home I realized how many boy AND girls had joined the military. Hearing stories from him made me realize that no matter

Broken... We 've all got memories that will forever haunt us and that will forever be with us. At one point in someone 's life those memories are
going to be too much for them and they 're ready to give up. You feel as if you just want to be numb. You can 't take it anymore, no matter what the
age. Memories can be wonderful but they also can be your worst nightmare. Kate. My friend had been in that position reasonly. I 'll never forget the
way she acted about a month before it really hit her. The best word to describe it: Broke. Completely utterly broken. She canceled everyone out and

We have a saying in Story Sessions Community: "You are not too much."
"Too much." It was a message we got used to hearing over and over again throughout our lives. "You talk too much. You worry too much. You eat too
much. You're over–thinking it. You are overly dramatic."
Here's a word I hate to see misused: Overly. I see this word assigned to so many human actions as a criticism. Overly emotional, overly dramatic,
overly loud, overly large, overly talkative, overly sensitive. It is part of every story. This word has been used against us. We use this word on others.
We use it on ourselves. It is a sneaky way to dismiss our bodies and our feelings as unimportant; another way of saying our beings take up too much
space. It is a secret ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Emotions are a necessary part of our whole humanity. They may be more than we have learned to be comfortable with, but they are not too much.
You are not too much.
Let's stop using "overly" as a dismissal of ourselves or others. Let's allow for our whole selves to take up space in this world. Let's use our words as an
invitation to be all of who we are, even in the discomfort. Let's use words that build up and do not tear down, words that bring peace and grace.
People need to be loved, not deconstructed. If I truly believe our being human gives us intrinsic value, I need to start acting like it. I need to start
valuing the whole person, and all the space they inhabit. Even, no especially, my wildly creative children. Join me?
You have permission to be the person you are, the size you are, the vocal volume you are, the feelings you are, the talker you are, to be as sensitive and
dramatic as you are. You... are... not... too... much.
Prompt: Sometimes we will encounter hurtful dismissals from ourselves or others through harsh words. The work of a peacemaker is not to return
hurt for hurt, but to overcome it with goodness. Write a blessing to speak truth over the words that wound and the lies of "too much" for when they
arise in your life. Keep it as simple and memorable as:
"These words do not define me. My dreams are not too big for me. I can be all of who I am."

Tears filled my eyes and I was the first one to the door at our next visit. The conversation and human connection were as vital to these people as the

was nervous and scared of the unknown. It is tougher to see those that are sick and lonely face to face rather than just donate money. It is more
difficult to try new things than risk failure. In the end, I learned that getting out of my comfort zone made me feel humble, grateful and inspired.

Sarita, in order to get rid of depression, has to name her lost object. "The thing" she is suffering for its loss. Ironically, Sarita cannot name it and
calls it "this thing". She knows that she cannot call it love. She believes that does not love Julio but actually hates him for being the reason of her
pain. She tries to find a meaning to her life and through her search for it she attempts to find a name for her depressive object to get rid of it. She use
letter writing, prayers to god and questioning her old neighbor Fernando about peace of soul. Hence, through her journey to find meaning, she hopes to
identify her lost 'thing' that drives her depression and emptiness. Sarita's mother Fela, establishes her identity building by identifying to the fixed role
assigned to her as a single mother in the patriarchal society. She accepts the humiliation and disintegration that unwedded woman receives in the male

used as a healing method to overcome the obstacles that the writer of it faces in dealing with his depression, yet, Fornes does not follow this pattern in

It all started the day of April 6th, the day I moved to a school in Canada. Like I mentioned earlier, this was supposed to be the escape I craved for

Finding our true calling in life isn't always easy. To me a calling is something that you find joy in and are passionate about. As followers of Christ

calling rather than just handing it to us. This can be scary as we never know His exact plan. As soon as we get comfortable in one area of our life and
feel as if we have found our calling God throws us a curveball. I don't believe that we just have one calling. Every aspect of our life has a piece of our

As far as my faith, I feel I am called to lead others to God by example. As a Christian I feel a relationship with God is the most important relationship
one can have. There are many different ways to express Christianity and bring people into a relationship with God. One thing I talked about in my
journals is that while going to church is important, I don't think it's the most important part of my faith. To me I feel the most comfortable expressing
my faith by leading by example. I am not very good at talking about my faith, so I try living my life in a way that expresses my Christianity through
actions rather than words. In my journals, I have discussed several different ways I live out my faith such as; building positive relationships,
volunteering, using the talents God gave me, and being there for others.
The journal prompts about our beliefs really got me think about what I believe about finances. Through talking about my beliefs, I discovered it is
important to me to give back to others when I am able. One way that I can do this is by creating a budget that sets aside money each month to donate

13. Essay on Alice Walker's Everyday Use
Alice Walker's "Everyday Use"
In the short story "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker, the author portrays opposing ideas about one's heritage. Through the eyes of two daughters, Dee
and Maggie, who have chosen to live their lives in very different manners, the reader can choose which character to identify most with by judging
what is really important in one's life. In Dee's case, she goes out to make all that can of herself while leaving her past behind, in comparison to
Maggie, who stays back with her roots and makes the most out of the surroundings that she has been placed in. Through the use of symbolism, the
tangible object of a family heirloom quilt brings out these issues relating to heritage to Mama, and she is able to reasonably ... Show more content on
Helpwriting.net ...
Obviously, Dee's family is not who is actually oppressing her. Dee oppresses herself in many ways by the limitations that she puts on herself with
her family and new lifestyle. All of the choices she decides, to make herself a more well rounded person, to better fit into society, end up making
her a deplorable person because of the harm that it has on her family. Literary critic Mary Helen Washington believes Dee is an example of a
stereotypical "assimilated women who alienates them self from their roots, and cuts them self off from real contact with their own people and their
inner self" (22). This concept explains why Dee rarely makes trips home, and shows that she is really disowning a part of herself by not accepting her
family and past.
On the other hand, the younger of the daughters, Maggie, is portrayed as a more homely and loyal daughter who is deeply in touch with her
heritage. On a personal level, Maggie does not contain the strong willed personality of her sister, but is very content with her family's past, and the
direction that her life is taking. Maggie is so accustomed to her strong family ties and the family history that surrounds her everyday in the house,
that it is not a priority to have the quilts passed along to her. She does not need a tangible object to hold on to as her past. Mama knew that "it was
Grandma Dee and Big Dee who taught her how to quilt herself",

15. The Perception Heritage
In "Everyday Use", Alice Walker conveys the story of a mother and her two daughters' conflicting ideas about their identities and ancestry. Mama
is a simple woman that values culture and heritage for its usefulness but also its personal significance. However, her daughter Dee represents a
materialistic way of life where culture and heritage are to be valued only for their artistic appeal.Through the use of symbolism and
characterization, Walker displays how Mama's perception of her two daughter changes regarding the importance of heritage. In the beginning, the
story introduces the characterization of Mama and shows how she views her individuality. Mama waits for Dee "in the yard that Maggie and [her]
made so clean and wavy" (Walker 278), which emphasizes the physical characteristics of the yard; also the use of the word "so," shows the strong
attachment that she and Maggie, her daughter, have to their home. The fact is the yard is "not just a yard. It is like an extended living room" that
expresses the essence of her being (278). Also her description of herself likewise shows a familiarity and comfort with her own self: she is "a large,
big–boned woman with rough, man–working hands" (278). Thus she knows the reality of her body and accepts it, even finding comfort in the way
that her "fat keeps [her] hot in zero weather" (278). Mama is bound to her home because it represents who she is. Thus Walker implies that similarly
this is how she stands in relation to her culture

19. Volunteering In High Schools
J.J. Watt, an American football defensive end for the Houston Texans, once said, "My mom taught me from a young age to give back and volunteer
any chance you get." (Brainyquote). Despite gaining all the fame and money from the NFL (National Football League), the defensive end believes in
the power and the potential of volunteering by altruistically helping out Hurricane Harvey victims with necessary supplies such as water, food, and
other basic needs (USA Today). There certainly has to be a sort of flare that ignites the heart of a volunteer in order to selflessly aid others, as
exemplified by Watt. Yet, that aspect of community service is presently vague among many high schools. Currently, many high schools require students

Unfortunately one major question arises from this obligation. Does mandatory volunteering truly invoke the spirit of volunteering? Selective colleges,
in general, are more stringent than they were in the past by the recruiting process. In fact, the admission committees of these respective colleges
accurately discern inadequate applications from powerful ones, especially in relationship to the commitment level of community service. Passion for
community service is a vital indicator for recruiting. They desire students who strongly dedicate themselves to volunteer with something that coincides
with their interests or major. However, "mandatory volunteering" generates a belief that community service is a hindrance and a deliberate waste of
time towards obtaining a diploma. The embodiment of community service diminishes as these educational institutions continue to exercise their power
to regulate civic engagement. Thus, selective colleges are likely to identify and reject those who only fulfill the negative aspects of mandatory

My intent was simply to make sure she knew she needed an agreement with me, more than I did. I needed her to believe that reaching an agreement
with me was her best alternative. Obviously, our price targets were different and unmatchable. She needed to have $190,000 and I could not pay
more than $160,000. Just making propositions and trying to be flexible on additional things besides the price was not enough, because she thought
she needed the money immediately. At least, it was not enough until the seller knew she had no better alternative outside the one I was able to offer.
Also, I learned that although it may seem a lot better to maintain cordiality and an atmosphere of trust during the negotiation, at some point, when it
is not going anywhere, it might be better to adopt a stronger position. Mainly, it had to be used to show the other party that even if an agreement is
profitable for both parties, there is a point of no return, that it is time to really start looking for other solutions, more creative ones. After having
established my position over the seller, making new propositions was a lot easier. Also, she had realized that not reaching an agreement with me meant
that she could not pursue her life's dream, whereas reaching an agreement with me made it possible for even if it meant having to delay for a few

22. A Great Eulogy : My Experience To My Grandfather
Visiting my grandfather for the first time was very intimidating as a young child. He had poofy black hair and streaks of grey trailing through his
beard. He was so tall that he had to stoop his head when he walked through a door way, and he always had a smell of a dusty campfire but I could
never identify what it came from. As I continued to get to know him, I found that he wasn't as frightening as I was expecting. He would always
smile at me across the table when we had family dinners, and he would do this funny thing with his eyebrows that made them look like they were
bouncing off his eyelashes. He would tell me stories of when he used to a truck driver for rock bands on tour. One time, he was in Florida and he
made a night stop on the side of the road to sleep. Waking up in the middle of the night, he had to go pee really bad. When he climbed out of the
truck he stepped right on the head of a sleeping crocodile. He was so scared that he didn't have to go any further to pee. Despite how fun and kind
he turned out to be, there was still something suspicious about him. For the longest time I couldn't distinguish what the problems was but he would
always disappear at arbitrary times and when he came back he would smell even more like a campfire. I used to imagine that he was a top secret
super hero who would slip away when no one was looking to fight criminals and save people from burning buildings. I admired him and felt it my
duty to keep his secret identity safe.

23. What I Believe Sartre?
In this essay I will explain my personal opinion about what I believe Sartre means in his lecture, where he quotes "We are condemned to be free.",
"Man is nothing else but what he makes of himself. I will discuss in further details, what I believe he means when he speaks of freedom and its burden.
What does freedom mean for individuals and living an authentic life? Why might God be an obstacle to radical freedom and why I consider myself as
free as Sartre speaks of?
Sartre speaks of this freedom that we all humans have, he says that we are condemned to be free, we are meant to just do whatever we please. We
sometimes think we are doing the right thing, if it's well viewed and accepted by society. In some circumstances it doesn't work that way people
decide to do what they like even if is not accepted by society. People are free to do whatever they want, whether accepted by society or not and I
strongly believe, that is, where the conflict begins. We are all free to do or think a certain way. How can society tell you whether is right or
wrong? Is it just individuals trying to fit in, and do whatever society accepts or are they just doing what they really enjoy without needing to be
accepted by others. I think that everyone is lying to themselves because how can you tell right or wrong apart if you don't know either of. For
example same sex marriage is accepted by some and rejected by others, and both groups believe that they are right and they can well justify why, they

In this case study, first year third grade teacher, Maggie Lindberg, is having trouble controlling her class. The children are well–behaved during their

listen to anything that Maggie says. There's supposed to be a nature walk/field trip and Ms. Lindberg's class has yet to complete the task. I see so
many problems with this case study. First of all, I believe that Ms. Lindberg came into the school year sort of unprepared and thinking that because
it's the first year, it would be simple. Another problem I see with Ms. Lindberg is that she seems to have a low confidence level. And she's way too...

By being firm with the students, Ms. Lindberg will reduce the rudeness these kids are giving her. You can't be nice one minute and mean the next. Ms.
Lindberg needs to be firm all the time. Raising your voice only further frustrates the teacher. She has to be relaxed but at the same time mean business.
She cannot let her frustrations show. Ms. Lindberg needs to be sure to remain calm at all times. I think that if she feels her frustration showing, she
could use breathing techniques to help her relax and calm herself down. While using breathing techniques to relax and being as firm as possible,
Maggie should be able to be more confident that she has been in the past. I learned that as a first year teacher, I should be over prepared for the
best and the worst scenarios. Being under prepared is the worst thing you can do. I learned that before the first day of class, I have to have a plan
for managing my classroom well. While, yelling at my students may seem like the best way to get their attention it is not. I have to use a calm but
firm voice. I have to let them know that I am in charge. That means, I am the teacher and they are the students. I say what I mean and I mean what I

a church is going a certain way or if they wish to study the different effects that money, power, and cult is how our world and how people are run by
these. And to get these views out I have chosen a few chapters: chapters two and three, with the way one is to respond to idea of power, the end of
chapter five in worship and our cult, and lastly chapter seven with our responsibilities to the needy.
If one truly wants my opinion after this class it is this: what terrifies me is my own responsibilities to those that I will be shepherding. I have the
responsibility of telling them about these things that have the power to help or destroy the world around them. And to me, if this idea doesn't leave this
paper, in my understanding is that many church people are ignorant to what they need to do. We are already in a battle, between man and woman, young
generation and old generation, traditional and contemporary. That to bring up money, power, and cult, in the context of Amos, would be stepping on

27. Strategies For Independence
5 Big Steps Parents Can Take To Help Their Kids Gain More Independence For Preschool From social skills to language skills and all kinds of
problem–solving techniques, your little one is in for some big learning when they enter a preschool program, but they could face challenges if the
haven't acquired enough independence. Although it's your paternal instinct to take care of and control everything in their developing lives,
independence is what's going to help them succeed and excel, once they're on their own in the classroom. Here are five important steps you can take to
encourage more independence, in the most caring and supportive way: 1. Raise The Bar With Your Expectations Expecting more from your child

As hard as it is to just stand by and watch your child, whether they're succeeding or not, they need that space to learn, evolve and experiment, or else
they're always going to be looking for you to rescue them. Entering any preschool program, your child won't have the luxury of constant individual
attention, meaning they will have no choice but to sink or swim. Since you want them to swim, start giving them room to self–resolve issues now,
while they still have you as a safety–net. Before long, they'll understand that if they want some problems solved, they have to put on their thinking
caps, use patience and take matters into their own little hands. If it seems hard for you to cease the hoovering, just wait until you feel the total
exhilaration of watching your child accomplish something all on their own; it's such a breath–taking moment for parents, you'll automatically start
giving them more room to act independently in many instances. 3. Assign A Simple Job To Your Child You don't realize how much your child
depends on you for everything, until you ask them to do something on their own. They might look at you as if you're perfectly out of your mind or
they might even cry about the new task, but being a responsible, working member of a team in your house is going to go a long way toward helping
your child succeed in a busy classroom. Give them a simple job they must tend to daily, showering them with affection and praise when they accomplish

You may have no trouble arguing with your parents about curfew or fighting with your siblings about borrowing your stuff. But, fighting with friends
can be uncomfortable. These are the people you lean on for everything, and it's no fun when they are mad at you. The best way to deal with a fight
between friends is to talk it out. Then, find ways to make amends and help your friendship bounce back stronger than ever.
==Steps==
===Hearing Them Out===
#Ask your friends to meet up. Choose a place where you can talk uninterrupted. To keep tempers and voices down, it may be a good idea to meet in a
public place such as a coffee shop or restaurant. Let them know the reason you're asking them to meet.
#*For instance, you might say, "We really need to talk about what happened the other day. Can we get together tomorrow after class?"
#Give them a chance to share their feelings. It's unfair to try to jump straight into the resolution phase if your friends haven't said their piece. Grant
them the opportunity to vent their frustrations and explain what you did to make them so mad. Use this as a learning experience to help you sidestep

30. Everyday Use Symbolism Analysis
Most works of literature are full of symbolism. The symbolism they contain can vary from a character's personality and actions representing an idea to
an object representing an idea. The short story "Everyday Use" by Alice Walker makes great use of this symbolism. The primary struggle in this short
story takes place when the oldest daughter Dee returns home to her family's estate. A contrast between two vastly different approaches on tradition and
honoring one's heritage is shown immediately. This contrast is most evident over the items that are symbolic to a different time period. The primary
focal point of the short story "Everyday Use" is the clash of ideas on how to preserve one's culture. Mrs. Johnson has two daughters, Dee and Maggie.

"Quilts designed for everyday use, pieced wholes defying symmetry and pattern, are signs of the scarred generations of women who have always been
alien to a world of literate words and stylish fantasies" (Backer Jr. & Pierce–Baker 49). This quote perfectly describes why quilts are often used as
symbolism. Since they are pieced together and mended over many generations, quilts are able to stand as a symbol for each generation that has worked
on the quilt. Dee desires the quilts because it shows the craftsmanship of her ancestors, however, Dee wants only to display the quilts and not to use
it. This is in severe opposition to Maggie who has already been promised the quilts. Dee replies "'Maggie can't appreciate these quilts!' she said.
"'She'd probably be backward enough to put them to everyday use'" (Walker 490). Mama sees no problem in this and even explains that she is tired
of keeping them since no one has been using them. Eventually, Maggie caves and says that she can remember her grandma without the quilts. This
fills Mama with joy and she decides to give Maggie the quilts she promised and she told Dee to grab a different quilt. Dee was angry and stormed off

amounts of advice. This was a known for me and it was born out of a need to do things right without error, and trying to make sure that I do not

go to the Augusta school after her mother raised the money, whereas Maggie has very little education. Their personalities are a world apart. Dee is
outgoing, spunky, and not afraid to say what she is thinking. Maggie is shy and jealous of her sister, but she has a generous heart. All though the

At the beginning of the book, Eleanor also had few or no friends. At the end of the book, Eleanor was glad because she felt that she had found
those friends by coming to Hill House. Eleanor was similar in some ways at the end of the book to what she was like in the beginning. At the
beginning of the book, she didn't particularly like where she lived, having to care for her mother, and hardly getting to leave her house. At the end
of the book, Eleanor still didn't want to leave Hill House to go back to where she lived, because she felt that she had no restraints at Hill House,
and was free do what she liked. She wanted to stay at Hill House even if supernatural events happened there, because it wasn't like her old home.
Eleanor went through many changes at Hill House, including believing that Hill House was her home, and becoming a more outgoing person finding
new friends. I believe Eleanor went through these drastic changes to try and alter who she was. I think she might have tried to do this to leave her
old, uneventful life for a life of mystery and excitement at Hill House. Eleanor's experiences and changes throughout the story might apply to

After reading the transcript of the speech, "The Spirit of Liberty", given by federal judge for more than 50 years, Learned Hand, who served most
of the time on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York, my idea of what it means to be an American was slightly shifted. The
statement made by Hand which really caught my attention was, "What do we mean when we say that first of all we seek liberty? I often wonder
whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws and upon courts. These are false hopes." I agree with Hand in the sense
that the constitution can only serve purpose to our country if we, as Americans, learn to be truly accepting. To be an American, means to me, that
you are accepting of the differences around you; however, we as Americans are not very good at accepting those who do not agree with us. In an
article,a publisher for NBC News, quoted a leading crimes researcher who stated, "hate crimes in nine U.S. metropolitan areas rose more than 20
percent last year, fueled by inflamed passions during the presidential campaign and more willingness for victims to step forward." Many believe
being an American means you have freedom, but what freedom? Freedom of speech? Freedom of Religion? The other "freedoms" stated in the Bill
