The Hellenistic Homemaker Essay
The Hellenistic Homemaker
In both Xenophon's Oeconomicus and Lysias' defense of Euphiletus' murder of Eratosthenes, insight
into the purpose and function of Athenian marriage may be gained by examination of the speeches
of two citizens about their wives and their homes. Through both texts, it becomes apparent that the
citizen's value of his wife is based upon his wife's ability as an "oikonomikos" or "skilled household
manager" (Strauss, 3). It is through filling this role as her husband's housekeeper that an Athenian
woman experienced a loss of personal freedom and found herself trapped within a marriage in
which she had little contact or much in common with her husband. A woman's role as oikonomikos
is described by Euphiletus' address ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Rather, when I considered for myself, and your parents for you, whom we might take as the best
partner for the household and children, I chose you, and your parents, as it appears, from among the
possibilities chose me" (Xenophon, VII.10–11). Indeed, the girl is looked upon as an employee of
the husband and the oikos. Euphiletus states how "...in the beginning she was the best of women.
She was a clever housewife, economical and exact in her management of everything" (Freeman,
44). For Euphiletus, his wife's worth was based totally on her managerial skills.
Through Euphiletus and Socrates, the five requirements of a good oikonomikos come to be
apparent. The first requirement is that a new wife be young, so that she might be taught by her new
husband the ways to suit himself and his oikos perfectly. Socrates muses, "...it seems to me there are
certain ages at which both horses and human beings are immediately useful as well as susceptible to
improvement" (Xenophon, III.10). Next, the young wife must be uneducated so that she might be
trained in just the way the husband wishes, and he will not suffer because of any incorrect training
she may have acquired. Socrates is asked by Ischomachos " 'How, Socrates,' he said, 'could she have

English Vinglish
ENGLISH VINGLISH (2012)
Plot
English Vinglish is an Indian comedy drama film that revolves around Shashi (Sridevi), a
homemaker, a wife and a mother of two children. Sashi Godbole, apart from managing her
household which she regards as her first priority, runs a small business of selling ladoos. Her
assiduous work in her home is taken for granted by her husband Satish and daughter Sapna.
Satish is a charming man but not so charming when he discredits her wife's ladoo business and asks
her to close it down. However, what saddens her the most is her incapacity to speak English which
is often ridiculed by both her husband and daughter.

Not so much. Gauri Shindey's movie is definitely an eye–opener as far as persistence of gender roles
and linguistic hegemony is concerned. It may also lead you to think that it "smashes patriarchal
norms". But does it? Motherhood is still considered a central tenet of female identity. This becomes
starkly evident when Sashi's son gets hurt and she fails to attend him immediately because of her
English class. She cries frantically as if she has committed a crime, feels guilty that how she can
neglect her family and think about herself. She declares that her priority in life is her responsibility
towards her family and not her own happiness. Sashi's choice of coming back with her husband can
evoke multiple interpretations.
We might wonder whether this decision is prompted by her respect towards Indian values and roots
or it is the patriarchal ideology that she has internalized all through her life which makes her
compromise with her own desires and priorities.
English being the lingua franca in India has established itself so firmly that even in the movie
Sashi attains a sense of pride and worth after she delivers the moving speech in English at her

Gendered Home in the Short Stories of Shashi Deshpande
Home is a geographical space –– a site where we live but it is also 'an ideal and an imaginary that is
imbued with feelings'1 .Somerville(1992) has picked out seven key aspects of being at home:
shelter, hearth,(emotional and physical well–being),heart(loving and caring relations), privacy,
roots(source of identity and meaning, fullness),abode and paradise(ideal home as distinct from
everyday life)2.Down the ages, we have associated 'home' as a haven, far away from the hostility
and surveillance of the outside world. It is in the privacy of home that an individual gives expression
to his ideas. The domestic items from curtains and furniture to books and records all contribute to
the development of an individual. In all its details, a home ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

As women grow up, they are encouraged to build a wall around them to keep themselves away from
the scary outsiders, resulting in the gradual internalization of fear which ultimately leaves them
defenseless and less–confident of themselves. Marriage is that desired aim in a woman's life when
finally they would no longer need to live inside that 'invisible wall': in reality, one sort of
circumscribed life leads to a different kind of dependence. In Deshpande's It Was Dark, a woman is
reminded of how submission to a man's wishes makes life a lot less difficult: 'I had submitted and
miraculously, it had made things easier.'7 She, however, decides to let her daughter live inside the
walls but only to find her child sexually abused. This does not startle her as she grew up with the
constant fear of violence that now stalks her daughter's life. In a male–dominated society manly
violence has been as 'normal' as 'womanly' submission. If men grow up learning to be violent in his
actions, women also learn to cope up with the one singular piece of lesson: 'you must submit.'8
Submission is key to safety and peace in a gendered home which has different codes of behavior for
both male and female. Refusal to toe the gender– line could be always violent as the newly wedded
woman learns at her cost on the honeymoon trip in Deshpande's story The Intrusion.

The Period Of The Antebellum South
The period of the antebellum south was among the most burdensome times for African American
slaves, especially females. During the early 1800s the lives of enslaved women were extremely
demanding. The female slaves were expected to bear children, as well as were required to work just
as hard as the male slaves on the plantation. Days were long and laborious for slave mothers, they
had to make sure that all the work that needed to be done was completed, and also care for their
children. Female slaves' jobs varied from housework, to field work. Slave mothers knew that giving
up on their work was not an option, they had to persevere for their families. Motherhood and work
went hand in hand for female slaves, one was not able to do one and not the other. Field labor was
an unavoidable task that was fulfilled by nearly all slaves in the antebellum south. There was no
gender discrimination in the fields, female slaves had to perform almost all of the plantation chores.
Some of the chores female slaves were obligated to complete were picking, hoeing, plowing,
mending fences, burning fields, weeding, planting, and harvesting. The work day was long and
grueling, slaves worked from sunrise to the sunset. Working the fields was a strenuous job, however
it was not done alone. They acquired the opportunity to work beside other female slaves. The groups
of female slaves in the fields were called gangs. The gangs often sang, talked quietly, and passed
along confidential information.

The Little Chinese Seamstress Character Analysis
Of course not everybody in the world likes to talk about exactly what they are feeling or thinking all
the time. There is a certain degree of things that generally are kept private. However, in the book
The Little Chinese Seamstress by Dai Sijie, the main character (who doesn't ever reveal his name to
the audience, so is simply called the Narrator), comes off as an especially closed–off character–
specifically in the beginning half of the story. He rarely ever speaks what he is actually thinking,
which makes him a kind of difficult character to relate to. The Little Seamstress, a local beauty, has
caught his eye–along with every other male in the village–, but he struggles with how to express his
feelings because he is not used to doing so, and because his best friend (Luo) is dating her. On pages
161–163, Luo has left the village and asked the Narrator to keep an eye on the Little Seamstress
while he is away. However, even though the Narrator keeps his word, he can't help but feel attracted
to her and an inner battle between what he wants and what is right begins. In this part of the story,
the Narrator feels torn between his love and affection towards the Little Seamstress and his
commitment/promise to Luo. Here, the Narrator finally portrays to what extent he feels towards her,
but does so very subtly (which is fitting seeing as that's who he is a character: altogether reserved).
With the job that the Narrator has been tasked with, he is certainly not neglecting his

As previously mentioned, Renzetti and Curran, make several claims about the kind of gendered
messages that we as a society receive via our favorite television shows. I selected three other claims
to see whether or not they held true for "Malcolm in the Middle." The first claim is that "female
characters are more likely than men to use sex or romantic charm to get what they want. Men, in
contrast, are more likely than women to use physical force." I recorded each instance of use or threat
of physical force and whether it was a man or woman who did so. Each instance of sex or romantic
charm was also recorded according to which sex used that technique. Another claim was "only 28%
of women are shown on the job compared to 41% of male characters." I kept a tally of characters
that were shown on the job or made any reference to their jobs. The last claim I chose to analyze
was that men on television are rarely shown doing housework (one to three percent compared to
twenty to twenty–seven percent of women). I kept a tally of each instance that a household chore
was done and whether it was a man or woman who took care of the task. The first claim that I
analyzed was that women are more likely to use charm and men are more likely to use physical

Should Housewives Get Paid?

at home mothers work every day; they work more hours than the working people. They have so
many chores to do like cleaning, cooking, and many other hard chores. The work that they do is
magnificent and remarkable. Other people will argue that is not necessary to give money to
housewives because it is their reasonability for taking care of their children and the house. However,
housewives should get paid because they are doing a hard job and they deserve it. One main reason
for this argument is housewives deserve to be paid because of all the hard work that they do. Stay at
home mothers work from the morning until late at night. The article "Should stay–at–home moms
receive a salary?"(2013) the author claims that housewives should receive salary because they are
hardworking people. Housewives do not have personal leisure time because the house needs to be
cleaned, meals have to be cooked, and this all leaves the mother no time for her own personal space.

The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin
Feminism is played out in a major way in Kate Chopins' "The Story of an Hour." The story portrays
a story about the lack of freedom that all woman had in the 1800's. The word feminism as defined in
the Merriam–Webster Dictionary as the theory of the political, economic and social equality of the
sexes. A woman's job and duty in the 1800's was to tend to the needs of their husband's needs. In
"The Story of an Hour" Mrs. Mallard, one of the main characters, was told about her husband's
death and she was initially very emotional. Her sadness was quickly turned into a burst of joy
because she felt a sense of freedom. The story takes a very weird and ironic twist because her
husband was really not dead and when Mrs. Mallard finds out about this she regretted abandoning
her moment of freedom. If we were looking at this story through the historical and feminist lenses
one would suggest that this story is about a male dominated society in the 1800s. This male
dominated society caused the woman to have a lack of freedom and really made it hard for woman
to have a self–identity. Males were the dominant gender during the 1800s. Woman had absolutely no
rights and the reality was that feminism did not exist. One of the things that was really frowned
upon in the 1800s were divorces. In fact if there was a divorce, everything would be given to the
male. In the Declaration of Sentiments, Stanton enumerated specific complaints concerning the
oppressed status of women in American society:

Analysis Of Svava Jakobsdottir 's A Story For Children
Through the eyes of society everyone has a set role they are expected to fulfill and certain
characteristics they are supposed to exemplify. These roles and characteristics, this discourse, tells
everyone how they should act and speak. For women it is the role of the mother. In our culture, that
means raising the children, completing the household chores, and cooking all of the meals to
perfection. Women are typical thought of as being demure and polite, small in stature, and
submissive to the male gender. In the reverse, men also have certain roles that they are expected to
fill and characteristics they are supposed to exemplify. Men are expected to be strong, dominant,
and in charge of their families. They are often depicted, both in the media and in life, as the leaders.
This discourse that we all follow can frequently be seen in Svava Jakobsdottir's "A Story for
Children." The short story tells the tale of a woman as she raises her children and takes care of her
household. The mother is completely devoted to her children and seeks to fulfill her role in the
home to the fullest extent. As the story progresses, the main character slowly has pieces of herself
removed by her children: her toe, her brain, and finally her heart. At the end of the text, after all of
the children have become adults started families of their own, the mother realizes that she now has
nothing and feels useless. In her short story, Jakobsdottir uses dramatization to depict the gender
stereotypes and

The Role Of Traditional Household Gender Roles
"Gender relations are not confined to the domestic arena – although households constitute an
important institutional site on which gender relations are played out – but are made, remade and
contested in a range of institutional arenas"(Changing Gender Relations In The Household). In
parallel to this statement, women and men have always had their own perceive norm within the
household. Women are traditionally homemakers and men assume the sole status of breadwinner.
However, in modern day society men are becoming more open to the idea of gender equality in
regards to family roles. Mothers and society are socializing individuals with this norm. Currently,
there is a gradual transition from a male dominant society to gender equality. This paper will look at
the impact of traditional household gender roles by analyzing the following questions:
1. Why is there a gender shift in household gender roles?
2. What is the impact of balancing work and a family?
3. What are the benefits for the family?
4. Is gender equality within a family positively affecting society?
By understanding how this change has come about, predictions can be made to determine how this
will impact the future, to see if this will change situations outside of the home that are gender
sensitive, and to see if this will give a people a broader perspective to work with.

has always been outlets such as, writing, filmmaking, psychology, and advertising that regurgitate
the consent idea that men and women are very different when developing there narratives (Sheehan,

are used to now. The male figure was labeled as the breadwinner of the family, while the women
were simply the homemakers. Advertising has always stuck to the traditional roles of women as the
housewife or homemaker, industries use this imagery to help promote different types of household
products and appliances. June Cleaver from the popular television series Leave it to Beaver;was an

20th Century Feminism
In the last half of the twentieth century, women fought a desperate struggle against society and
public policy to work outside of the home for money. For decades women fought for equality and
struggled for the right of equal opportunity employment. Societal norms and values defined a
woman's role and that was to run the household. However, the closer the end of the twentieth
century came, the more economic conditions required two incomes household for families to
subsist. From 1940–1960 the number of working mothers increased 400 percent and by 1960 one–
third of all female workers had children below the age of eighteen.
Under pressure because of the staggering statistics, in 1961 President Kennedy appointed a
Presidential Commission on the Status of Women to study opportunities and barriers for women in
American society (Organizing Their Lives: Women, Work, and Family, 1950–2000). It initiated the
feminist movement of the 1960's and 1970's. Women were already working, but were hostages to
society's expectations. The following was the general consensus of many women of the last half of
the twentieth century; "Personal is highly political; our individual freedom in organizing our
households, our families, our work lives, our sex lives, and our reproductive lives is profoundly
shaped by the nation's public policies" (Organizing Their Lives: Women, Work, and Family, 1950–
2000).

The Movement Of The Jewish Culture
Furthermore, by using the 'feminist' interpretation within this passage, Jesus didn't want to discard
tradition but wants to reform the freedom of woman from the restrictions and limitations of the rules
and regulations of the Jewish culture and the tradition by bringing more equality in society.
Women's lives in Jesus' time were overruled and dominated by a male figure , who were to control
every aspect in their lives. This was due to the fact that women were seen to be unholy – more
inclined to being sinful, and were submissive; hence one of Jesus' missions became to reform the
image of women. Hence by using the 'feminist' interpretation method, I can conclude that Jesus
intentions of preaching to Mary, was for him to reform the Jewish culture, by spreading hope and
strength among women – standing up for a new culture and a generation which will create a new
and equal society.
Therefore, by using the 'feminist' interpretation within this passage, we can conclude that in Jesus'
time, Jesus was a strong advocate to reforming society and allowing women to become equals to
men, as God has created us all in the image and likeness of himself, hence why all humans are
precious and a gift because God is precious and a gift. Jesus said "Mary has chosen the better path",

Comparing Women In Daystar By Rita Dove And Linda Pastan
There is a drastic contrast between the lives of women from the 50s, 60s and perhaps the 70s to the
lives of women today. In the 1950/60s the wife would be responsible for cleaning the home, hanging
the wash on the line to sun–dry, sew clothes, bake and be the caretaker of the children. This was her
role in society and her household. Today, the wife may work part or full time, juggle children to
childcare, school and sports activities, all the while trying to maintain a household. For the most
part, gone are the days when the wife was considered an item within the household and women have
now earned their marks in society. Some would question if women have actually made things harder
for themselves and have taken away some of the joys of a simpler life. The poems of Rita Dove and
Linda Pastan shed a light on the less talked about side of being a housewife throughout the second
half of the 1900s. Things were not as pleasant and simple as one may believe.
Rita Dove's "Daystar" speaks of a woman's daily routine as a housewife. On a deeper level, this
poem speaks to the need experienced by this housewife to have something of her very own.
Throughout the day, she is a maid and caretaker; at night she fulfills her wifely duties. Everything
has become mundane, even down to her lovemaking with her husband evidenced through her
statement "Thomas rolled over and lurched into her." The speaker is trapped behind the needs of her

Gender Roles In 20th Century Advertising
"keep her where she belongs" or "So, the harder the wife works the cuter she looks!" the truth is that
ads like these were very common in the mid–20th century. Many companies used the existing
gender roles to appeal to consumers, sex sells and so does gender. The 20th century was the rise of
gender advertisement. Since the 20th century was the era of consumerism, it's natural to think
advertisement played a huge role in the popular culture and had a huge influence on how people
viewed the world. The belief that women are domestic creatures who always must be obedient to the
male figures of their lives was never a new concept in the 20th century. What was new in this era of
mass consumption was utilizing gender roles as a marketing technique to make a certain product
more desirable for the American Society. During the 20th century, American popular culture,
specifically advertising, reinforced the existing gender roles for women as the homemaker,
furthermore, creating a constraint on the socially acceptable roles for women which stayed prevalent
for many years.
Advertisement in the mid–20th century, often depicted women as only homemakers and nothing
more. Women were viewed as a trophy, they had to maintain their look, do all the housework, and

Post Completion Of Section Two Of Women And Work

  • 1. Post Completion Of Section Two Of Women And Work Post completion of section two of Women and Work in Canada readings, I started preparing for my interview with a woman of my choosing. I decided to interview my aunt Ms. Ms. Murphy Murphy. She is wife, a mother of two boys, and an educator to young adolescents. Using the outline questions that assignment two provided, I was able to complete an interview with Ms. Murphy and have the following conversation about her paid and unpaid work. I took notes throughout the interview and listened attentively. Comparing her paid and unpaid work, to the women in the assigned readings for section two was comparetivlity, some situations were the same.

Teaching French from 1982– 1983, and then substituting 1983–1985 at a local Junior High school, which ultimately lead to her getting a full time position as a teacher at M.E Callaghan Jr. High.

  • 2. The Hellenistic Homemaker Essay The Hellenistic Homemaker In both Xenophon's Oeconomicus and Lysias' defense of Euphiletus' murder of Eratosthenes, insight into the purpose and function of Athenian marriage may be gained by examination of the speeches of two citizens about their wives and their homes. Through both texts, it becomes apparent that the citizen's value of his wife is based upon his wife's ability as an "oikonomikos" or "skilled household manager" (Strauss, 3). It is through filling this role as her husband's housekeeper that an Athenian woman experienced a loss of personal freedom and found herself trapped within a marriage in which she had little contact or much in common with her husband. A woman's role as oikonomikos is described by Euphiletus' address ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Rather, when I considered for myself, and your parents for you, whom we might take as the best partner for the household and children, I chose you, and your parents, as it appears, from among the possibilities chose me" (Xenophon, VII.10–11). Indeed, the girl is looked upon as an employee of the husband and the oikos. Euphiletus states how "...in the beginning she was the best of women. She was a clever housewife, economical and exact in her management of everything" (Freeman, 44). For Euphiletus, his wife's worth was based totally on her managerial skills. Through Euphiletus and Socrates, the five requirements of a good oikonomikos come to be apparent. The first requirement is that a new wife be young, so that she might be taught by her new husband the ways to suit himself and his oikos perfectly. Socrates muses, "...it seems to me there are certain ages at which both horses and human beings are immediately useful as well as susceptible to improvement" (Xenophon, III.10). Next, the young wife must be uneducated so that she might be trained in just the way the husband wishes, and he will not suffer because of any incorrect training she may have acquired. Socrates is asked by Ischomachos " 'How, Socrates,' he said, 'could she have known anything when I took her, since she came to me when she was not yet fifteen, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. English Vinglish ENGLISH VINGLISH (2012) Plot English Vinglish is an Indian comedy drama film that revolves around Shashi (Sridevi), a homemaker, a wife and a mother of two children. Sashi Godbole, apart from managing her household which she regards as her first priority, runs a small business of selling ladoos. Her assiduous work in her home is taken for granted by her husband Satish and daughter Sapna. Satish is a charming man but not so charming when he discredits her wife's ladoo business and asks her to close it down. However, what saddens her the most is her incapacity to speak English which is often ridiculed by both her husband and daughter. Sashi, juggling between her insecurity as an individual and homemaker, is soon faced by the challenge of traveling ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Not so much. Gauri Shindey's movie is definitely an eye–opener as far as persistence of gender roles and linguistic hegemony is concerned. It may also lead you to think that it "smashes patriarchal norms". But does it? Motherhood is still considered a central tenet of female identity. This becomes starkly evident when Sashi's son gets hurt and she fails to attend him immediately because of her English class. She cries frantically as if she has committed a crime, feels guilty that how she can neglect her family and think about herself. She declares that her priority in life is her responsibility towards her family and not her own happiness. Sashi's choice of coming back with her husband can evoke multiple interpretations. We might wonder whether this decision is prompted by her respect towards Indian values and roots or it is the patriarchal ideology that she has internalized all through her life which makes her compromise with her own desires and priorities. English being the lingua franca in India has established itself so firmly that even in the movie Sashi attains a sense of pride and worth after she delivers the moving speech in English at her niece's wedding for which she got a distinction by her teacher. However, India's ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Gendered Home in the Short Stories of Shashi Deshpande Home is a geographical space –– a site where we live but it is also 'an ideal and an imaginary that is imbued with feelings'1 .Somerville(1992) has picked out seven key aspects of being at home: shelter, hearth,(emotional and physical well–being),heart(loving and caring relations), privacy, roots(source of identity and meaning, fullness),abode and paradise(ideal home as distinct from everyday life)2.Down the ages, we have associated 'home' as a haven, far away from the hostility and surveillance of the outside world. It is in the privacy of home that an individual gives expression to his ideas. The domestic items from curtains and furniture to books and records all contribute to the development of an individual. In all its details, a home ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... As women grow up, they are encouraged to build a wall around them to keep themselves away from the scary outsiders, resulting in the gradual internalization of fear which ultimately leaves them defenseless and less–confident of themselves. Marriage is that desired aim in a woman's life when finally they would no longer need to live inside that 'invisible wall': in reality, one sort of circumscribed life leads to a different kind of dependence. In Deshpande's It Was Dark, a woman is reminded of how submission to a man's wishes makes life a lot less difficult: 'I had submitted and miraculously, it had made things easier.'7 She, however, decides to let her daughter live inside the walls but only to find her child sexually abused. This does not startle her as she grew up with the constant fear of violence that now stalks her daughter's life. In a male–dominated society manly violence has been as 'normal' as 'womanly' submission. If men grow up learning to be violent in his actions, women also learn to cope up with the one singular piece of lesson: 'you must submit.'8 Submission is key to safety and peace in a gendered home which has different codes of behavior for both male and female. Refusal to toe the gender– line could be always violent as the newly wedded woman learns at her cost on the honeymoon trip in Deshpande's story The Intrusion. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 5. The Period Of The Antebellum South The period of the antebellum south was among the most burdensome times for African American slaves, especially females. During the early 1800s the lives of enslaved women were extremely demanding. The female slaves were expected to bear children, as well as were required to work just as hard as the male slaves on the plantation. Days were long and laborious for slave mothers, they had to make sure that all the work that needed to be done was completed, and also care for their children. Female slaves' jobs varied from housework, to field work. Slave mothers knew that giving up on their work was not an option, they had to persevere for their families. Motherhood and work went hand in hand for female slaves, one was not able to do one and not the other. Field labor was an unavoidable task that was fulfilled by nearly all slaves in the antebellum south. There was no gender discrimination in the fields, female slaves had to perform almost all of the plantation chores. Some of the chores female slaves were obligated to complete were picking, hoeing, plowing, mending fences, burning fields, weeding, planting, and harvesting. The work day was long and grueling, slaves worked from sunrise to the sunset. Working the fields was a strenuous job, however it was not done alone. They acquired the opportunity to work beside other female slaves. The groups of female slaves in the fields were called gangs. The gangs often sang, talked quietly, and passed along confidential information. ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 6. The Little Chinese Seamstress Character Analysis Of course not everybody in the world likes to talk about exactly what they are feeling or thinking all the time. There is a certain degree of things that generally are kept private. However, in the book The Little Chinese Seamstress by Dai Sijie, the main character (who doesn't ever reveal his name to the audience, so is simply called the Narrator), comes off as an especially closed–off character– specifically in the beginning half of the story. He rarely ever speaks what he is actually thinking, which makes him a kind of difficult character to relate to. The Little Seamstress, a local beauty, has caught his eye–along with every other male in the village–, but he struggles with how to express his feelings because he is not used to doing so, and because his best friend (Luo) is dating her. On pages 161–163, Luo has left the village and asked the Narrator to keep an eye on the Little Seamstress while he is away. However, even though the Narrator keeps his word, he can't help but feel attracted to her and an inner battle between what he wants and what is right begins. In this part of the story, the Narrator feels torn between his love and affection towards the Little Seamstress and his commitment/promise to Luo. Here, the Narrator finally portrays to what extent he feels towards her, but does so very subtly (which is fitting seeing as that's who he is a character: altogether reserved). With the job that the Narrator has been tasked with, he is certainly not neglecting his ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 7. Gender Differences in TV Malcolm in the Middle Television holds an important part in most of our lives. From a young age, we spend countless hours sitting in front of a television set. Every year there are new shows created, and our favorite shows are renewed for another season. There are numerous programs to choose from. Television broadcasts are free, and there are also paid options for more diverse programming. We are fortunate enough to be able to spend on average a third of our leisure time watching television all from the comfort of our homes. Given the incredible reach that television has on our lives, we can say that television has a significant impact on our lives. Authors, Renzetti and Curran, claim that television is a profound socializing ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... As previously mentioned, Renzetti and Curran, make several claims about the kind of gendered messages that we as a society receive via our favorite television shows. I selected three other claims to see whether or not they held true for "Malcolm in the Middle." The first claim is that "female characters are more likely than men to use sex or romantic charm to get what they want. Men, in contrast, are more likely than women to use physical force." I recorded each instance of use or threat of physical force and whether it was a man or woman who did so. Each instance of sex or romantic charm was also recorded according to which sex used that technique. Another claim was "only 28% of women are shown on the job compared to 41% of male characters." I kept a tally of characters that were shown on the job or made any reference to their jobs. The last claim I chose to analyze was that men on television are rarely shown doing housework (one to three percent compared to twenty to twenty–seven percent of women). I kept a tally of each instance that a household chore was done and whether it was a man or woman who took care of the task. The first claim that I analyzed was that women are more likely to use charm and men are more likely to use physical force held true according to my sample. There were three instances of using charm. Hal, the father, did so once. Lois, the mother, did so the other two times. The second ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 8. Should Housewives Get Paid? Should Housewives Get Paid? Housewives is one the hardest and difficult jobs in the world. Staying at home mothers work every day; they work more hours than the working people. They have so many chores to do like cleaning, cooking, and many other hard chores. The work that they do is magnificent and remarkable. Other people will argue that is not necessary to give money to housewives because it is their reasonability for taking care of their children and the house. However, housewives should get paid because they are doing a hard job and they deserve it. One main reason for this argument is housewives deserve to be paid because of all the hard work that they do. Stay at home mothers work from the morning until late at night. The article "Should stay–at–home moms receive a salary?"(2013) the author claims that housewives should receive salary because they are hardworking people. Housewives do not have personal leisure time because the house needs to be cleaned, meals have to be cooked, and this all leaves the mother no time for her own personal space. Teachers who teach children for 7 hours are getting paid; nannies that take care of the children for limited time are getting paid, maids who ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Rao (2013) writes in his article "Should housewives be paid salaries?" that staying at home mothers must not receive salary because the responsibility of the chores that they do is private. It may be true that housewives must not get paid for their services. However, people should realize that housewives are doing a job, personal or not there is labor involved. Likewise, it is important to remember that housewives are working every day, and every hour without any breaks that they can relax.

  • 9. The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin Feminism is played out in a major way in Kate Chopins' "The Story of an Hour." The story portrays a story about the lack of freedom that all woman had in the 1800's. The word feminism as defined in the Merriam–Webster Dictionary as the theory of the political, economic and social equality of the sexes. A woman's job and duty in the 1800's was to tend to the needs of their husband's needs. In "The Story of an Hour" Mrs. Mallard, one of the main characters, was told about her husband's death and she was initially very emotional. Her sadness was quickly turned into a burst of joy because she felt a sense of freedom. The story takes a very weird and ironic twist because her husband was really not dead and when Mrs. Mallard finds out about this she regretted abandoning her moment of freedom. If we were looking at this story through the historical and feminist lenses one would suggest that this story is about a male dominated society in the 1800s. This male dominated society caused the woman to have a lack of freedom and really made it hard for woman to have a self–identity. Males were the dominant gender during the 1800s. Woman had absolutely no rights and the reality was that feminism did not exist. One of the things that was really frowned upon in the 1800s were divorces. In fact if there was a divorce, everything would be given to the male. In the Declaration of Sentiments, Stanton enumerated specific complaints concerning the oppressed status of women in American society: ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 10. Analysis Of Svava Jakobsdottir 's A Story For Children Through the eyes of society everyone has a set role they are expected to fulfill and certain characteristics they are supposed to exemplify. These roles and characteristics, this discourse, tells everyone how they should act and speak. For women it is the role of the mother. In our culture, that means raising the children, completing the household chores, and cooking all of the meals to perfection. Women are typical thought of as being demure and polite, small in stature, and submissive to the male gender. In the reverse, men also have certain roles that they are expected to fill and characteristics they are supposed to exemplify. Men are expected to be strong, dominant, and in charge of their families. They are often depicted, both in the media and in life, as the leaders. This discourse that we all follow can frequently be seen in Svava Jakobsdottir's "A Story for Children." The short story tells the tale of a woman as she raises her children and takes care of her household. The mother is completely devoted to her children and seeks to fulfill her role in the home to the fullest extent. As the story progresses, the main character slowly has pieces of herself removed by her children: her toe, her brain, and finally her heart. At the end of the text, after all of the children have become adults started families of their own, the mother realizes that she now has nothing and feels useless. In her short story, Jakobsdottir uses dramatization to depict the gender stereotypes and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Frank had ancestors who moved to the United States from Germany more than 100 years ago that kept a journal that has been with his family ever since it was recorded. He told me that a long time ago, George and Jean, both residents of Germany, fell in love and got married to each other.

For the most part, gone are the days when the wife was considered an item within the household and women have now earned their marks in society. Some would question if women have actually made things harder for themselves and have taken away some of the joys of a simpler life.

She pushed the tiny curtain to peek out of the small window next to the door, to see who it was and found a well–dressed man who seemed as if he was here to sell something to her. She unlocked her door and opened it, seeming hesitant and giving him an unpleasant gaze, showing she wasn't interested in what he was selling, "May I help you?"

Without hesitation, Rudy broke off a limb much larger than her lanky self. Struggling to drag the limb to the river, she found enough strength to sling it into the treacherous waters and keep a hold as her long tail wrapped around for a tight grip.

Later that night, the whole town gathered to celebrate Rudy, the town hero. "Why is everyone praising me?' Rudy asked, "I am not attractive and graceful like Geraldine?' She admitted. "Do you not see Rudy, beauty is only skin deep." Replied a friend. At that moment Rudy understood. Her heart of gold shone through and was much more attractive than any outward beauty.

The French couple holds a dominant position in the household and does not allow Diouana to voice her opinion.
