English 1101 – 21169 25 August 2015 An Explanation on Carrying a Gun: A Woman’s Perspective I think the author (Linda M. Hasselstrom) did an excellent job in thoroughly explaining her reason behind owning and carrying a firearm. She carries it to feel safe; to feel protected. As she states many times, she spent much of her time alone on her ranch or in her car. Being a woman who is alone constantly makes you especially vulnerable to attackers and predators. When you’re outsized -- and sometimes outnumbered -- a firearm may be your only chance for survival.
Observant and wise, my mom always said Olga and I had a special connection. Whether it was playing in the backyard or trying to block out her noisy snoring during the night, she was unlike anything else. But as days went on, guilt built up. Our whole family didn’t like to see Olga’s sad, neglected face when we drove away to go on with our daily routines.

Lost Dreams: The Glass Castle One of the most important things that parents provide for their children is a stable background: a roof to sleep under, regular meals, and a sense of security. In fact, some turn to a faulty upbringing in order to explain violence, crime, drug abuse or general bad behavior in adult life. However, Jeannette Walls grew up with an alcoholic father and a shiftless mother, neither of whom provided for or protected their children. She was raised in a household where sufficient food was a rarity, traveling around from small town to small town, often living in conditions that to most would be unbearable; yet as an adult, she created a life for herself that she deems comfortable and stable. The Glass Castle is a stirring account of Walls’s childhood, her relationships with her family, and her ability to overcome all the hardships she was faced with.
That was a key indicator to me that they had something between them other than the looks and giggles. On their way home they are talking about going sledding, since Mattie had never done it before.

Zeena comes to the door, and you can tell she is highly suspicious of the two, but she is only worried about herself and needs Ethan’s money for her doctor

This quote is important because it shows that people were a little disapproving of David’s left-handedness because it was odd or unusual. So people would be disapproving of a deviation. Women are often treated like they are less then the men and its there fault the blasphemies are created. Women don’t get to do much other then work in the home, they are not permitted to go out in to the fields and they have to stay home and do housework. When Aunt Harriet was talking to David’s mom about her deviated child said “this is the third time, they’ll take my baby
Since we live in a patriarchal society, and have since the beginning of time, women are more known for supporting the male in whatever his role is, and staying behind the scene. Women in the drug game were almost nonexistent as men felt that women were not strong or wise enough to handle such dangerous and demanding situations. This however, is not the case in either Dorm Room Dealers or Cocaine Kids. While there weren’t many women in the forefront selling drugs, Kitty, Cecelia, and Stopper certainly defied the norm as female drug dealers. Kitty, however, fit more so in the background as her role was not as instrumental in the actual scheme of selling drugs.
This signifies that violence is the root of fear that results in women to conform to their traditional roles, as they fear the consequences of disobedience. Thus, allowing males to sustain inequality. Additionally, in the novel, women have no violence in their utopian society; there is only peace and love that creates a harmonious sisterhood. The lack of jealousy and fights induces Terry to become irritated with this society. As well as, Alima’s lack of interest within him results in more frustration that leads him to “hide himself under her bed one night… [and there] was the noise of a tremendous struggle” (132 Gilliam).
We agreed to complete one session of hypnotherapy which would last up to 2 hours, in total, using the guidelines taught to me by my tutor.

She gave me a lift in her car and was surprised that, for the first time, she did not feel the urge to light up her cigarette, on entering her car. Initial Consultation DE lives at home with her husband, HE, and has 4 grown up daughters, who have all left home. She also has 4 grandchildren, aged 6,5,3 and 1 years.
Summary of “Ban The Things. Ban Them All.” In the essay, “Ban The Things. Ban Them All,” written by Molly Ivins, she expresses concern about society’s ownership of guns, and how they have grown to be used more of a weapon for show, than for protection. Ivins also argues that the argument of “guns don’t kill people,” doesn’t exist, because she believes that they do, and that that may be all they ever do. Ivins states that she supports the Second Amendment: “A well–regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of people to bear arms shall not be infringed,”(437) and that adolescents in our society are NOT part of a well-regulated militia: “[there are] teenage drug dealers…cruising the cites of this nation perforating their fellow citizens with assault rifles” (437).
