In the story a gift of the magi, one whole paragraph is dedicated to the main character- Della’s- worry about if her husband will still find her attractive, even though she cut off and sold her hair to buy him a Christmas gift. She curls it and takes the time to “reflect in the mirror, long, carefully.” After she cries and explains everything to Jim when he comes home from a rough day at work, he reply’s in a calm” I don't think there's anything in the way of a haircut or a shave or a shampoo that could make me like my girl any less.” Men really don’t care much about little things like that. It’s a gender role created by social norm for girls to be pretty and impress the opposite sex. Also in the story it shows another great example of a stereotype commonly pushed on young women.

For me, Hubbing is very therapeutic and gives me something to do. I hate when you find a neat project or picture on Pinterest and click it to find out it's just a bogus/fake post with no description or instructions! Ugh! While I started Hubbing before I became obsessed with Pinterest, I kept Hubbing and sort of found my crafting and cooking niche because I was happy to share with anyone who was interested. A Christmas movie serves as a soundtrack while the tree is twinkling and sparkling in the background.
She finds the courage to rise up above societies expectation that she stay in this marriage, and walks out: “S’posin’ Ah wuz to run off and leave yuh sometime” (30). When Janie runs off with Jody, she knows that society will not approve, but she does it anyways because she is after that feeling of lust and desire that she experienced under the pear tree. Jody makes Janie feel good, at least at first. He spoils her with the finest treats and he treats her like a true lady. Also, he was perceived as “socially acceptable” by most everyone; he was a prominent businessman and Governor.
When he finally does win her heart back, he is almost disappointed in a way partly because the chase was over and partly because she had not lived up to the expectations he had created in his fantasies. Fitzgerald casts Gatsby as a people pleasing manipulator. In one chapter of the book, a girl describes her one encounter with Gatsby: “‘When I was here last I tore my gown on a chair, and he asked me my name and address—inside of a week I got a package from Croirier’s with a new evening gown in it.’” (47) It almost seems as if Gatsby is only generous to avoid negative attention.

Perhaps then, we tell ourselves, we can start to make sense of the convoluted mess we are in today. But beginnings are rarely as clear-cut as we would like them to be.
