On the other side is Eric Bartels who, in his article “My Problem with Her Anger”, describes the hostile nature of the relationship that he has with his wife since the birth of their children However the authors may differ they do touch on similar topics throughout the articles. One common idea among the two viewpoints is that a family requires sacrifice from both partners in order to be successful, but just what that sacrifice entails seems to differ from one perspective to the next. Both authors refer to the feminist movement as an underlying cause for much of the disharmony in their relationships; both cite the notion of co-parenting and equal division of labor as a cause of embitterment and anger on the part of the wife when they realized that it was not the case. While the ideas expressed by the two authors may differ in many ways, there are some ideas that are shared by both parties.

She bears his child whose skin seem to become darker months after the birth. The husband, Armand, blames Desiree for the child’s color and deems them impure in his eyes.

Molly Kellogg Dr. Neary English 150 2/16/15 The poem, “The Blue Dress,” by Sharon Olds, tells the story of a young lady who appears to venerate her father but is terribly disillusioned when she realizes he is not the man she had envisioned. On her fourteenth birthday, she receives a lovely, perfectly fitting, blue dress from Hink’s, an upscale store featuring attractive women’s clothing and lingerie. She is thrilled, believing the dress has been a gift from her father. A year later, however, when her mother divulges that her father “had not picked out the dress” at all, she is crushed.
