Both Baby and Anne are very smart, but Baby isn’t recognized for it. Instead she is put into a practical learning class. “I didn’t bother explaining that I’d been on the honor roll at my last school. That I had to go to a program for kids who had learning disabilities made me sad beyond words.” (Page 202, O’Neil) Baby deserved more, considering she was on the honor roll. But because she had to go to a detention centre, the social worker basically forced her into going to this class.

The Crucibles Context The crucibles was initially called “the chronicles of Sarah good” In 1953 Thr Crucibles won the best play tony award and a year later it became a new production and succeeded and became an American classic. Miller was still only an undergraduate while researching the itch trial and writing the crucibles in the mid 50’s At the time of its first performance, in January of 1953, critics and cast alike perceived
Our text refers to this concept as internalized roles. For social specifications of behaviors to be effective, individuals must internalize their roles. At very young ages, girls understand that they must be caretakers, that their responsibilities are mainly at home, and one of their jobs is to support the men as they study Jewish history and laws. Girls are not encouraged to consider careers; rather their main priority is finding a proper Jewish husband. An example of how Elizabeth’s behavior is directly affecting her daughters is that one of her daughters is considering going to Israel, which in those times was forbidden by the Rav.
It's easy to see why Rich believes that when she was a student, what she was taught "in no way prepared [female students] to survive as . . .wom[e]n in a world organized by men" (211). In my opinion, not a lot of women around this age would have been brave enough to write an article about taking women students serious for fear of oppression. Many women probably did not even know how to write because their were neglected from their studies or were probably always to busy doing what ever their husbands wanted them to do.
The values of heritage seem to have been lost with the gain of knowledge when Dee has gone to college. Her actions she displays when she comes home for a visit are shocking to her family. It is almost as if Dee is using them for a show, rather than a visit that has been well overdue. It’s one thing to know what heritage is but another to understand what your heritage is. Mama was always one who could not say “no” to her daughter and she always tried to please her regardless if her daughter appreciated it or not.
After a few years of traveling as a maid to a singer she decided to go back to school though and finish, but she was 26 by now. So she came up with the idea to take ten years off of her life and becoming a teenager again. When she took those ten years off that put her back at sixteen again and she never gained the years she took back. Zora had to always present herself ten years younger so people would believe her and would not get caught. People said she had the looks and skin to be one and if they did not know her would think she was an actual teenager, which is a good thing.
I dropped out of college. For unlike my mother, I did not believe I could be anything I wanted to be. I could only be me (Tan 522). In Jing-Mei’s mothers effort to make her a prodigy, she actually taught her one of the most important life lessons, that is that you can not live out to the expectations of other people, that you must establish your own identity, own expectation for yourself and find happiness in being the best that you can be. When Jing-Mei’s mother passes, for the first time in quite a while Jing-Mei sat at the piano in her mother’s apartment, the same one she practiced at when she was attempting to become a prodigy child and played “Pleading Child” (Tan 523) the same piece she played at the recital.
http://www.victorianweb.org/index.html The Women at English Literature Jane Eyre (by Charlotte Brontë) The role of Jane Eyre is an excellent example on the view and manners of women in the Victorian Period. She is resigned, but already have personal thoughts and pursues. She is a middle-class worker, with no actual family and no prospects, at the beginning, of improvement. But, because of her personality, she manages to transform her life in many ways. If she were a "kind" child, by the eyes of Mrs. Reed, she would never go to Lockwood school; she were able to grow up in terms of knowledge in the school, because she had the need of being liked by others and was strong enough to improve herself in many ways; she, by herself, took a chance when announcing to be a governess.
All these themes or can we call them questions or problems, are what the author tries to show us and maybe answer us trough the short story “The Sin Bin or Lucy’s Heart”. I’ve got the feeling, when I read the text that Lucy truly is a well behaviour girl; she’s a Grade A student and most of the times listen to her mother. But she’s weak and naive, she wants to be liked and to be cool, or maybe she’s just an easy target for group pressure. Her mother tells her not to smoke because it’s bad for her organs etc. Although she know it’s true she does it, because Bethan her popular but bad mannered best friend does it, and had told her that it keeps you skinny.
