This is the common consensus, and it also seems to be the shared experience of my target group, both male and female. For a male member caringly reffered to as “brother” the picture starts to fade rather quickly as it soon becomes apparent that violence and a macho persona are not only acceptable but expected and respected normal behavior. In this way the female members (sisters) almost instantly differ. Although it is expected that a woman be ready and willing to defend the many aspects that accompany gang life it is not expected for her to be overtly aggressive or tough. The female counterparts or Latin queens are initially viewed as a subservient faction of the nation, breeders and en masse event planners, however this could not be more wrong, this is the majority for many female members but there are some outstanding Queens that transcend these roles and involve themselves in expected “male” behaviors such as violent acts, outstanding verbal leadership and over the top representation of the group or “repping”.
I do not really like dating. I love the good relationships that I currently have with all of my friends; and I love my all of friends enough to not want to risk jeopardizing our current relationships by means of all of the stupid drama that comes along with dating. It is not close relationship part of dating that I really have a problem with; it is the fighting and the break-up part of dating that I hate. If there is a group of friends and two of them start going out and dating each other, there is nothing wrong. The other kids in the group of friends think it is cute, and just seeing the new couple so happy together makes the whole group just as happy for them.
Fran was also very loyal to him, but James didn’t seem to think so and if he did know he made sure she stayed that way because he beat her for smiling and looking when a partner of his told him Fran was pretty. In addition, to the abuse Francine
Alcee Arobin is a lady’s man who has many affairs with different women and intends to make Edna another one of his affairs. But Edna doesn’t let Alcee take control of the relationship; she writes him when she wants and decides when they should go out. Being in control is a reverse role for Edna, but she knows it is really who she is, and it is what she wants. Alcee plays along and lets Edna take control, and Edna discovers the satisfaction of using a man the way men usually use women. Although Edna has taken control of her own life, she is still not happy with her life because of the many different types of love she has experienced.
They always compare him with his older brother. For Lorraine, it’s more easy because she’s the only child. But her mom puts on her about public image. Lorraine can’t feel confident about herself even she’s pretty. John feels comfortable to prevaricate, however Lorraine can’t.
Throughout the story, the characters bicker back and forth about why it is better to be intelligent over being beautiful and vice versa. I believe Jane Martin is trying to tell us that there really is no answer to this controversial question and that this is a problem that people deal with on a daily basis. She believes that neither is better and both people should be content with the card they were dealt. There are perks and treats for being either beautiful or
If you’ve ever struggled vainly to figure out how to get out of the friend zone, the following should be quite familiar. “I really like you as a companion, and I don’t want to risk ruining our great friendship if we get involved.” “I’m not really looking for a relationship right now… we should really just be buddies.” “I just broke up with my boyfriend and I need to get back to being myself before being with somebody else.” “I need some space to be alone right now… let’s just be friends.” Have you ever heard any of the above from a girl you liked? (…most men have, at one point or another) Or worse, were you ever friends with a girl you liked and never even made a move in the first place, out of fear of hearing the friends-speech? Many men hope that someday, she will magically fall in love with them… and that SHE will be the one to make the first move. And then they’ll be out of the friends zone and will stop being just friends.
Sammy knew this, but didn’t mind too much because of his infatuation with the change in norm. These girls were different and stood out. Mr. Lengel did not like this and decided that he was going to do something about it. Throughout Mr. Lengel’s interaction with the girls, he says, “This isn’t the beach,” on multiple occasions in order to create an emphasis on his main point. Due to this repetitiveness, it is discovered that Mr. Lengel is most likely a firm boss that appreciates when things are done properly.
Kristina would start to feel the eager to need the Crank and did anything to get it. She went through many boys thinking she was in love with all of them, but she figures out that the monster is what makes her believe she was in love, but at the end she ends up a beautiful son but no father or boyfriend. All she had was her
They would rather sit and talk and be quiet, versus loud and obnoxious. They are more secretive with each other and bond through that. “It’s the telling of secrets, the fact and the way that they talk to each other, that makes them best friends” (315). Women are simpler with their conversational styles, and do not take hierarchy as serious as men do. When young girls play together they play games that consist of their future, typically house, or forms of it, and share secrets consistently with those they trust the most.
