Well, the future is now yet we are still stuck with this enormous gender gap. I’d like to take a look again at some of our readings and videos as well as others in an attempt to dissect this pattern we seem to still be stuck in. As I began researching this topic, I was surprised to learn that a lot of people are criticizing Sheryl and finding a lot of contradictions in what she has to say. I will also include the opposed point of view in my research and paper. During my time in this class, so many things struck me hard.
To clarify what I mean, I look at punctuations, viewing of the narrator, and just a better understanding of Johns side and theory of her illness. I tried to break down each of her journal entries to focus more on the underlying problem, what is wrong with her? Something that I hadn’t thought of before was that only the narrator, who seems to be crazy, is the only side of the story you hear. What probably happened the first time reading this paper through was that I took everything she said to literal and didn’t take into account that she probably has no clue what she is talking about. If I just looked at what only John says, his ideas seem more relevant and actually seemed to be true.
I felt awkward being alongside her as she sounded opinionated and argumentative. However when she then engaged with the group about why she was here and what influenced her, I felt overwhelmed by her story and lost my sense of judgment towards her. This experience has made me realize never to judge a book by its cover. 2. What did you notice about the way you engaged with Diversity in your group?
This book had me questioning my beliefs, and role in my society in every chapter and when I got to the very end of the book I was forced to ask myself many questions. If ever there was a novel that had such a theological approach along with a magical, fascinating touch to it this would be the definition of it. "The Life of Pi" will, at the very least, would deliver a very mesmerizing and captivating way to spend time. Intelligent storytelling, Indeed it is but it can also help you think twice on how you examine the world and isn't that the point of awesome piece of literature. The novel begins by inaugurating its protagonist and narrator, Pi (shortened from piscine) Patel.
Angela Ferguson Mrs. C. Briley ENG 102-D61 28 March 2012 Conflicts in “A Rose for Emily” After reading “A Rose for Emily” several times, I’ve noticed several conflicts in Miss Emily’s life, some more disturbing than others. This story is somewhat complex in its potential to create so many different interpretations. As you read, you notice missing information, and you have no choice but to make assumptions to fill in the blanks. One thing is obvious, Miss Emily’s conflictions with love, reality, and ‘a new era’ has pushed her to point of no return. At the end of the story, I realized I was not the only one sympathetic to Miss Emily’s plight.
Language Analysis With many people in the world being confused with who they are and diagnosed with gender identity disorder, gender changes have been made possible in our day and age. Gender changes and transsexuals, however, have long been a hotly debated issue in society. Following the ever growing debate over whether gender changes are morally acceptable or not, two writers express their views on the controversial issue. In a newspaper article, Michelle Griffin outlines the rights that confused people diagnosed with gender identity disorder deserve. She does this in an accepting and reasonable tone, contending that those who believe they have been born in the wrong body have a right to have a gender change operation because “it’s [their] choice after all.” Griffin intends to target those who are sceptical or scared of the idea of transgendered people with this piece as she tried to change their views by educating them more on the issue at hand.
Diversity in marriage and family relationships The topic that contained the most important ideas and that challenged my thinking was when we learned about marriage. When I learned that the class was going to be discussing marriage I knew that I would learn material that I didn’t know, but I also thought that most of it was going to be common sense. I was wrong about that because marriage as a broad topic is not common sense. I learned about different statistics, different types of marriages, and what things to do and not do in a marriage. The first thing I learned and found interesting was that for 50% of people in the United States marriage wasn’t for them.
