In turn, this made everyone think of her works as pedophiliac. “Mann has been accused of building her reputation [as an artist] on the exploitation of her children” (Higonnet, 403). Despite critics’ destructive interpretations of her work, I strongly believe that Mann embodies both the ideal characteristics of a feminist artist and being a good mother to her children. Not only has Mann made a huge impact in the arts, creating a female aesthetic through “the violation of a gender role,” but she also manages to find a median between her work and her children, ultimately combining the latter to produce a collaborative relationship to encapsulate one of the greatest themes of American art: family (Higonnet, 417).

Jim tarter focuses on statistics in order to lure the reader in to thinking that Jim is knowledgeable of the topic on carcinogens in the environment. Whereas, Pamela Paul uses her own enthusiasm and persistence for the topic on carcinogens in domestic cleaning products in order to persuade her reader. I feel that both authors managed to construct strong arguments and it will depend solely on who is reading the essay. For example if a mother is reading the compositions Paul’s article will be more relatable as she is a mother herself who focuses on the safety of children. This would lead to the reader coming to the conclusion that Pamela Paul’s essay is superior.
Sommers is trying to teach her daughters that there is more out there and that they can be optimistic, despite what may be going on in our lives. I agree with the writer because I believe that as long as you have life there is hope. Sommers wanted to teach her daughter that they can use their mother and grandparents as examples to better themselves and learn from it all. “To learn a personal eloquence I could never learn at home”. The writer was not able to learn how to speak articulacy because she had inherited a language from her parents.

Towards the end of the novel the idea that the sense of belong is dynamic and changing is displayed on page 183 where Josie discovers how much she really belongs. In doing so short syntaxes are used for instance ‘The girls look up to you. They copy what you do.’ This causes the point to get across sharp and quick, which being that Josie has a significate influence on her peers.

The Human Service field is a female dominated field according to Forbes.com and after observing my life experience with the movie When Harry met Sally, I see myself as a prime example of this daily in almost everything that I do. I realize that I am a very sympathetic person and just how much that has to do with my communication skills.

In addition, if a female friend is having problems with her spouse and needs someone to listen to her; she knows that she can call me day or night and tell me anything, while men on the other hand rarely talk about their
She wanted and needed more meaning to her life. This issue and anxiety was brought to the attention of millions by Betty Friedan with her book The Feminine Mystique. Friedan sent a message to surburban women that she understood them. For so long women had believed that becoming a housewife was their greatest achievement because it stablized the home, the family, and even the nation in the Cold War (Bowles, 2011, 4.3). Women did not want to express too much concern with the way they felt about the growing emptiness inside of them for they feared people would think of them as a failure.
It takes a strong mind to deal with all of those. Even though there will be bad days there will also be good days. What makes a nurse smile then hearing a baby first cry? Dorinda Mosbrucker will still choose the same career; she said, “If I had the chance to start over I will still choose the same career.
