In neither the book nor the movie did Janie want to marry the old stranger, and she ended up leaving him for another guy, Jody Starks. Because of Jody's constriction, Janie never felt as though she was living her life to her fullest. Both the book and the movie note Janies love and conection with nature. Unlike in the book, the movie missed out on alot of details that the book had had. For one, in the book Janie tells Phobe her story from when she found out she was colored, the movie did not have that in it.

Jordan Davis English 102 Emily Capettini October 31, 2012 When Harry Met Sally The film When Harry Met Sally confronts the differences between the sexes and speaks about gender roles and issues that had never been talked about on the big screen before. When Harry Met Sally was a significant eighties film because, it was the first to look into sex and friendship between both genders at the time. Another theme of the film is that each case of romance is different and Nora signifies this by the use of short sequences scattered through the film in which she interviews elderly couples and they tell their own version of how they met. It became such a memorable piece of culture not only because Nora Ephron wrote the screenplay but because of the way she had Harry and Sally communicating the way people would like to have communicated but could not. It was also the time when STD’s and AIDS came into the mainstream, so the themes of sex and intimacy interested audiences in 1980’s.
We are not in that era anymore. Today women are astronauts, mayors, governors, Supreme Court justices, scientists, doctors, lawyers, and I wouldn’t be surprised if very soon the Unites Sates has its first woman president. So, with women being equals to men it could be easily seen why a proud woman would effortlessly decide to stay away from marriage and its demeaning title as “the
Nadya is a single mother who has to raise all 14 of her kids by herself. Angela Suleman, Nadya’s mother, told Nadya that when she gets home from the hospital, “I’m going to be gone.” With her mother refusing to help and a father out children by herself, with 8/14 of the children being the exact same age. Nadya Suleman is one example of many women who give birth to infertile children. “Many infertile couples turn to in-vitro fertilization and about 50 000 such infants are born each year in the United States – a number that has roughly doubled over the past decade. About 1 percent of U.S. babies are conceived using the technique,” researchers said.
Leon B. Bacon, a niece of Susan B. Anthony, stated later in life that “because of Aunt Susan's love for women and perseverance in her cause, I have today the enjoyment of a great many more rights and privileges than my mother had.” When Aunt Susan herself was young, there were no such things as woman's rights; all the rights were masculine. Women were ruled by a government and a law in which she had no voice. If she felt herself wronged in any way she had no way of making the fact known before the law. It was an unheard of thing for a woman to speak in public. None of the colleges or universities admitted women students.
Eleanor had regular press conferences, something that the first lady had never done. She did charity work, helped people in need during the Great Depression, and visited the slums. Not many first ladies did this much for the world. Eleanor cared for everyone at that is what makes her a true “American.” Eleanor was even nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, but didn’t win. Although she didn’t win, she received many other honors that were just as great.
(De Vries in Gen 14 2012, p.21) Many law firms even today are reluctant to make women partners because of the belief that women will ultimately leave to start a family. They are therefore hesitant to invest time into training. (Gen 14 2012, p.21) Statistics show that in 1947 only 2% of all lawyers were women. 1981 saw an increase to 11.4% and in 1991 women lawyers made up only 25% of part time and 54.4% of full time lawyers.

Throughout my life I have came up with many generalizations about girls and women. Some ideas that Holden has said I could agree with myself and others probably not so much. And my thoughts have changed greatly since I was in elementary to middle school and in high school, the thought are just not the same. If I could go back and tell my past self how things would change I probably wouldn't see myself the way I see them now. Presently there are many different things to think about girls, but I don’t think you can classify them as all one title, because I have never talked to two different girls that were exactly the same, liked the same things or think in the same way.
