The paper referred to prostitutes as sisters and Men were usually depicted as the wrongdoers. This was a concept unheard of in Ingraham’s society. Ingaham shed light on the fact that once a woman was violated and abandoned by a man, she became shunned by the community, lost all opportunities to be married to a “good man,” had few job prospects available to her, as well as had no legal recourse. The only job women could hold at the time was as sweat shop employees, where they would be paid extremely low wages, on which survival was difficult, especially if the women had to support her children. Ingraham felt this broken system had been pushing women onto the street and into prostitution.
Terrie Hall, former smoker, has suffered severely from the effects of smoking. She did a commercial for the Center for Disease Control titled “Tips From Former Smokers- Terrie’s Ad”. The commercial began with a picture of Terrie in her youth then the sound of her voice began. This was extremely disturbing for me because her voice did not match her picture. she sounds robotic.
Lam uses irony through-out the story to expose the reasons that many Vietnamese children living in America will struggle with identity. Lam begins the story with a hint of irony when his Mother asked his aunt “Who will light incense to the dead when we’re gone,” and the aunt replies, “None of my children will do it, and we can forget the grandchildren. I guess when we’re gone, the ritual ends” (Lam, 2011, p. 1077). Although Lam’s Mother has brought her children to America for a better life she is disappointed that they have not kept their Vietnamese identity as she has. “Such is the price of living in America” is the only answer that the narrator has for this.
After the trial Scout overhears Mrs. Gates, her third grade teacher, talk to someone about how it is about time someone put those black people in their place. Then during class Mrs. Gates talks about how she hates Hitler for being so cruel to the Jews when they have not done anything to deserve it. Scout hears all of this and does not understand, so she talks to Jem, “…how can you hate Hitler so bad an’ then turn around and be ugly about folks right at home” (249-250). She knows that it is wrong to treat colored people wrong, and what Hitler is doing to the Jews is wrong. We learn that Scout understands what is right and what is wrong.
That depressed me.” This shows that Holden get depressed over the smallest things. This is concerning because it could lead to being depressed by bigger things. Another example is when Holden says “…I thought of her going in a store and buying it, and nobody in the store knowing she was a prostitute and all. The salesman probably just thought she was a regular girl when she bought it. It made me feel sad as hell – I don't know why, exactly”.
The condition of the house is very shabby and dirty. It shows that George can’t provide Myrtle with the wealth she needs to be part of the American dream. Therefore she betrays the bonds of marriage and has an affair with Tom and gets killed showing that the American dream is only an illusion of happiness as I’ve said before. The illusion of the American dream is big, powerful and sought out for but it isn’t what everyone else makes it out to be. Just because you have money doesn’t mean your necessarily happy because money cant buy happiness.
3.

Furthermore, women gained support for the feminist movement through the social media. Betty Freidman’s, The Feminine Mystique, described the melancholy lives and dissatisfaction that women led because of the restrictions put on them by the male-dominated community. Friedman says, “A woman is handicapped by her sex, and handicaps society, either by slavishly copying the pattern of man's advance in the professions, or by refusing to compete with man at all.” (Friedman 56). This means that women gave up the fight before they even gave it a chance and men took advantage of that. This acclaimed book ignited a dormant fire inside the oppressed women and feminism swept the nation during the 1960s.
Women faced economic social and freedom of rights barricades. Men's interests and efforts were towards the important people; themselves. We see this when the narrator is genuinely concerned about something strange in the house. John shows no empathy or support towards his own wife. Alternatively john responds by telling her it "was a draught, and shut the window" (Gilman 34).
Aunt Alexandra was horrified with the fact that Scout did not live up to the standards society had of women. She believed Scout should be wearing dresses, not running around wild like a boy. To further outstretch this topic of stereotypes, an article published in August 2014 by The New York Times stresses the phrase 'throw like a girl' and the hidden aspects of it. On the second page of the article, the author speaks of stereotypes of the female community. "Such restriction, constriction, and fragmentation can be observed in many everyday movements, including the way a woman walks, sits, and carries books.
