By being able to understand her father without him using words shows how similar they are, and how much they understand each other. In a way, she is also categorizing her mother, and later on her sister, with the sinners, furthering her critical attribute. Another defining feature shared among the family members, is the prim and proper attitude towards everything. When the family is attempting to meet their sixty-one pound maximum requirement, Leah says even when they are “trimming” back it does not help them reach that constraint. Rather than saying, “cutting” back, as most would, she says the more gracious thing, offering insight into her upbringing as well as her parent’s parenting styles for the reader.
Counter for the Case Against Chores Abstract Jane Smiley attempts to give parents advice about household chores in her essay The Case Against Chores, which was featured in an issue of Harper’s magazine in 1995. I think that Jane had a somewhat privileged childhood; if it weren’t for finding the way to hard work through working with horses, she would most likely not have a clue of how to operate in the adult world. I grew up in a house with a chore list, and it helped me on my path to be a functioning adult and mother. Agreed that most children would celebrate Jane Smiley’s case against chores, but is it any good? In her essay, The Case against Chores, Jane Smiley shows her contempt for chores by giving some opinions that I simply do not agree with.

Explain what is meant by the statement "we are the consumers of tomorrow" in the concluding sentence (4) When the author mentions this, she's saying that we're the ones raising the next generation, so we should notice the kids now, than ignore them in the future.

Family Interview Results Summary As I was trying to decide which essay to write, I thought to myself that it would be very interesting to do a family interview on a close sibling discussing their views of dating and how their marriage unfolded. There were many different siblings I was considering, including my grandparents, but when it came down to it, I had to choose my mother because I was interested to see how my mother and father met, even though I got a brief description growing up.

Her answer was, “In high school, I was a freshman and he was a junior and our friends introduced us one day at school.” I realized that my father is only a few years older than my mother so this made perfect sense to me.
He was sure though, that his mom always preferred that he be at home, no matter who was to tag along. He also knew – they would be well fed. “Will your mom make breakfast burritos?” Will asked. “You know she will, Will.” Garrison answered. They both chuckled at their pun.

It sometimes became kind of uncomfortable to talk about the topic of puberty with my mom and aunt since it was two different sexes, I never had a male role model so talking to them became very easy not that uncomfortable anymore as I got older.

According to the health textbook masculinity as well as femininity refer to the ideal cluster of traits that society attributes to each gender. Society is changing in many ways and one can see that in the models of masculinity and femininity. It is not uncommon in our modern day society to see a woman having a CEO position, or see a woman being a police officer, nor it is uncommon to see male librarians organizing books or stay at home dads taking care of the kids.
