Which ultimately lead the women to hide critical evidence from the men because they wouldn’t understand anyways. The setting, characters, and clues all contribute to the theme of gender roles of men and women in this short story. A big contributor of the theme of “A Jury of her Peers” is the setting in which the story takes place. Being that the story takes place in the early nineteen hundreds, the women are not seen as helpful. The women are kept in their domain, the kitchen, throughout the entire story because that is where men believed the women should be.

ITS 101 HW 1 Creative Work after reading “Pink boots and a machete” I don’t enjoy reading much, but I found this book was really interesting and well-composed autobiography by documenting the author’s journey from NFL cheerleader to the primatologist. I also thought that it is also quite inspiring especially for the young teenage girls. The book starts out with Mireya explaining how she'd have many pets in her small home. She lived with her mother, grandmother and aunt, all 3 being strong Cuban women who inspired her through the years. She goes through school life like any other child, and makes it to college where she tries out for the Miami Dolphins' cheerleading squad, and makes it.
Even with the jobs, she struggles to afford housing, and resorts to living in a trailer park in which despair and crime abound. Her situation only grows bleaker as she travels to Portland, Maine, where she works at a nursing home on the weekends, and for a housecleaning service full time during the week. There, she again faces staggering financial obstacles, and when, one weekend, it appears a standard meal will become unattainable due to an absence of funds, she moves on to her next and final destination: Minneapolis, Minnesota. The experiment culminates in Ehrenreich finding employment at a local Wal-Mart, where she observes and endures what she considers to be highly unethical treatment in the workplace, raises the possibility of forming a workers’ union, and eventually leaves the job. Though through her experiences and descriptions Ehrenreich does provide readers with insight into the lives of the working poor, I must admit I was initially wary of the credibility of her conclusions because of the inherent bias

She is introduced as a temptress or “looker” but later reveals a deeper character in the novel. Curley’s wife is powerless due to her gender. In the book, women are portrayed as troublemakers and Curley’s wife is defiantly included in this portrayal. She is described as a “tart”, “bitch”, and a “tramp”. The workers speak of her, basically, as Curley’s problem that needs to stay at home away from the other workers.
Mrs. Mooney was previously involved in a dysfunctional marriage to a “shabby stooped little drunkard” (61). Similar to her own marriage, Mrs. Mooney indirectly forces Polly to marry for money. Mrs. Mooney is a ruthless character as a result of her previous troubles. Consequently, Mrs. Mooney’s maternal connection with Polly is non-existent, turning their relationship into a business. When Mrs. Mooney is observing Polly’s interactions with young men, she becomes frustrated that “none of [the men] meant business” and considers sending Polly back to her previous job (63).
We’ve been accused of ruining local shops, blighting green fields and homogenizing everything from cheese to cherries. I feel that it’s very unfair because supermarkets have been extremely liberating for women especially. They can now shop once or twice a week for the basics. Few people have the time to spend two hours chatting to the grocer and the butcher. Tesco is classless; we have rich people coming in to buy toilet paper and poorer people coming in to buy cereal.
