Not a man, of course. Back then men were viewed as superior because that’s all they were ever taught. “It takes a lot of dishes and a lot of washing up, for mum to build an athlete” (Fairy Liquid and the Olympics) this reinforces the idea that women do the household chores in service to the males of the house. The implication that housework is purely a woman’s work is completely unacceptable in today’s day and age where women are seen as strong and independent. The unequal distribution of domestic responsibilities has held women back for generations; it still today continues to hinder women’s progression in the work-place.
In the poem ‘The sweet menu’ by Jeremy Hughes, it shows us a different scenario of the speaker dining out alone, which reflects his loneliness. The speaker tells us about how eating out isn’t as good as everybody says it is and that his focus is on other things apart from the meal. One comparison in both poems is that they are both structured the same way, with stanzas of 2 throughout, until the end where it finishes with one line. Throughout the poem eating out it shows us of a family which dine out over time, teaching their child how to eat out in a sophisticated and acceptable manner ‘so much good behaviour was indigestible’, suggesting that they were trying to teach her too much to quick, which she couldn’t handle. It shows how throughout time they introduce her to more varieties of cuisines to further her sophistication ‘father introduced London cuisine’.
The person is unrecognizable and is dressed in white garments from head to toe. The figure comes into the cave and removes the cobwebs from David, Petra and Rosalind who were also affected by the substance. The woman from Sealand is positively delighted to see Petra and gushes over her potential and explains how they will train her and endorse her gift with all the teachings they can offer. They prepare to leave when Michael asks about saving Rachel from Waknuk, this however is not a possibility seeing as how the craft runs on fuel and only has a scarce remaining supply; just enough to return them to Sealand safely. Rosalind inquires about the other web-ridden people in the field below them and the Seawoman explains that the substance killed them.
As a kid, I loved when my parents read me a bedtime story. If my parents read me a calming story, I had a sense of peace as I fell asleep. Eggers provides for Toph’s emotional needs when he reads him the story “Hiroshima”. Dave is even mature enough to read to his brother even after a disagreement. Dave even uses humor to lighten the mood.
In Genome, Ridley wanted to give insight about the human genome and how life really worked. Ridley thought of knowledge to be a blessing and not a curse (3). Though A Heartbreaking Works of Staggering Genius did not talk about the human genome, it discussed a story and let the reader view life from Egger’s perception. Though most of the narrations were depressing, Eggers really wanted to give the audience knowledge about the truth of life. In one of his observations, Eggers stated that everyone “feeds” off of each other every day until there is nothing left but a heartless body (425).
The film affirms the importance of belonging through the key message of the film being that through acceptance of others, a healing positive growth can develop. Another key example is Karin’s persistent in connecting with Lars. She jumps in front of his car to invite him to dinner, he tries to leave her and she crash tackles him to the floor. Through the persistent acceptance, love and support of the community, Lars is able to find genuine happiness and meaningful belonging through connection with others. Key Quotes/Techniques “We bought casseroles” “We came over to sit, thats what people do when tragedy strikes” - Mrs Gruener and other key community friends are seen further extending their love and acceptance towards Lars when they come over to ‘sit’ with him, during Bianca’s illness supporting him as he deals with his grief.
These qualities have been expressed in The Odyssey, when Nestor of Pylos kindly welcomes young Telemachus by stating, “Now is the time for a few questions, now that our young guests have enjoyed their dinner. Who are you, strangers…?” (Homer 37). Nestor, a minor character,

Fitz rolled his eyes. “The name is Fitz. Only my grandmother calls me Mark.” She pretended to not hear him. “Do you work every day? Because every time I walk by here you’re always busy behind the counter or cleaning up after people.” “Uh yeah I try to get as many shifts as possible.” “Why?” “It’s none of your business.” “Oh and I thought we were off to a good start Mark.” He rolled his eyes.
As I donned my hair net and took my place behind the cool, metal counter I was sucked into a world that I had never been a part of before. I saw the young who were still ashamed of seeking refuge in such a lowly place, and the old who had been long since hardened by their way of life. There were families huddled closely together and loners crouched in a corner. Seeing the lives of all of these people made me realize how blessed I am. I have never had to depend on strangers behind a counter to feed me or know that I would not have somewhere to sleep at night if someone took my bed in the shelter.
