She became extremely uncomfortable with the tensions between her sister, the thought of her husband in combat at war, and the expectations of the team. She often complained that the “game” was becoming too hard and Dugan reminded her that it is suppose to be that way or else everyone would do it. “The hard is that makes it great.” (Marshall) Dottie refused to see how special and important her opportunity was. The entire league viewed her as the most talented player and this made her uncomfortable appearing as being #1 and the pressures that came with that. On the other hand, Dottie’s sister Kit represented the “fear of failure” athlete.

Sam really pushes that Parents are teaching their children very bad qualities, ‘isn’t good sportsmanship a model of life?’ maybe it isn’t to sports aggressive parents. It’s time for all parents to remember that children learn from you. Sam illustrates that best coaches and parents encourage their kids to play fair, to have fun and to concentrate on helping the team while at the same time polishing their own skills. Once again ‘what sort of parent are you’.

Nenny believes if you do not get hips you turn into a man. Esperanza fears her sister being made fun of so she comes to her defense saying that hips are scientific and that bones tell you the difference between man and woman. As they continue to play double-dutch, they decide as a group to make up their own individual rhymes. Everyone is able to complete this task except for Nenny. The innocence of young girls is shown in this vignette.
If a boy were to try out for cheerleading or ballet, mostly every guy would make fun of him. Yet if a girl tried out for football or lacrosse, I know that I at least would have loads of respect for her.

Some girls begin to lose their "voice" or "go underground" with their gifts and abilities as they absorb messages about what it means to be "feminine" in our culture. In response, girls tend to act in, which expresses itself in eating disorders, depression, teen pregnancy, and lowered academic achievement in core academic areas such as higher level math and science. On the other hand, adolescent boys, experiencing pressure to conform to "masculine" stereotypes, often "toughen up" and act aggressively in all facets of their lives. Boys receive messages that it is not all right to be nurturing and caring, to express their feelings. In response, boys tend to act out, which can express itself in disruptive or violent behavior.
The tall blonde woman is wrong in stating the school isn’t raising rocket scientists because she makes a dangerous assumption, leads these kids to feel uncomfortable in their learning environment, and deprives the kids from being proud of who they are and wanting to learn. A teacher making their own decision to focus on art, specifically because they believe it is the only way for these children to succeed is wrong. Most children want to learn and feel like they can achieve anything they desire ranging from a doctor to a pilot.
