I Want a Husband

While Brady analyzed the stereotypical ways that women are viewed in society with their gender roles, I want to display the other side:a husband.
I want a husband that'll stay home and take care of the kids. I want him to drop them off at school and pick them up after, so I don't have to worry about it. I want him to take care of them when I'm home so that they aren't bothering me. I want a husband that is working at home but making a vast amount of money that'll guarantee us to be financially stable. I want him to take the kids to the park, pool, etc. some days so that I can have time to myself during the day.
I want my husband to be tall, muscular, humorous, and easy on the eyes. He needs to be tall because I want him to be taller than me. He needs to be muscular so that he can protect me and my children in a time of crisis. I definitely want him to be humorous because I don't want someone boring and bland, I want someone who can make me laugh. And of course I want him to be attractive because I mean, why not?
I want my husband to be athletic and smart. With an athletic husband, my kids can learn how to play sports because he'll be able to teach them. I also want him to be smart so that he can help the kids with homework so that I don't have to do it.
After all, "who wouldn't want a [husband]" (Brady 2).

Who is Meursault?

 The Stranger's Meursault, displays a pattern of behavior that is very uncommon in most literary works. While readers are usually able to relate to the main character and sympathize with the emotions that they are feeling, Meursault is the opposite. The way Meursault interacts and feels about certain situations and characters is quite strange, as if he's almost a stranger (hence the title) to the readers throughout the novel. We begin to wonder, is he a sociopath? Where are his emotions? Or why does he act this way? We wonder these questions because of how unfamiliar his character is to its readers. A term to somewhat describe Meursault's perspective and type of behavior would be nihilism. A nihilist is someone that does not believe in anything, has no loyalties, and ultimately believes that they, and society, have no purpose. Wow, that sure sounds like someone I'd love to be around! Meursault's detached personality erupts strange emotional behavior. For example, du...

Thank You School for...

 This I have learned... With such an interesting and unpredictable year, I have to admit, to my surprise, that I actually learned the most important life lessons this year. I find that my life and lifestyle is more appreciative and meaningful now because of the lessons that both COVID and online school have taught me. The most important takeaway being to never take anything for granted--even the endless hours of schoolwork or early morning school alarms. One particular thing that I will remember from this year is to always appreciate not only your closest friends but also your "school friends" because if not for school, then those close relationships would have never formed. While I never use to think twice about these concepts, I now will never be able to forget them and they'll always positively linger in the back of my mind.  The big understanding that I will take away from my entire school career as a whole is that school is meant for so much more than just the classe...

What's So Great About Poetry?

Poetry- the unit that most students dread to learn about in their English class. But why is poetry so disliked among high school students? A few of these reasons, and that I can attest for personally, are that poetry is seen as old, it can be quite difficult to understand/interpret, and we just fail to see the point of it. However, after interpreting some poems in class, my perspective began to shift (only slightly not significantly though). While I am still not the biggest fan of poetry, I am beginning to see a different side to it.  Yes, poetry is all of the negative things that I stated above (at least in my opinion) but once poetry is understood, the lesson becomes that much clearer and applicable. Understanding and correctly interpreting poetry is not only a beneficial skill to have but it also opens your eyes to a deeper understanding to things that are important in terms of culture, history, and etc. For example, poetry has effectively been used to advocate and teach about i...
