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).

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...

Everlasting Mistakes: America Never Seems to Learn

America is essentially naive. We take what we want and we take what we have for granted. If something is going to propel our status up, whether it's for wealth, our social lives, or just out of selfishness, we don't seem to even hesitate to act. As we observe in Raymo's piece, the act of selfishness and naiveté is what drives their decisions, and eventually, will lead to their own death. The piece takes place in 1987, which is only around 25 years from when we learned how harmful cigarettes actually were. Just like in Raymo's piece when the six-year-old girl "rubbed the glowing dust on her body" not knowing that the "beautiful dust" would "damage her living cells" (Raymo 212) and kill her, our society did something quite similar and acted out of same naiveté. We did the same thing with tobacco and cigarettes and blindly rushed into using them because "they were cool" and "the new thing". Then once it was already too late...

"How Are You?" (I don't actually care though)

When we talk to people, we always seem to start our conversations with phrases such as, "how are you?" or "what's been going on with you lately?". But what is the purpose to asking these questions if the responses that we get back essentially don't mean anything to us? What are we getting from one-word answers like "good", "I'm fine", or just "yeah"? By nature, we ask these questions without actually caring about what the person answers back to us. However, I actually believe that these questions are of crucial use to us. For example, when your parents force you to meet someone like their "high school friend" and all you have to do is be polite, these questions are quite handy. You're able to fill awkward time and be polite at the same time. While it might seem cold-hearted to think this way, in reality, everyone does it. On the other hand, I'm sure there are some people who are asking these questions to ...
