This depicts Cobb’s daily routine before and after work. Although the work and tests she took during the day significantly outweighed her routine in the aspect of difficulty, her routine was consistent and she never ventured off of it. This adds to the theme of working hard because it shows how Cobb didn’t give up her routine, despite how physically demanding it was, because she knew it would help her in the long run. It made her stronger and built up her stamina for when she would be working with Lovelace to train to pass the astronaut tests that only men had succeeded in…
In “My Problem With Her Anger” husband and father, Eric Bartels expresses the wearisome, and subjection encountered from household work. He feels compelled by his wife's unappreciated views for his efforts and willingness to assist around their home. “What gets me, though, is how little credit I get for the effort” (MPWHA, 438). Like any individual assisting with chores or activities, the relevance to receive appreciation is vital. Most individuals enjoy positive feedback for their work, such as household work. Transitioning more into the consistent apathetic tone from his wife, Bartels makes the assumption that the issue maybe his wife’s temper, and women's tendency of not being equip with their anger management. “...the more important issue: Controlling the monstrous effects...In other words, buck up,” (MPWHA, 439). Although it is relevant that Bartels attempts to support his stance, he fails to provide more of his own flaws and weaknesses. Such as putting dirty…

However, they both highly disagree on how the child’s highest potential is reached. Zee takes an optimistic view that allows parents to shelter, teach and guide their children to achieve their highest potential. Conversely, Dr. Munitz views Zee’s guided parenting as a way parents can “vicariously living through” their children. Furthermore, Munitz believes Zee’s empowerment of children at a young age will raise them to become “success junkies for life” (180). It’s evident that Munitz supports a natural child upbringing that allows the children to grow and succeed at their own pace and at their own interest. That notion is quite the opposite of Zee’s belief that every successful individual must be shown direction to find opportunities that would not be offered…
In the essay “In Praise of Margins,” Ian Frazier elaborates on the idea that margins are needed for the purpose of our own sanity. Frazier believes that “as the world gets more jammed up, we need margins . . . where you can try out odd ideas that you might be afraid to admit to with people looking on.” He believes that by engaging in marginal activities we can manage to avoid most of the stresses this “jammed up” world has to offer. As a child, Frazier’s marginal place was the woods where he and his friends would go out exploring and navigating their limitless imaginations. The marginal places that Frazier refers to in his passage are those that only benefit us on a personal level. In his passage Frazier conveys that as he became an adult he became a more ambitious person-everything he did had to have a purpose. As compared to his childhood, his adulthood was made up of pursuits and goals. He then realizes that at certain points we need a break from our purpose-filled lives. I agree with Frazier because we more than often times need a break from the fast pace, day to day routine that we are constantly consumed in.…
In “This is the Life” by Annie Dillard, Dillard uses a dominant magnanimous tone and she switches between a mocking tone and a provocative tone to express that humans nowadays take their lives for granted and they do not realize that not everyone in the world has such an easy life. Dillard does a tremendous job on describing the lives of humans in the past and the present, mapping out scenarios describing the “easy life” during a certain time period. As well as trying to get the reader to appreciate what they have in life, she also reminds us of how we need to challenge our worldview.…
In the essay “In Praise of Margins” by Ian Frazier, Frazier mentions that the world is a place where adults tend to get caught up in. They do not realize that what they need is that place to breath. He says that marginal places and activities, when he was a kid, were a waste of time, but once he was older and saw his child have their marginal “moment” playing, in the steam instead of fishing, he realizes the importance as an adult. He mentions that we all have a place as a child that we would like to go back and let go of all our responsibilities.…
Curley’s wife is marginalized in the novel because she is the only woman on the ranch. This affects her life in the novella because she starts to feel lonely and she also wants to try to talk to everyone on the ranch. “Wha’s the matter with me? Ain’t I got a right to talk to nobody? Whatta they think I am anyways? Your a nice guy… I ain’t doin’ no harm to you” (87). This was said by, Curley’s wife when she is speaking to Lennie about how no one talks to her on the ranch.Her sexuality isolates her from other characters and when she tries to engage with them she only drives them away further. Even though she is a marginalized character, she wants to be viewed as the boss’s son’s wife and she wants to be more important than the men. She treats…

In general, marginalization is where an individual usually have less interest in keeping his or her own cultural heritage and neither willing to adopt the new cultural identity (Berry, 2006). As seen marginalization thus affects the acculturation process because the individuals are unwilling to get assimilated and their culture also rags them behind.…
The use of practical skills can also be found in everyday life. Ever since I was a child, I was taught to be responsible. My mother told me that this was a necessary skill and that it would benefit me later on in life. So , I would always take out the garbage, clean my room and finish my homework. In my freshman year, I was nominated and elected to be a part of my school’s leadership because I was such a responsible student. The practical skill of responsibility led me into an activity that I still enjoy participating in today.…
