Anthony’s Dilemma Story response

After reading your discussion question answer, I have to agree with your classmates about it sounding sexist. You wrote you’re posting the same way you would talk to another person face to face. However, when you are communicating online, it is important to use inclusive language when you write it so it won’t sound as if you are speaking to specific people or genders and no one in your audience is singled out. There were several mistakes in the content of your post. First of all, you addressed all of your classmates as “guys”. Since you have classmates from different genders and diversities it may have been more appropriate to use terms that embrace all of those differences. Perhaps, you could have addressed

    At the end of the book To Kill a Mockingbird ,by Harper Lee, Atticus Finch does not make an effective closing argument because the judge's mind was made before the case even started. “Judge Taylor was polling the jury: ‘Guilty… guilty… guilty… guilty…’” (Lee 211). Although Atticus made many valid points, none of them were effective. They made no changes in the judge's decision and no influence. Racism and going against African Americans was a societal acceptance, which made it normal to convict an African American with such valuable arguments. “‘How could they do it, how could they?’ ‘I don’t know, but they did it. They’ve done it before and they did it tonight and they’ll do it again and when they do it -- seems that only children weep’”…

    Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men is set in America during the years of the Great Depression. The depression, that was caused by the Wall Street Crash 1929, left people without a job or house. People had barely enough money to afford necessities such as, food, water and clothes. The pressures of the Great Depression led to many different forms of conflict. Steinbeck shows a variety of these conflicts throughout the novella. 

One form of conflict shown in the novella is Jealousy. The fact that Lennie is a 'huge man', results in Curley's jealousy towards Lennie. While describing Curley, Slim says, 'He's alla time picking scraps with big guys. Kind of like he's mad at 'em because he aint a big guy'. This foreshadows the fight between Curley and Lennie in which Lennie crushes Curley's hand. The adjective 'mad' connotes the irrationality of Curley's simmering anger. Curley's covetousness towards Lennie's size represents that the world of Dust bowl America was a harsh and unforgiving place, where physical strength was especially valuable. The adjective 'mad' has specific connotations which is why, Steinbeck chooses to use 'mad' rather than a word such as, angry to maybe suggest that Curley is slightly insane for picking fights with men considerably bigger and most likely stronger than him. 'Mad' also means that Curley is simply angry towards taller men because he envies them. This description of Curley makes the reader think of Curley as an insecure person as, the description shows that he feels inferior because of his diminutive stature. 

Resentment is also shown in scenes of conflict. George shows resentment towards Lennie as a consequence of Lennie losing him his job; that is so significant to achieving his desires. George says, 'I got you! You can't keep a job and you lose me ever' job I get.' The repetition of the word 'you' demonstrates that George sees Lennie as the cause of the conflict and as the person who endangers his chances of achieving his dreams. The…

    Gender roles have changed quite a bit; they are looser than forty years ago. Men are able to be more compassionate while women can be more assertive. For example, occupations for genders have been modified. Men are able to be a hair stylist and women can be in the army without being judged. If the class was to complete this exercise I believe that the results will be more androgynous than anything. Our generation is one of the huge contributions to why the gender role expectation is less strict. I highly doubt for major differences in the results.…

    Do teenagers today make the smartest decisions? Or do teenagers today have the opportunity to make many of their own decisions? In comparison to past decades, children in this current society are making many of their decisions primarily on the basis that our society is more guarded and protective. Children very seldom run around the neighborhood freely and have random playmates. Everything is organized and scheduled allowing little freedom for kids to make their own mistakes. This mentality consequently runs over into the parents dictating who their child dates. Once again this lack of decision making prevents teens from learning from their mistakes and taking the responsibility for their own lives. Therefore, teenagers today should be able to choose who they do and do not date without their parent's consent.…

    I feel it is a person’s choice and it is different than suicide. It has to be well thought out and talked about with a team of people involved including physicians, psychologists, and family. I also think it is based more on the person’s quality of life and their decision or choice should be honored. It’s not the same as suicide caused by a mental illness. This is not a well thought out plan and does not occur with a team of people.…

    This lesson can be very impactful if delivered in a positive way to a group of students who are old enough to take the information and run with it. This lesson on the surface is not an appropriate response to a multicultural issue because it mainly deals with the male and female gender. Though, if adapted and expressed in a certain way the lesson plan would be multicultural and really take the issue of sexism to a whole different level. Sexism if viewed differently from each of the different cultures, because each culture takes the topic to a different level. Some cultures believe women are above men, while others believe men own their woman. To make the students understand the cultural aspect of sexism could really open their eyes to a different side of the topic they most likely don’t hear very often.…

    Completing this assignment was a bit difficult for me. I found it difficult finding an appropriate time to pose the gender non-conforming statement. In retrospect, I was most definitely gender policing myself. When I finally did mention to my brothers that I was contemplating shaving all of the hair on my body and painting my nails for a few months to see what it feels like, they immediately threw the bull shit card and told me I was full of it. When I told them this was a class assignment they thought that it might be something along that order. I sometimes bring up ideas and materials I have learned in my studies when we are working. A little history here. My two brothers and I work together daily in construction and know each other quite…
