In both the excerpts from Karen van der Zee 's novel "A Secret Sorrow" and in Gail Godwin 's short story "A Sorrowful Woman," the plots center on ideas of marriage and family. Conversely, marriage and family are presented in very different lights in the two stories. Karen van der Zee presents marriage with children as perfect and completely fulfilling; it is what Faye, the protagonist of "A Secret Sorrow", wants and what is necessary to her happiness. For Godwin 's unnamed protagonist, marriage and family are almost the antithesis of happiness; her home life seems to suffocate hear and eventually leads her to death. "A Secret Sorrow" directly endorses and encourages marriage, whereas "A Sorrowful Woman" indirectly questions and discourages it.…
This book gives us an inside on how children think about meeting new people. I like the way it puts it in the concept on being afraid rather then not likeing the person. The story line is very detailed and used pictures for every action. This book teaches children to treat everyone the same even if they are different. I also thought the message was very creative yet realist about the fact that even if a child is in a wheel chair they are still capable of doing the same things. I like that is was short so that it will not be hard to keep the readers attention.…

Jenifer Turriziani graduated Seton Hall University School of Law with a Juris Doctor degree. She is a lawyer involved in medical malpractice defense law so she deals with the misuse of medical technology often. In her paper, “The Need for Regulation on the Quest For Perfection,” Jenifer Turriziani argues that it is impossible for a parent deciding their child’s genes to know what is best for them before they are born. For example, what if the child doesn’t enjoy the sport or activity the parents bought for them at birth and the child will never determine their own success or what makes them happy. She also brings up the point of lack of diversity and genetic discrimination that will challenge our country if there is no regulation of genetic…
In today's Society conversations between males and females has become difficult. There are a lot of miscommunications between males and females. In Deborah Tannen’s article “ Sex, Lies and Conversations” Tannen talks about how men and women talk differently to each other as well as the misunderstandings between each. She believed that no one person was at fault, whereas the differences caused by sexual standards. I feel that communication changes between males and females when in a different age group. These groups range from children, to teens, and adults.…
The Awakening by Chopin was written in a time where marriage and love did not have the same meaning as it does today. The women in this time was forced into an arranged marriage at a young age, they had no time to experience life they self. In today society we have a choice on who we marry and for what reason why we choose to marry. Edna marriage was to escape from her family cage only to replace by Mr.Ponteller cage. She was forced in to a loveless marriage for the appearance of society. Marriage to the Edna was something that was suffocated the life out of her. It seemed that she had no voice in the world around her that affects her. She realize that she want more out life than to be just a mother and wife. So often in life we get caught up in life not realizing that we have not spent enough time enjoy life. She realized that staying into a loveless marriage, she would lose a little of herself every day. “She was a grown young woman when she was overtaken by what supposed to be the climax of her fate.” (Chopin, 2011, chapter7 P). She found that her marriage lacks the passion and love she long for. “It was when the face and figure of a great tragedian began to hunt her imagination and stir her sense. The persistence’s of realm of dreams and romance.” (Chopin, 2011, Chapter 7, P).…

Shaughnessy, author of Marriage, Divorce, and Revelation: Reading Between the Lines of The Book of Changes, relates the text back to its influence within Chinese history. Apparently, the marriage between the maiden and the lame man is a reference to the daughter of the former king of the Shang Dynasty, King Di Yi, and King Wen, ruler of a rivaling nation whose marriage was used political move to reconcile relations. (Shaughnessy, 588). King Di Yi is solely referenced within the sixth stanza of the poem, where he is mentioned to give away his daughter. An overall analysis of the poem would suggest that the hexagram, being a historical reference and moral guide to understanding the complexity of chance and relationships, would explain why the Yijing remains as a classical book in China and other societies.…
According to the chapter 4 Reading 2 in View 2 on page 93 of the Catalyst 2 book Writing from Reading; I believe a marriage based on a love marriage. I think in the same way as View 2 about arranged marriages and love marriages because I feel people should trust in themselves, make independent decision, and be responsible for their own choices. Just as in the United States people live based on independent by their own life, trust in themselves, and responsibility of what they done and had decide.…
You’ve probably heard that 50 percent of marriages end in separation, but did you know that adultery occurs in eight out of ten marriages? This is according to Dr. Bonnie Eaker Weil in her book “Adultery: The Forgivable Sin”(Hastings House Book Publishers, 1994).…
One of the ways that the narrator is communicating the importance of God’s Promise is through Rahab’s important speech in verses 8-14. We know that Rahab has done something really nice for the spies, but we do not know why until this portion. Now, she goes up to the roof to explain to the spies why she has helped them. Her confession is unexpected because she is a prostitute, but she claims YHWH as God and describes the miraculous things she had heard that God had done for them. In referring to what God has done, she doesn’t ask about them like she just heard somebody randomly claim it; but she speaks about very specific things that he has done such as the crossing of the Red Sea. It doesn’t say how she knows these things happened, but probably…
