Both Texts A and B, interrelate a common theme and discuss a common issue, the women’s role in society. Text1 (a) is adapted from the novel The Stone Diaries by Carol Shields (1993). While Text 1 (b) is an article written by Frank Kano, called “A TV Boss…” published in the “The Observer” magazine on October 17, 2004. Carol talks about women and how they are bored and tired from staying at home doing typical work like cleaning, washing and cooking. While on the other hand, the author of Text 1(b) Frank is talking about a woman that looks at the positive side of life, a woman who is free in her life and looks to life optimistically. We also can see that Text1 (a) is adopted from a novel, which means it is a fictional story. While Text1 (b) is adopted from a magazine which means that it is a true story.
There are some similarities shared in both texts. Text1 (a) and Text 1(b) discuss a common issue, the role of women in society. In Text1 (a) Carol talks about the typical woman , the woman that stay at home to cook, wash, clean, and take care of her children. While in text 1(b) Frank is talking about the woman that work and take care of her own business. Both texts talks about women. Both women in the texts are married; in addition to that these women are mothers. Literary, neither of the authors uses any kind of figurative language nor stylistic devices. But both texts uses the third person “she.”
Both texts have differences. One obvious major difference in both texts is the time difference. Text 1(a) is adapted from the novel The Stone Diaries written in 1993. While text 1 (b) is adapted from an article called “A TV Boss…” written in 2004. And from here we can see how the women’s role changed over the years. Back in time around the ninety’s, women were most likely to stay at home, cook, wash, clean, and take care of the children. While after years, the world has been civilized and the women’s role has changed to the better. Nowadays
