A Conversation with My Father By Grace Paley My father is eighty-six years old and in bed. His heart‚ that bloody motor‚ is equally old and will not do certain jobs any more. It still floods his head with brainy light. But it won’t let his legs carry the weight of his body around the house.

From Deborah Tannen’s essay “Sex‚ Lies and Conversation” I feel as though she is expressing her personal view of the different communication styles amongst men and women. In the essay‚ she writes “…American men tend to talk more than women in public situations‚ they often talk less at home.” (Tannen 408) Her expression of the American gender roles is very simple‚ masculinity among men and femininity among women‚ even something as direct as communication.
