Gender had different expectations in Umuofia because masculinity was strongly believed. For example‚ men were taught at a young age that he has to be tough and to work hard in order to raise a family in contrast‚ women were taught to cook and to take care of the children. Nwoye and Ezinma were treated differently by their father Okonkwo. Okonkwo wanted Nwoye to be more masculine since Nwoye would rather play with the other kids or listen to his mother’s stories.

In “Waiting for Godot” by Samuel Beckett and “Chronicles of a Death Foretold” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez‚ the reader is presented with an un-orthodox beginning of story in both novels. While Beckett’s play starts with the antithesis of a usual opening line “Nothing to be done”‚ Marquez’s novel does the same “On the day they were going to kill him‚ Santiago Nasar” thus condemning the novel to a foretold destiny.

“The Role of Women in the Book of Genesis” Women had different social roles back in the time of Genesis compared to today. The Old Testament depicts them as almost secondary beings to men.

These stories depict women

I have seen TV shows related to healthcare and most of them don’t even have roles for nurses. Shows like house‚ Scrubs‚ Greys Anatomy‚ and general hospital are mostly about doctors. These prime time programs seem to neglect the nurse as a vital member of the healthcare team. Nurses make appearances but in the background roles; used as butt of jokes for the doctors‚ and the roles are primarily played by beautiful women.
