In the essay, “The Men We Carry in Our Minds”, Scott Russell Sanders discusses his perspective on men in comparison to the impression that women carry in their minds. Sanders uses a unique way of writing through narration and life experiences to truly illustrate his point that the impressions of men or women are based on ones own life experiences. As a young boy knowing only of the hardships of workingmen, Sanders later experiences drastic social differences when he receives a scholarship to attend a university “meant for the children of the

Chiseled in stone yet standing high upon the apogee of a mountain, a sexually seductive sovereign can be found. Though supposedly neither human nor god, he remains just barely within arm’s reach of the rays of divine sunlight. He is unwavering both in his alluring, dominant stance and his brutal authority, especially compared to his enemies, one which lays mercilessly beneath his firm feet, with a spear gutting his neck. With all eyes looking in his trajectory, his gaze focuses high above anyone else. His body is striking and his power

Ambition, human nature shows that men inherently put their own self above others. He does not look at this as a flaw, but as something to be accepted since it cannot be changed. Humans are not angels, and that is the reason we need a government.

Humans are defined by their behavior. They act as they see others act, and they judge when they see others judge. Clarence Hervey is conceited, and is constantly looking for others who act the same way, not to encounter, but to avoid. Clarence is a man who seems to be made only with attitude. Clarence’s change in action, shows the power that Belindas appearance has over him.

By using his inner confidence, he was able to admire his arms, face, shoulders, flanks, and buttocks through the reflection of the mirror and with his insight he is able to become the “happy genius of my household”

Universal Theme/Moral Message: The Universal Theme is Jealousy, and the moral message is to never give up, no matter what. Jealousy is the Universal Theme because of Hera. Hera was jealous of Hercules being a reminder that Zeus cheated on her with Alcmene. She was angry at him for quite a while. At one point, she was so angry that she decided to make Hercules kill his wife Mergara (the daughter of King Kreo) and their children. She interfered with his life just because of her jealousy problems. After that, Hercules was deemed as insane, so he completed the 12 labors. When he finished all the labors, Hera got in his way again by sending violent storms, and by making his boat sail vigorously. But, in the end, when Hercules ascended to Olympus,

There is a cliché quote that people say, “Beauty is in the eye of beholder.” But in the essay “The Ugly Truth About Beauty” (1998) Dave Barry argues about how women who spend countless hours on their so called “beauty” whereas men seem not to care. Barry uses juxtaposition and exaggeration to poke fun at men and women behavior and shed light on the harm that the beauty industry is doing. When Barry argues his point of his essay he addresses both genders, but more specifically teenage to middle age men and women, but he writes about it in a humorous and light-hearted manner.

Paternal superiority has always been an important factor in society. Paternal superiority is when the male is the dominant character and feels like he has the upper hand compared to anyone, especially females. Males often feel like they are the dominant sex because they are assumed to be stronger than females. Since the formation of organized society, males have been in charge. Males also do not have the same standard way of acting in society. In history, men have always had more freedom than women have. This has made women seem like they are not as important as the males. This is how society has been brought up; the males have continually been in control. Although the modern reader can infer that Bronte was exaggerating male authority, she is actually reflecting the time period of the Victorian Era.

He was looked at with great admiration for about half the evening, till his manners gave a disgust which turned the tide of his popularity; for he was discovered to be proud, to be above his company, and above being pleased; and not all his large estate in Derbyshire could then save him from having a most forbidding, disagreeable countenance, and being unworthy to be compared with his friend.

When a new male becomes part of the pride it is not unusual for him to kill all the cubs, ensuring that all future cubs will have his genes. The main job of males in the pride is defending the pride's territory. A male's loud roar, usually heard after sunset, can carry for as far as five miles (eight kilometers). The roar warns off intruders and helps round up stray members of the
