A Young Girl Reading

are underrepresented in the area of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematical (STEM) related careers. According to research, girls should be encouraged to pursue their interests, find mentors, and collaborate with others in the areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. In light of these findings, I presented a booktalk to a group of girls ages 15- 19 on six books in which the main characters are strong women who have a special interest or talent in STEM related subjects

example of a girl in seventh grade who thinks crop-tops are cute to illustrate this idea (Haslanger, 71). This example plays an important role in explaining Haslanger's argument and in highlighting a puzzle that arises. The seventh grade girl believes that crop-tops are cute because other girls believe the same thing (Haslanger, 71). On the other hand, the parents of this seventh grader do not think that crop-tops are cute, rather, they believe that such tops sexualize girls at a young age and are

the small, impoverished village to see if there is anything he could do to repay them. While touring the village, Mortenson notices a group of girls sitting in the dirt. While talking with them, he realizes that they are trying to write words in the dirt, but they do not know that many because they have never been educated. Later, Mortenson learns that girls in the village are not allowed to go to school, even though they want to get an education. These forces them to either work long hours for their

hundreds of other writers and has faced a number of different twists and turns, occasionally facing a whole new plot and outlook. For example, after reading Perrault’s version and “The Company of Wolves” by Angela Carter, the reader is able to conclude that even though both stories are different, they contain some forms of similarities as well. After reading through Charles Perrault’s version of “Little Red Riding Hood”, it is fair to state that he creates a pretty clear moral at the end of his story

Jews. However, this is not the only movie that gives us an insight in the life of a young girl during World War II. The Book Thief is in many ways similar to The Diary of Anne Frank in which the viewer is provided the experiences of the war between two very different young girls that have to adapt to a new home and possess an increasing hunger for knowledge. Both movies revolve around the lives of two young girls living in Germany during World War II. In The Book Thief, we are introduced to the

people is if beauty pageants are corrupt for younger girls, and Skip Hollandsworth makes some very strong arguments that they very much are. His main focus in the text is on Eden Wood, a 6-year-old girl from Taylor, Arkansas. We learn that Eden’s mother spends countless hours on shopping for expensive dresses, makeup, wigs and manicured fingernails. One large point that comes to my mind when reading this: money. Parents of so called “pageant girls” can spend upwards of $75,000 a year on his hobby

observed twelve children in a classroom environment. This daycare is a local daycare in my hometown, Bryan, TX. During this visit, I learned a lot of new information, how and why children communicate. The classroom consisted of about twelve young boys and girls ranging from the ages of two years old through five years old. This classroom was not diverse. There were only ten African Americans, and two of the children were mixed with African American and White. There were two daycare staff workers,

hand, the media consumption rate of 2- to 6-year-old girls has been associated with obesity as well as being overweight (Rodgers, 2017). It has been found that children as young as 2-years-old can spend up to as much as 6 hours a day exposed to television or some form of the mass media (Dohnt, 2006). This reveals that now children are consuming media at an earlier age and in higher amounts. Besides this, in the age range of 7- to 9-year-old girls, the relationship between media exposure and positive

there are several, first baptism, first communion, confirmation. Judaism does not fall behind on coming of age ceremonies. One of the most important coming of age ceremonies for a young Jew is a known as a Bar mitzvah. Bar mitzvah or Bat mitzvah translates to “son (daughter) of commandment. This means that the young individual becomes responsible to observe the commandments (mizvot) of the Torah. The

We’ve done quite a few readings from different time periods such as American Romanticism, American Feminism and Post Colonialism. For this paper, I am going to compare and contrast 2 readings, Young Good Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne and “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid. Hawthorne’s writing is from the American Romanticism week and “Girl” is from the Post Colonialism week. From my understanding and interpretations, the two of these readings share common themes such as public perception, gender roles, for
