Sawyer, and one female, Brooke. After conducting my interview I have a better understanding of topics that students are not clear on and would benefit from more instruction.

During my interview, I asked Sawyer and Brooke about famous people in history. Both students were able to rattle off a list of famous men in our history. They

World War II was a time of heroes, a time when people faced their fears and fought for their countries. These soldiers are commemorated, and will always be heroes. Espionage agents were heroes as well. They risked their lives to help their country just as much any soldier. While espionage was in no way a new idea when World War II occurred, the new technology and tactics of a worldwide war created an environment from which espionage could bloom. The British led this venture with the MI5 and MI6,

Misogyny is not only visible in the Miller’s tale, but also in the Wife of Bath’s tale through the very superficial standards set for women by men. The old woman asks that the knight marries her in return for giving him the answer to the riddle and he reacts in disgust and horror, “‘...to take me as your wife…‘Alas and woe is me!...I am ugly and poor…my damnation! Alas, that any of my birth should ever be so foully disgraced!” (Chaucer, “The Wife of Bath’s Tale,” 199-213). The knight is visibly distraught

In “Of the Pernicious Effects Which Arise from the Unnatural Distinctions Established in Society” by Mary Wollstonecraft she discusses the inequality of women in our society.

As we studied in the previous unit, the American Dream is the idea that everybody is equal to each other and people can live their lives to the fullest. I also believed that this dream was for Americans only. However, after realizing that other countries and cultures had heard of how great life in America is, they wanted to be part of the American Dream as well. These immigrants took action by entering the U.S. through Ellis Island, which used to be the main hub for all foreigners to apply for ability

Chopin exhibits her views about women in her stories. The relationship between men and women in Kate Chopin's stories imply the attitudes that men and women portray. In many of Chopin's works, the idea that women's actions are driven by the men in the story reveals that men are oppressive and dominant and women are vulnerable, gullable and sensitive. Chopin also shows that females, like Desiree and Eleanor, undergo a transformation from dependent and weak to stronger women free from their husbands by

will say that women are equal to men and should have careers, social life’s, and their place is no longer merely in the home. Submissive, quaint Desdemona from the Shakespeare play Othello is a prime example of the “ideal wife” for that time.
