Andrea’s Coming of Age For the thousands of years that humans have been living on earth, a vast majority of that time, we have been hunter-gathers. In the traditional Native American culture, the men went out and hunted for food while the women stayed home and cooked, took care of the family, and made clothes. It was the woman’s role in society to take care of the family and make sure the house was running smoothly. In contrast, it was the male’s sole job to protect and feed their family.
Lisa Wade's American Hookup is an insightful read that focuses on sexual lives of young adults in America today. Lisa wade book is based on data gathered via her own interviews with college students she had in her classes, and on other results from researchers. The data offers both an interesting and worrying picture of the culture and feelings of college students of today. Much of the author's major purpose to focus on the fun sexual freedom of hooking up and how it goes against gender equality in which there are double standards for men and women. Although the media like to emphasize the crazy sex culture of college students Wade talks about how students today are less happy and healthy than in previous generations.

Angier compares and contrast men and women’s sexual life preferences and what they desire in opposite gender while on their hunt for a mate.

Finally, Danforth allowed people, he knew were innocent, to be hanged. As the story went on, Danforth was starting to believe less and less what the girls were saying about the witches. But Danforth was too worried about his reputation to say that the accused were not guilty. In Act IV, Danforth said, “Twelve already executed: the names of these seven are give out, and the village expects to see them die this morning. Postponement now speaks a floundering on my part..”
In the essay, Love’s Vocabulary, Diane Ackerman uses an analogy to describe a batik to support her ideas about love not being monotone or uniform. In the analogy, Ackerman explains how a batik can represent love by claiming, “Like a batik created from many emotional colors, it is fabric whose pattern and brightness may vary.” This demonstrates how the analogy supports the perspective of Ackerman. Ackerman uses an analogy since the analogy is more descriptive and is more supportive of the ideas she has. The figurative language compares the idea of love not being monotone or uniform to the batik.

In my opinion, I consider the play mainly support the idea of marriage as business, however, in some part as pleasure. I will analysis it from the play and also make compare of today’s idea of marriage. The play reveals the portrayal of marriage during the late Victorian era. During that time period, a marriage states was a business deal or a contract made for money and power accompany with the rule of a marriage will be permitted if the couple intending to marry belonged to the same class. It is the strict class system in that time and it perpetuates the gap between the upper, middle and lower classes.
As promoted by the traditional commercials, men look for women with raven-like hair, emerald eyes, and a slender figure (Browne 39). The Victorian traditions encouraged women to maintain slim bodies and maintain long hair. Such a tradition prevails today as most of the men view slender women as attractive; hence, their preference for dating slender women to voluptuous ones (Sharp & Keyton 17-19). Conversely, the author claims that women want handsome, chisel-chinned CEOs looking forward to marry and have children after long romantic dating (Browne 39). Such an ideology conforms to the traditional postulations of physical traits of masculinity and the capacity of a man as the provider (Gaines 80-81).
Marriage in the 1700s and 1800s was judged by those closest to and the society that surrounded the couple which caused great strain within families. Both novels consult the idea of suitable matches and how love was valued above money and status. In an era filled with deep class prejudice, it was easier to marry someone from your own class as a woman since marrying below it was deeply frowned upon while marrying above provided its own issues which are explored in Pamela. If a woman did not have a substantial dowry, such as money or property, potential husbands from good families were unlikely. Pamela, for example, was an educated girl but yet she was still a servant with a family that has little to offer due to her father’s declined fortunes.
It is evident that marriage is full of ups and downs, but the way couples manage these fluctuations in their relationship determines the strength of their connection. Both partners in a committed relationship must feel the same way and work equally as hard to push through potential obstacles. Being devoted to the relationship can ensure that the marriage will be able to survive the hardships and maintain a healthy, successful marriage. The emotional hardships and positives that a married couple endures on a daily basis are presented throughout the entirety of the poem, “Marriage”, by Gregory Corso. Corso’s poem explores the pressures and factors that influence marriage and sheds light on Updike’s short story about a couple facing divorce.
The relationship between the setting and character are very important to the development of any form of writing,it makes everything seem more realistic. A great example would be a selection of Ann Petry’s in the novel ,The Street. Through the use of vivid imagery, personification, and the great selection of detail Petry is able to convey the reader to the establishment of Lutie Johnson's relationship with the urban setting. In this selection Petrys use of imagery is able to give the reader a vivid image of the first encounter between Johnson and the urban setting and the type of relationship they form as she walks through 116th street.

Dating. It has always been a major aspect of the American lifestyle. From depicting relationships in magazines, to major Hollywood productions, to comic books, dating is everywhere. Dating itself has evolved, modernized and redefined itself after each passing generation. From the days where a woman 's hand in marriage was traded for land and property to the Tinder hookups of today, dating is nothing like it used to be.
"Why does the way in which a man treat me feel directly related to my sex and not my person?" is a question that I always ask myself. Living in New York City has made it all the more clear that men are just looking for casual sex and ambiguous relations despite my constant reiteration that I 'm not looking for friends with benefits or just sex. When did it become the norm to expect sex on the first or second date, and then to hastily slip away post-coital? Yet, not before promising to text me back or asking me to hang out a second time, and then to never hear from you again. I have so many qualms with today 's dating culture, markedly how dating has become so casual that it is the equivalent to just "hanging out.
