While reading "The Sandwich Generation: Rising Financial Burdens for Middle-Aged Americans" by Kim Parker I found it interesting how she not only compared the financial stress of being in this generation, but also the emotional support that is needed in this situation as well. The financial aspect I found it interesting how 41 percent of sandwich generation say they live comfortable. I expected it to be less since having two support three generations in the house hold. In all the cases though it states a sandwich generation member that has a parent of 65 and at least one child over 18. This makes me think of all the sandwich generations that have more than one child over 18 plus younger ones.

Generally, every person goes through a phase of figuring out who they are and where they belong. Cisneros illustrated what it’s like to question your sense of belonging through Esperanza in the House on Mango Street and through the main speaker in the Woman Hollering Creek. Both of the characters crave to fit in and find their place in life.
Men are unable to function in the extremely high pressure situations that women try to put them in, such as helping out in the kitchen or cleaning the house. In “Lost in the Kitchen” by Dave Barry, these incapabilities are highlighted and ridiculed by Barry in order to put a comedic spin on the situation. The use of different resources of language such as stereotypes, hyperboles, and comparisons all support the main point that men are subpar in the kitchen compared to their female compatriots. Throughout “Lost in the Kitchen”, Barry speaks of the kitchen as if it contains its own consciousness, a place where women are unparalleled and reign dominant over men. The kitchen seems to be described as a trap of sorts, and he states that he would not have a preference between landing a nuclear aircraft or going into that foreign domain.
It's sort of a no-brainier to presume that the coverlets in "Regular Use" symbolize family legacy. They were carefully assembled by the storyteller, her sister, and her mom, and they're included apparel worn by eras of relatives. Gracious, better believe it—and on top of that, one of the story's fundamental characters turns out and for all intents and purposes reveals to us that they speak to legacy. Yet, we should not stop there (what fun would that be?).
While reading this case study there were some things that I found similar and different about the two companies. Ella’s Kitchen and Viacom Brand Solutions (VBS) are alike because both companies showed foresight in identifying how to tackle their respective issues (Eagle, Dahl, Czarnecka, and Lloyd, 110).

Lost for words As a child, we tend to appreciate the time we spend with our family. They were our first bond and the example of a role model that we wanted to follow as we get older. Unfortunately, sometimes, as we age, some moments in our life can take a turn for the worst, which create childhood traumas. That’s when our perspective changes for a loved one. In “Simple recipes”, Madeleine Thien showcases how living in a loving family can change in an instant.
She encourages the members of her audience to be a mentor to someone who is different from them, and who does not have the same opportunities as them (Abdel-Magied, 9:56). Everyone has the tendency to gravitate towards those similar as themselves, she acknowledges (Abdel-Magied, 10:00). But by finding someone with a completely different background than you, you can create opportunities for them that were not there before. Many times we don’t even realize that others lack the opportunities that we have (Abdel-Magied, 10:35-10:45).
