In Why Women Still Can’t Have it all, Slaughter’s primary argument focuses on the seemingly unattainable balance between a woman’s ability to continue having a high-level profile job while keeping a stable family life. This issue comes up due to the intense time demand of each task, and whether being there for your children is more important than keeping a high level professional job. Slaughter speaks about this issue with certain examples from Washington D.C., but also includes personal examples.

Displayed in the first chapter of Drown, “Ysreal”, numerous examples providing the generalization of the No Face adjective are exposed, telling the horrific story of an monster with no identity. Many facts are learned about No Face but none of those facts included his name (other than the title) or his best attributes, they were all hideous and bluntly exposed physical traumas and actions No Face did or what had happened to him. Those were the
