- 2421: Gender Communication
- ... men and women in some of my relationships. For example, I may say to my husband, "I feel that it is unfair that you get to set back and watch t.v. while I clean house." "When you get a chance I think you need to help me." Using words like think and feel do not register as well with the male gender as with females. Men need facts, and direct orders to clearly understand what is really being asked of them. When I asked my husband to help me with the house, in his eyes he never had a chance because the game on t.v. lasted several hours. When I spoke more directly, with a commanding voice rather than a polite request, and gave a set ...
- 2422: Ethan Frome
- ... did was complain, and he resented this because it stifled his growing soul. Since his wife was continuously ill, and her cousin needed a place to stay, they took her in to help around the house. Ethan took an immediate liking to her cousin, Mattie, because she brought a bright light upon his dismal day. He seemed to have found someone that cared for him, was always happy, and could share ... failure. Ethan's second failure was not being able to stand up for himself against his wife. Zeena claimed that a new doctor said that she was extremely sick, and needed more help around the house. She told him, without any discussion, that Mattie had to go. Ethan could not find the words to make her alter her decision. His wife also decided that Mattie had to leave the next day ...
- 2423: Rich's "Living in Sin": An Analysis
- ... alone makes the bed, dusts the tabletop, and sets the coffee on the stove. The portrait of her miserable life contrasts sharply with that of her lover. While she struggles with the endless monotony of house chores, he loafs around, carefree and relaxed. During her monotonous morning routine, the man flippantly goes "out for cigarettes." Although he too notices the problems in the house, he satisfies himself with merely complaining. Rather than taking action and tuning the piano, the man merely "declare[s] it out of tune, [and] shrug[s]" indifferently. The woman does not even control her home ...
- 2424: Emily Dickenson And the Theme of Death
- ... in the night, Death comes to pick the narrator up in a carriage. Like a gentleman, he then waits for her patiently, like he was taking her out on a date. "We paused before a House that seemed A Swelling of the Ground-- The Roof was scarcely visible-- Since then--'Tis Centuries--and yet Feels shorter than the Day I first surmised the Horses Heads Were toward Eternity--" The "House that seemed/ A swelling of the ground--" is obviously a coffin, or some other burial vessel. In the next stanza, the narrator tells us that she has been waiting for centuries; It appears that she ...
- 2425: William Faulkner
- ... to the New South. All we know is that she lives in Jefferson, but we can assume it is in the South for a couple of reasons. The first clue is the style of her house. It was a big, squarish frame house that had once been white, decorated with cupolas and spires and scrolled balconies in the heavily lightsome style of the seventies (Faulkner Rose 502). Another dead giveaway is that Miss Emily had a black servant ...
- 2426: Middlemarchvpride And Prejudic
- ... with emphasis on obedience. "A woman dictates before marriage in order that she might have an appetite for submission afterwards". The woman's role was to serve her husband, to entertain him, to adorn his house much like a bunch of flowers or a painting. Lydgate sought in his wife "that distinctive womanhood which must be classed with flowers and music". Sir James insisted that his wife become a perfect horsewoman ... Dorothea believes that she has gained her liberty through marriage with Causabon, however the marriage is a device by which she is further oppressed. George Eliot parallels Dorothea's situation with the landscape and the house she shares with Causabon. "The narrowed landscape, the shrunken furniture, the never read books" tell us that Dorothea becomes aware of the true nature of her situation and begins to realise that instead of gaining ...
- 2427: Origin Of Musical Instruments
- ... sound, and with musical instruments of God" (1Chron. 16:42). We are told that Heman had fourteen sons and three daughters. And "all these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of the Lord, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the king's order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman. So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the Lord, even all that were cunning ...
- 2428: “A Dog Is A Man’s Best Friend.
- ... problem, or if someone closed a door blocking access to the litter box. Cats do have claws, and owners must make provision for this. A tall scratching post in a favorite cat area of the house will often keep the cat content to leave the furniture alone. As a last resort, of course, cats can be declawed. If this is done however, proper precautions must be maintained afterwards that the cats ... self-preservation and protection. Lastly, one of the most attractive features of cats as housepets is their ease of care. Cats do not have to be walked. They will get plenty of exercise in the house as they play. They do their business in the litter box, eliminating the only other reason for needing to be walked. Cleaning a litter box is a quick, painless procedure. There are even completely disposable ...
- 2429: Teenagers Wasting 2.3 Million
- ... lack of respect for them. True, some things were made better, but our environments are ruined. We HAVE to live up to societies standards because it’s just wrong if we don’t have a house or car. No one has lived for fun ever. Maybe Generation X is trying to change things, and this outburst of “disrespect” is the first step. A lot of us think “Why are we living ... catch up to the one ahead?” I personally would like to live every single minute of everyday to the fullest, letting my emotions control me instead of the “dream” I should have to get a house with clean dishes in the cupboards, working everyday so I can pay the bills the next. Maybe Generation X thoughts might not be so bad after all. The baby boomers, “peace, love and folk rockers ...
- 2430: Film Score Music
- ... films in the years to come. By this time the music was ceasing to be merely and extra job for Vaudeville musicians and had actually become an art that needed and was given thought. The house musician, which later became a small ensemble and sometimes even a large orchestra, was a valued addition to the movie industry and they could be found in hundreds of movie houses across America. It was from this point on that films were to always be accompanied by some sort of music. The house musician remained in movie houses for many years, however they eventually disappeared to make way for the recorded film score, known as a “ talkie” or “canned music”. The 1930's was the time that saw ...
