    Rex Walls was the father of Lori, Jeannette, Brian, and Maureen and the husband of Rose Mary Walls. Not only was Rex “an alcoholic genius who kept his family in bizarrely abject poverty” (Wineke) but he was also a magnificent electrician and spent most of his time sketching blueprints for future plans. He was extremely prideful and often needed reassurance of his capability as a provider to his family. Although Rex was a loving father, he was often absent in his children’s lives. He couldn't stand the thought of not being self-supported and was so fraught with paranoia that he spent the majority of his life “doing the skedaddle” (Walls 19) with his family and avoiding bill collectors.…

    Throughout history, mulattoes have been highly glorified and fetishized. Slave masters enjoyed having mulattoes in their homes to not only flaunt their wealth and status, but also because they were captivated by their charming beauty. Many masters would cheat on their wives with mulattoes and they, the mulattoes, would in turn end up pregnant. Whether or not the pregnant mulatto was thrown out of the house was up to how strong the master and his wife’s marriage was and the wife’s overall authoritative status in the household.

    Essay On Sexism

    In our society today, there are still many techniques of discrimination that one would think had been eradicated years ago. One of these techniques is sexism, which is the act of prejudice, stereotyping, and/or intolerance on the basis of gender. Sexism has taken control over the way people think and it affects the job industry, government decisions, the media, and unfortunately, education. Children begin to experience sexism at a young age, typically in elementary school. An example of a subliminal sexist message that they might experience would be a teacher scolding a female student for acting in an unorthodox fashion that does not fit the ‘calm, respectful, and neat’ stereotype for girls, but then excusing the same actions of a male student, using the overused, disgusting statement ‘boys will be boys.’…
