    In the Three Ravens, Melanie was first introduced as Tom’s wife being the youngest daughter of a wealthy Jewish family from Dallas, who had a connoisseur's knowledge of the finer things in life. Tom’s wife character was shaped as the caring, loving, knowledgeable mother of two twins who had natural skills in the kitchen. Girardi showed this clearly in the part where Tom came home drunk, “She had weaned him from it slowly, with a sure maternal hand. Without her, Tom sometimes thought, he would have ended up an alcoholic, one of those pathetic men who performed adequately at the office every day but drank a six-pack of tall boys and passed out in front of the television set at home every night. ”(39)…

In my post I chose to compare and contrast Mary Rowlandson, John Smith, St. John de Crevecoeur and avoided William Bradford because like you I found his writing difficult to follow. I found Mary’s story interesting as well, her descriptions about her capture and imprisonment were vivid and striking in their straightforwardness. She leaves little doubt about her thoughts and feelings about the "merciless heathens" (Rowlandson, 74-75) who abducted her.…

    The Relationship of Gender and Vocation in the 19th century novel Women and men in 19th century society occupied separate spheres since it was believed that the sexes have different physical and mental characteristics. Men belonged in the outside world or the public sphere, “where they could use their capacity for logical thought to best effect” (Rowbotham). Women, on the other hand, according to Rowbotham, were expected to belong to “the more passive, private sphere of the household and home where their inborn emotional talents would serve them best”. Physicians and anthropologists justified this division further by saying that if women were to mentally exert themselves like men, “women would divert the supply of blood and phosphates from…
