Guy’s Don’t Have Emotion

“Hey David, it 's me. Are you still coming over tonight to spend the night with me?” my friend Kevin asked.

I glanced anxiously at my mother who had heard the call, and I reassured my answer with her. “Yes, I should be there around 7:00.”

I ran upstairs to my room to finish packing for the night. Toothbrush, toothpaste, clean clothes for the next day, and I was all ready to go. I looked over at my Winnie the Pooh stuffed bear, and initially reached for it, but hesitated. Remembering the last cruel encounter I had with my friend about my bear, I left him on my bed, waiting for me to return. I was very excited about tonight, but I was also very nervous.

I left my house around 6:45 p.m. Although he lived just around the corner, the walk down the street and curiously examining my surroundings always fascinated me. I watched as owners walked their dogs, parents pushed their children in strollers, and fathers played catch with a baseball with their children. My mother had not come with me, as she trusted me to walk by myself.

When I arrived at my friend 's house, I was greeted by his mother who informed me that Kevin was upstairs in his room, and that I could leave my shoes and bag by the door. I did as I was told, climbed the stairs, made a right, and found myself in my friends room.

He had just bought the movie I Am Legend and wanted to watch it with me. The main character has a German Shepard as a pet, and they adventure together throughout the entire movie, until his dog becomes infected, and the main character has no choice but to put him down. Instantly, I started crying. I wish I had brought my bear, but I didn’t want to be made fun of anymore. Nothing else was worse to me than seeing an animal die in a movie. I glanced at my friend to see if he was as affected as I was, but he seemed to be enjoying the fact that I was upset. “Why are you not crying?” I asked

    For many parents, the birth of a new child brings joy and glee. However for my father, I was a burden made by his late-night illegal activities. West Englewood is an area many people have not heard of - it’s tucked inside the southwest side of Chicago. During the day, the people of Englewood would wake up to the smell and sound of gunshots and burning tyres. Police officers would parade the streets in their well-ironed uniforms and the alleys would be covered with bright and colourful graffiti of sayings and images, which I didn’t understand at the time.…

    In ¨Talking to Boys the Way We Talk to Girls¨ Andrew Reiner describes how the way parents treat and talk to their children based on gender affects the way men and women embrace their emotions in the future. Reiner claims that men are inherently forced to suppress their emotions starting at a young age, while women are more in touch with their emotions because parents were more accepting of girls expressing their feelings. Between physical affection and verbal affection, boys do not receive the same amount or type as girls do. This permanently affects the way that each gender interprets how expressing emotion is socially acceptable. Reiner uses examples of real life situations and proof from research to educate the audience of the root of this problem.…
