For some people trying new things is not what they want to do in their free time they prefer to stay in their comfort zone, But for me it's different. I love to do new things and get others to do it with me. A way to do this is to try to see their feelings through their eyes into their heart and words to know that person as well as you can. To get them to try new things. This happened between my Grandma Penny,Buffy and me. My Grandma Penny died of cancer a few years back but I will never forget the lesson she taught me and and how much she cared for me.

    Gender roles seem to have been written in stone from the beginning of time, wherein men are expected to remain resourceful leaders who arrange and execute decisions, as well as provide for their families. Women, on the other hand, are expected to obediently listen to their husbands and nurture children and cook for the family. These roles, however definite in the 1900s, shift between genders as circumstances grow demanding and difficult in John Steinbeck’s novel, The Grapes of Wrath, following the Joad family’s arduous journey to California during the Great Depression. As the Joads elude the dry devastation in Oklahoma, an apparent displacement of authority in the family arises, revealing the ideal adaptive and survival capabilities…

I didn’t have a single clue where it was that we were going.…
