one you love is by far the truest type of love” (Unknown). In every relationship someone sacrifices something for the happiness of the other. In “The Gift of the Magi” by O.

People make a lot of sacrifices to keep their relationship. Sacrifices aren’t made in just relationships, they are also made in families. For example, a…

is always a time and need for sacrifice. Sacrifice is important in maintaining a good, loving relationship because you can’t always both be happy. A sacrifice shows your love toward someone and that you are willing to put that person in a better position than yourself. “Oranges” by Gary Soto, and “Gift of the Magi” by O.

Women can’t have it all! It turns out that neither can men despite what Slaughter would have you to believe. Both Slaughter and Dorment discuss the division of leadership in terms of gender, however, they have incredibly different beliefs on who or what is to blame for this apparent gap. Slaughter blames men and the systems that men have created while Dorment claims that a lack of drive and personal responsibility is limiting women to their current status.
