Recognize That You Are Acting Like A Victim Most people get trapped into believing that they 'are' a victim instead of recognizing the fact that they 'choose' to be a victim. We can all make…

I have chosen to look at the article entitled ‘Would you like to tidy up now?’ which is an analysis of adult questioning in the English Foundation Stage authored by Siraj-Blatchford and Manni, 2008. I chose to review this article as it delves into the Early Years sector, and this is of particular interest to me as I enjoy learning about the ways young children learn and develop. Therefore, I would be able to discuss a topic of interest to me. In this essay I will provide a summary of the article…

Throughout both the film Tootsie and Shakespeare’s As You Like It, the idea of gender crossover is used, and while the idea of gender itself is examined, this crossover’s affect on love relationships is the main focus. Both Michael Dorsey and Rosalind, the protagonists of their respects works, pretend for a short time to be the opposite gender. Both are also in love with someone who, for the time being, is the same gender as they are – Michael falls in love in his disguise, while Rosalind…

in a different way compared to the present day. Throughout Shakespearian times women were seen and not heard. In many of Shakespeare’s plays he breaks the barrier of gender roles and pushes new boundaries on his audience.

Totally like whatever, you know?

She is directing this piece towards the young people of today, in hopes of altering our way of conversation. The poem displays cultural references by comparing the diction of adults to todays youth.

As a girl, the phrases, “you play like a girl” or “you’re a girl, you can’t do that” have always been words that are casually just thrown around, yet it causes flames to come out of my ears. Starting when I was about three, I was a sporty kid always running around. I liked to play soccer with the boys teams, since they were much more physical and would roughly push each other on the hard ground rather complaining when a nail got broken, or hair got pulled.
