Hills Like White Elephants by Ernest Hemingway

. Ernest Hemingway’s stories are often written from the dramatic third person point of view. This means that the stories are in third person which means that there is no “I” voice and that all of the pronouns used are “he,” “she,” “they,” etc. There are then different kinds of third person point of views. The omniscient third person point of view is one in which not only the speech and action of the characters is known, but their inner thoughts as well.

Dramatic third person point of view means that the author DOES NOT reveal what the characters are thinking, only their actions and their speech, just as if the characters were in a play on a stage. If you’ve ever seen a real play production, you’ll remember that you never heard the thoughts of the characters, only what they said out loud, either to other characters or to themselves, but it was actual speech. What are the effects of Hemingway’s use of the dramatic third person point of view in this story? How does this point of view affect our perception of the characters and what’s taking place between them? Come up with at least three distinct effects of this third person point of view on the story and discuss them.

Reading Synthesis The course material has been designed in such a way that readings complement each other, and can be put in conversation with one another. You will be required to write one reading synthesis during the semester, that discusses and integrates the arguments from 2-3 readings from one week (this cannot include more than one chapter from Petersen’s book). This assignment is your chance to delve deeper into the material and demonstrate you understand how different sources can be synthesized to inform a broader thesis. This assignment is not simply a summary of these articles, but instead, you will summarize the main findings and put them in conversation with each other. How does reading one give greater clarity or more information to build on when reading it with the other? Are the authors claiming different things, and if so, does one seem more compelling than the other? Why? How do these readings further your understanding of gender in the context of this course? The readings synthesis should be 1,000 words in length, double spaced, with 1” margins, 12 point font.

Gender Influence on Health

Gender Influence on Health

 

Paper details:

Societies give different cultural meanings to being male and being female. This gender differentiation functions as an organizing principle for communities. An example is the division of labor between men & women. This clear division is seen both in the homes and in the wider communities. “While the specific nature of gender relations varies among societies, the general pattern is that women have less personal autonomy, fewer resources at their disposal, and limited influence over the decision-making processes that shape their societies and their own lives. That said, women have lower mortality rates than men, longer life expectancy and greater morbidity.

Family Partnerships

Structural Factors

This Discussion Board assignment (both original post and a reply to a classmate’s original post) Discussion Board original posts should be approximately 500-700 words in length (or a little longer is fine) and must incorporate specific examples and concepts and citations with page numbers (when possible) from the lectures, readings, and/or videos from the week. This week’s course materials expanded upon the topics of inequality and inequity within education, especially structural factors that have caused or exacerbated these problems. Citing the MacLeod reading, at least one of Dr. Nakagawa’s lessons/lectures, and at least two of the supplemental readings, please answer the following questions in a few paragraphs: Compare and contrast Gates & Agee from Hoop Dreams with the young men from Ain’t No Makin’ It. How does the educational system operate in helping/hindering Gates & Agee in comparison to the Hallway Hangers and the Brothers? What role could or should sports play in schooling? Some policy makers have proposed that everyone should be able to get a college degree. Would this result in less inequality in income or a closing of the income gap? What reforms in higher education might make sense to result in more access & equity? What level of discipline is needed and appropriate at different levels of schooling? How should adminstrators use out-of-school suspensions, if at all? Recently-passed legislation bills in Arizona (SB 1099 [2017]) allows schools to request funds to hire more safety officers and allow juvenile probation officers to be located at the school site. Given this week’s readings, what effects might this have on different student populations?
