My grandmother gave me bad advice and good advice when I was in my early teens. For the bad advice, she said that I should becom

e a barber because they made good money and listened to the radio all day. “Honey, they don’t work como burros,” she would say every time I visited her. She made the sound of donkeys braying. “Like that, honey!” For the good advice, she said that I should marry a Mexican girl. “No Okies, hijo”—she would say— “Look, my son. He marry one and they fight every day about I don’t know what and I don’t know what.” For her, everyone who wasn’t Mexican, black, or Asian were Okies. The French were Okies, the Italians in suits were Okies. . . . she lectured me on the virtues of the Mexican girl. The complex narrative structure used in the excerpt is an example of

This excerpt is an example of a flashback. As readers, we know within the first sentence of the passage that its contents happened in the past. We learn this from the narrator telling us that it happened in his "early teens", implying that he is no longer in his early teens. The use of a flashback such as this briefly discontinues the plot structure, but often gives valuable information that enhances the reader's understanding of the story.

‘Nowadays there should be no differences in the ways that boys and girls are raised
uysha [10]

Answer:

While I don’t believe this should be debate in a school setting (no matter the grade) because this is a serious thing for most people, I think that they should be taught and raised the same.

       Evry child, boy or girl,should have the same resources and upbringing asone another. I get that there are some sensitive topics that are reserved for one one rather than the other however, teaching these things to both can reduce insensitivity toward the other. If they understand it better they won’t make fun of it as much. This is similar to the Dunning-Kruger effect. People who have less ability at something only judge others rather than themselves. For example, only girls learning about certain hygiene and other facts are helpful and can make then feel more comfortable talking about it. However, boys make fun of/teasse girls when they go throught those things often because they dont go throught it or dont understand it.

      Some kids can’t have the same upbring based on their parents or other causes, may it be economic or domestic, however in public (places like schools or daycares) we should still teach the same values. Every kid should know right from wrong, to be kind and helpful and how to properly express themselves.

AHH I'm sorry I forgot I had an appointment. This is 213 words, I didn't have time to proofread as I went. Hope this helps at the very least!
