Answer:

Olsen's story takes place in the most ordinary of settings: a mother, at home, ironing. As the story develops, this generic setting starts to take on specific characteristics. It is focused on a working class home in the 1950's in America. During the Depression years, many single, working mothers struggled with a lack of social services and financial support. Looking at the mere title of this story conveys the dullness in the lives of women in america at the time. The historical context of the story sets an orthodox tone, and a basis for a stirring revolution to bring liveliness into the lives of women during the great depression.

Do you personally believe that schools kill creativity?
Mrrafil [7]

I believe that it does uniform-wise. Using uniforms does help with the school to limit out who is supposed to be there or not, but the thing is, everyone is the same. Schools are setting us up for being factory workers, making us sit in straight rows and stand in lines. Making us do this and that, when in reality none of us want to be some silly factory worker. We want to be artists, scientists, actors, etc. There are clubs for that but it is limited to how good people are or how well they do in something. Back to the clothing, what about people who want to be designers one day? Aren't they going to want to practice what they love? They can't even show what they want to show because of school! Oh well, that's just how it is.
