Answer:

Throughout each story, the characters try to prove something to themselves or other people. In Maureen Daly's short story "Sixteen" the narrator is clearly trying to prove to the reader that she is smart and popular. A very clear example of this occurs at the beginning of the story when the narrator is describing herself. Daly writes, "I mean, I want you to understand from the beginning that I'm not really so dumb. I know what a girl should do and what she shouldn't. I get around." When she says, "I want you to understand," she is clearly directing the statement at us, the reader. As she goes on to say that she is not really that dumb, her message clearly becomes an attempt to convince us that she is smart. Finally, when she says, "I get around," it appears as though she is trying to tell the reader that she is popular. Combining what has just been learned from the narrator's statements, She is trying to prove to someone her ethos: that she is smart enough and popular enough to be telling us a story about a boy.

Answer:

Even in today's world men and women both have different levels of privilege. In the 1900s women were seen more and housewives and mother's than as people. Now let's go back farther in time when women were not allowed to read, go to school or even think for themselves, men were always able to dream bigger and go after those dreams because they could. While women had to think practical because they know they had way less of a chase of there dreams actually coming true.
