I think its B. Joe's deep desire to please Pip.
Because Pip already knows he can not read but he wants her to be pleased by him, so he says he can read.
Some (not all) men are against shifting gender roles because, historically and presently the nature of gender roles typically put males at a societal advantage. So the concept of having shifts in these gender roles, means that many males are often nervous that they will lose the stability in the systematic designation of societal standing due to gender, that was always designed to favour them. Although these fears are irrational, as most of the modern movements in relation to gender roles are in favour of freedom of the individual, and not intended to put any group or person at a disadvantage.
Considering you have to write about a teen who wants to earn money, make it interesting at least.
You can have the teen (male or female) struggling to get money as they are handling high school, sports (if you want to make them do sports), and other things.
Everybody knows that it's definitely a struggle to be a student and work at the same time, but in the end it eventually it pays off. I'd base this idea off of society nowadays, where teens become pregnant to just get free money off of the government because they're a single mom. How about the teens who actually want to do something in life?
- I'd start out with the teen a month into their job they have at the moment, juggling exams in school and other classes. Maybe they eventually figure out that the job they have currently is doing no good for them (insert a low pay check?). They are soon to graduate, and don't know if they can afford a college to go to. They decide to resign from their job and search for another, even if it's short time such as doing things for neighbors (mowing, babysitting, etc). They eventually find a job where they feel appreciated at and happy to work for. Soon enough, after all of the hard work they have been put through and done, they finally have enough money to pay for a college tuition, a college that they actually wanted to go to in the first place. I'd suggest to add in friends along the way that help the teen get motivated and where they are today.
It's just an idea, but this would be definitely something I would write about.
We're talking here about Hector Camacho, who was born in 1962 and died not too many years ago (2012). His alias or nickname was "Macho Camacho," and he lived up to the "macho" hype with his flamboyant style and his success in the boxing ring. His professional record was 79 wins (38 of those by knockout), 6 losses, and three draws.
The son of Hector Camacho who was 1996 US Amateur Light Welterweight champion -- that was Hector Camacho, Jr., known as "Machito."
