Blog Post #4

The purpose of my paper is to identify the similarities and differences of a Registered  Nurse (RN) and a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). As a CNA, and a pre-nursing student I decided to use both for my compare and contrast essay. I find it to be a motivation tool as well, sometimes the thought of being in school for that long is terrifying. Looking at this gives me a boost to want to further my education and become the Nurse I've always wanted to be.

Blog post #3

"I want a wife" by Judy Brady. Brady describes the everyday duties and expectations of a mother and wife. She expresses that their wants and needs are often  unimportant and that they are not appreciated for the dedication and hard work they provide for their family. Brady explains she wants a wife as well, one that will take care of everything and never expect anything in return.  I believe Brady’s purpose of the article is to make people aware of all the time they put into having a family and all of the personal sacrifices they make as well. 

 "Men-It's in Their Nature" by Christina Hoff Sommers. Sommers describes the expectations of gender roles between boys and girls. Boys are considered greater risk takers and girls are more nurturing."Boys like action,competitive roughhousing, and inanimate objects, and they are the one group of Americans who do not spend a lot of time talking about feelings." Gender reformers are set in place to re socialize boys, freeing them from male stereotypes. (Sommers 366) Masculine traits are thought to be hard wired in males.

I will be writing about "I want a wife" by Judy Brady for my analysis essay. I find this article to be very interesting. I like how she uses sarcasm in her article, I can relate to a lot of the duties of being a mother and wife. But, I can say my hard work is always noticed and appreciated around here.

Favorite place....

   As the beautiful colors of fall cover the ground, and the sound of birds chirping and splashing around in the water. I cannot help but feel relaxed. In the corner of my eye I spot a beautiful flicker soundlessly making his way to the feeder with no fear in the world.  I can hear the sounds of a tractor plowing the field off in the distance, and spot two young eagles soaring above.  I hear a soft noise to the left of me and catch a glimpse of a doe and her fawn as they graze passed me.

The wind slightly picks up and a hint of a tropical fragrance breezes passed my nose. As I take in this lovely smell, I am surprised by a drop of water that hits the top of my head, I suddenly feel chilly.  As I sip on my delicious hot coffee, I can feel the warmth coming back through my body.  Suddenly, I realize how lucky I am to have such a relaxing and breathtaking view right here in front of me.
