Class Related Response

English Class have became boring ever since W.T left he's amazing. W.T is a Shakespeare Teaching artist that came to my english over a course of 12 weeks to help enjoy and understand Shakespeare's play Mid Summer Night Dreams . Since W.T been gone we have return back to the regular boring curriculum that Department of Education created. But for right now Ms. Hegeman has managed to make it interesting so far. Now we are talking about gender roles and how can we apply to Mid Summer Night Dreams and life today in our essay. Gender roles can be expressed by both women and men. For example , in Mid Summer Night Dreams men were portrayed as the more dominant gender who provides and take care of his wife or partner. Unlike in today's society women are more independent and are able to provide for themselves and their partner or spouse.  In some cases women actually have a higher income then their spouse. Many gender roles can come off as not noticeable because women and men was raised to believe that these gender roles are right or this how its suppose to be. For example during the Shakespeare Era and in today's society believe that women are suppose to be the care taker and cook and clean for her family. Thats so not true because men can do it to and women should not be the only one responsible for that. Another is example is "The Bread Winner" who brings the most money in men believe that they should make more morning then their spouse and that its wrong for their women to make more than them. This is a very strong topic and i enjoy discussing and learning more on it.
