ESSAY: "Boys will be boys" & "Equal rights"

"In boys will be boys" two girls love throwing nuts to the cars, when one of it enters to a car passing across the road, the man angry started looking for "the boys" that made that terrible thing. And in "Equal Rights" a girl looking for work is being descriminated in the way that they told her that men earn more money than women.

 Boys will boys and equal rigths are similar because both of them talk about the gender differences.

Both stories have a similar theme the one is DISCRIMINATION this is because they represent the differences between men and women in different situations of the story, in one is the way they pay more to men and in another when the men said that only boys can make terrible things. Characters are having the same problems with discrimination. Boys will be boys transcured in a road way to the beach, and equal rights in the town. 

The tone represented in this two stories is disgust if we want to represent discrimination but if we specify separated we say that boys will be boys have a ironic tone and Equal Rights  the tone can be inspiring.

Both are different because the gender differences are represented in different ways, and also the structure and problems are completly different.

I prefer the story "Boys will be boys" because it explains better the discrimination between boys and girls, is more humorous and joyfull.
It catchs my attention i mean, when i was reading it i want to know more and more. "Equal rigts" is a good story to, but it dosnt catch to much my attention like boys will be boys.

Diary Entry - Sujata Bhatt

In Literature with the teacher we were working with a poem called "A different history" Sujata Bhatt. This poem is about The British Colonization in India, the poem have two parts, in the first talk about India before the Colonization, Bhatt explains life in India when it was free, In the second part talks about India on the British Colonization, focuses on the importance of the lenguage. Now I will write a Diary Entry telling about this situation.
6th May 1976. A Monday
Dear Diary,
Today is not a good day! The colonization continues here, I`m so angry, sad and fearful because of the British Colonization, I´m disappointed because before, India was free but now because of the Consequences  of the British Colonization  it was not free. Out future is in trouble, this thing of the colonization changes all our traditions, Me and my family treat books respectfully and we follow the idea of the sacred trees and the respect that we have fot them in India , Those basic things in those times are not important. In the future we can change some things of the language, ideas, identities, we can do some things to the place some more changes me and the people in India.In relation to my personal feelings, I´m so sad about this colonization, about all the things that we are losing, in particular our traditions that for us are very important. Mostly we focus on the importance of the language about how the British took those things, another important point to talk about is "The oppresors tongue", we are losing the language and we don´t know what to do, little by little we are losing it and some of us are desesparated, many people are looking fot a solution but it is very difficult, today was not a very good day. Well I´m going to sleep after a very long day. Tomorrow I´ll continue telling about this bad situation.
Bye.
