In chapter 10 an older woman stops Mars Bar from fighting Jeffrey, then in chapter 11 Amanda stops Mars bar again. What does this tell you about the women who live on the East Side of town?
By the way both the woman and Amanda treat Mars Bar it shows that neither of them like him. This is funny because when he and Maniac first met there were tons of voices encouraging Mars Bar.
I don't think it tells anything about the women, just like men not all women are alike, there is no particular way women or men in a region act like. Besides, it's only two women (one is a girl, too...) so it's not even enough to know anything.
I believe that the women don't really like all this conflict, and after a while they probably start to feel that they're kind of like the stoppers, when one is started
i agree with Rotem. we're always taught not to make conclusions about a group of people from one or two examples. since there are a lot of women in the East End, we can't make a conclusion from the old lady and amanda's actions.
Steven, what we're trying to say is that although Spenelli might write differently about men and women, that doesn't mean anything about the rest of the town. I don't get why teachers pick one boy and one girl to "make it fair" because what's the difference? The only difference is physical (haha Ms. Finegold thanks for teaching us that..!)
ya but sometimes people think its fair so thats why teachers do it. and they are also showing that they arent sexist and so no one will be offended if the teacher picks only girls or only boys

I think the women stop fights while the men start fights which creates a sort of good balance.

ReplyDeletei agree with rotem and jake. you cant judge half a town (which is alot of people) by 2 peoples actions
ReplyDeleteTrue, but 2 peoples' actions kinda prove that one section of town is more "civilized." We now know that at least 2 people in town are "good."
ReplyDeleteya but 2 people isnt much if you compare that number to the whole town
ReplyDeletehmm... maybe the town is small... hmmmmm...
ReplyDeleteeven if its small thers got to be atleast 15 to 30 women and 2 is still pretty small compared to that
ReplyDeleteSoooooo? Maybe those women ARE the only ones in the small section!
