Response to Levine's story and poem!

I think that Levine's story and poem is based on anger that he didn't get the job and that his bother had a job. I think that it related to the story in Terkel just because it a personal experience, but beside that i don't see it. It doesn't talk about doing a job or having to do two job just to getting by on the necessity. The poem is saying that work is a bad thing that it makes people mad. I t make you envy those who have a job because you don't know how to keep your mouth shut and wait for your turn to be interviewed.

Gender

Growing up I didn't notice a difference in gender roles. Men and women were working in the same places. They're women who worked in factory just like men. The only difference I seen between women and men was that men only had one job, but women had more then one job. Women had to be mother, cook , house cleaner, and so on. I didn't grow up with an idea that men or women should only do one type of job. Gender doesn't have anything to do with my goals in terms of work or in any other way. You can be whatever you want to be no matter if your male or female.
