Essay on 3 Things The three sources I have selected are all based on females. They are all of change and transformation. Two of my selections, ‘The Friday Everything Changed’ by Anne Hart, and ‘Women and World War II ‘ By Dr. Sharon, are about women’s rites of passage. The third choice, ‘The sun is Burning Gases (Loss of a Good Friend) ‘ by Cathleen McFarland is about a girl growing up. The first selection of mine was a short story called ‘The Friday Everything Changed’ by Anne Hart.
The changes in this story are good in a woman’s point of view. The author Anne Hart talks about her school years in this short story. She talks about how a girl in her class asked a question that changed their lives forever. The question her friend Niles asked was ‘Why can’t girls go for the water, too?’ 1. In those days getting the water for the class was a boy’s job. To go out every Friday, to fill the bucket up with water, and bring it back to class.
This showed that you were strong, and you also got to have some fun missing half an hour of class. Because the boy’s felt threatened by this question, they started bugging and picking on the girls to make them change their minds. But the girls didn’t, and that is what changed their lives. At the end the teacher did let the girls go for the water, and that was a big change for the girls in those days. To show that they can do what the boys can do.

Now the girls also get to miss class getting the water and not only the boys. This short story had a humorous tone to it. For example when the author say’s ‘are you trying to be saucy, alma?’ 2 and ‘Alma threw a bombshell of her own,’ 3 etc. The second selection of mine was an essay named ‘Women and World War II ‘ by Dr. Sharon.
There were two different changes in this essay that the war created for the women of America, there was a bad change and a good change. The bad change in this essay is that most of the women were left to take care of their families by themselves. They had to find jobs to provide for their families. The good change was that it widened the horizons of American women.
Since there wasn’t much men around the businesses got desperate, and started to hire women to take the places of the men’s jobs. This opened new jobs for all the women in America. Now they could make and spend their own money, and not have to ask their husbands. This essay had a serious tone to it. This is what started up the women work force. This essay was of a real experience of World War II, when the author was 26 years old.
She writes this essay to show people her point of view in World War II. The third selection of mine was a poem called ‘The sun is Burning Gases (Loss of a Good Friend) ‘ by Cathleen McFarland. This poem is about a 17 year old girl that talks about when she was young, and matured into a 17 year old girl. The changes in this poem is from a young age to the age of 17. The change in this was good because she became a woman.
All the selections above are all related to the idea of change and transformation. They all are based on females, and are written by female authors. Although they all have different structures, they are all similar in many ways. This is why I picked them for my I. S. U assignment.
They have also taught me a lot about what girls and women had to go through in the past just to be able to do what we do.
