Chapter 3.
The Case Against Chores.
· Question for Active Reading.
1. What experience did smiley have that change her believes about chores?
· The experience that she had when she was young was that she never was forced or really tell to do the chores that she was suppose to do. They always tell her but in the end her mom or the housekeeper was the one who end do in it.
In paragraph number four she specifies how she didn’t move a finger in her house, how everybody was cleaning after her and how every time after she came back from school her bed was already made.
The impact would be if she put that in paragraph number one. Explain everything and how she was raised. Probably in that moment I wouldn’t take it as offensive as i did, because before she said all this she explains how chores should be taken or do. If u does it does it right and chores are the beginning for all good workers.
2. How smiley supports her argument?
· In the part of the text when she says: “Good work is not the work we assign our children but the work they want to do” seriously if that was my mom! I would play with her so much! She doesn’t have any authority. Really her house looks like a mess.
She’s trying to put the audience against the chores, and really that’s not going to work. And really instead of changing my mind she is making me upset, of how stupid she manages the chores in her head, but everybody has different ways to think.
3. How does she use the rhetorical questions to appeal the reader?
· Whit her questions she tries to make think and do some reflections about chores like I the question “would you really want to feel loved primarily because you’re the one who gets the floors mopped?” That question it’s really pathetic!! Seriously! I think she is the only one who takes the chore mopping! Like a way to get affect from her mom! But well, she got her point make you think about it, even if you don’t agree, with what she’s trying to say or prove.
· Question for Thinking Critically.
1. How does the concept dualism with dominance by Stephen Jay apply to Smiley’s description for chores?
· “Reversing Established Orders”, an order was: go and clean your room. But she knew that even if she doesn’t do it, her mom or whoever, was going to do it for her. And we all know that chores are mandatory at least in my family and some others that I know they are. But in this case she point at something that says “good work is not the work that we assign children but the work they want to do” right there she is reversing a order! Chores you most do! But she puts it like if u want do it, if u don’t just leave it, some one else will do it for you. That’s wrong!! I totally disagree with that.
2. Starling analogy. What is it? Do you agree? How Eli Sharp respond to it?
· Her analogy was comparing the stable with her room. She did all the chores in the stable or let’s say the work to do in there but she didn’t do her CHORES in her room. Why? I don’t know. Do I agree no! But if you think about it! Do you think that if her mom told her to go to the stable and do chores over there but no in her room, do you think because her mom call them chores she would do it and prefer to do the ones in her room? I do think so. She is everything about “Reversing Established Orders”. Eli responds almost the same way I did. Really upset and kind of concern how someone can take the chores is such a bad way. No in the way that they are bad and sometimes uncomfortable to do, in the way that she thinks everybody can do it for you and you do what ever you want. And how you can compare your room with a stable that’s crazy! And if think about it and if you read the entire thing she did? And if u think in the only 3 things she had to do in her room, you would think she is crazy and she really does what ever she wants to do. Everything for “Reversing Established Orders”
3. What are the similarities between smiley’s and Dillard’s? What arguments do both have to encourage curiosity and independence? Do you agree?
· They are similar in that their parents didn’t pay attention or didn’t care of what they did or not do. And no matter what was it the parents always did everything the child asks for.
They both want you to be curious and independent and I don’t have a problem in how Dillard explains and tell us how to do it. But in the way smiley did. It really upset me. Probably because she was going in the opposite way of how my parents told me to. But Dillard only wants you to explore and know more about stuff and no matter if you parents don’t care don’t make that stop you to do what you think it’s right and interesting. I do really agree with her but smiley makes me really upset and angry, just because she is just a mess.
