Lost in the Kitchen
Barry’s tone here is comedic. How does his use of humor relate to his comparison of men and women? Identify the stereotypes about genders. Does he prove the stereotypes about the differences between men and women wrong or confirm them? Barry is using himself as an example throughout the essay. Write an essay in which you answer those questions. Make sure you discuss Barry’s essay in great detail as if I have never read it. Use quotes from the essay as your evidence. Fully explain your answer to each questions posed. You may also add your own experience of behaviors of men and women at holiday gatherings, but make sure to fully explain the essay first and not just your experiences.
