A symbol is a person, place, event, or object that suggests more than just its normal meaning. The symbols in this story, “Everyday Use”, were pretty clever and told a lot of clues about the story. Also Little peepholes that would dig into deeper meanings, and hints in the story.
The first symbol, which I thought meant something was towards Maggie and Dee’s mom. “I was always better at a man’s job.” (pg.320). “In real life I am a large, big boned woman with rough, man- working hands.” (pg. 318). “I can kill and clean a hog as mercilessly as a man.”(pg. 318) I think because man was used a lot referring to their Mom, might have meant that she was the man of the house. Maybe that she was the only parent and that her husband was never around to help after the kids were born. So she really had to be tough and do a lot of things that the men would usually do.
Another symbol I found was one that goes along with Dee. “She burned us with a lot of knowledge we didn’t necessarily need to know.”(pg. 319). “It is hard to see them clearly through the strong sun.” (pg. 320). “Dee next. A dress down to the ground, in this hot weather.” (pg. 320). “There are yellows and oranges enough to throw back the light of the sun. I feel my whole face warming from the heat waves it throws out.” ( Pgs. 320-321). “She put on some sunglasses that hid everything about the tip of her nose and her chin.” (pg. 324). I think because we don’t quite kno...

Additionally, I also had the opportunity to shave down and clean the surgical site for the feline ovariohysterectomy, as well as aided in the monitoring of the anaesthetized patient during the surgeries. Thereafter, I washed and packed the surgical equipment to be sterilized in the autoclave. In addition, I observed and had a go at tapping fluids from lungs, as well as observed nasal tube feeding.

Wealth played an important role in showing the reader the difference between Tom and Gatsby personalities. Both Gatsby and Tom are wealthy, but the difference is that Gatsby built his way up compared to Tom who was born in a rich family.
Will Americas parents ever teach their kids some manners or will the rudeness continue into the next generations. Although there are parents that instill good manners in their children there are also not enough who do so. The children might get the bad manners from viewing how their parents behave with other adults. Encountering adults on a daily basis I noticed that adults can be just as rude as the children can be. Standing outside a shop looking through a store window there was a women walking and talking on her cell phone and she walked right into me. Not even turning around she kept on walking and just gave me a nasty look.

As a child growing up, I was taught to be well mannered at home and everywhere I go. I was taught to say please and thank you, yes ma’am, and to hold the door open for individuals. In todays society, more and more people are forgetting their manners and are becoming offensively impolite. Whenever I go to a store to shop or even just to go out in public to burn some time, I never forget to take my manners with me. As I'm out and about, I've noticed the rudeness of individuals and some take
... and that everyone matters. Our children's future and success will be enhanced by the use of appropriate behavior. Let us create an environment in our homes, schools, and churches where manners are taught and valued so that every child feels safe and becomes all they were created to be. A quote by William Arthur Ward makes people wonder whether they have been polite and good-mannered during the day: "God gave you a gift of 86, 400 seconds today. Have you used one to say thank you?"
In operating room three, there were three nurses doing different roles of surgical team. The first nurse was a “scrub nurse” that helped the doctor perform the surgery. She stood next to the bed and was the doctors “right hand women”. She helped
They always told me to respect others no matter who they were, if I knew them or not, it 's a sign of respect from me and to the other person. It will show that I did grow up with a good education and it will also talk good about my parents. They always told me and kept reminding me that actions speak louder than words, to always show something that I was made of and not something that I 'm not. Hearing other people out, it shows your interests or even if you 're not, but try to show it because it 's showing respect to that person. Being respectful is a big part of me, I can never forget that, because if I want to be respected, I respect other people, to treat them the same way as I want to be treated, even if I think that I 'm not going to receive it back, and if I don 't, it shows that I 'm the bigger person. I guess that showing gratitude was one of the first thing that my parents showed me when I was younger, I always remember when I would receive something they would whisper in my ear or tell me to say "thank you" same thing if I wanted something, to say "please". To respect myself and not let others take
To live a happy life with understanding and ease with others, there are some components that are crucial to achieve that quality of life, and civility is one of those important ones because it makes our manners better and our relationships good which eventually lead to making our lives better. If we are happy with our live, we would definitely impact other people’s lives positively, and it would for sure pay off really well for them. So when we learn civility that prevents the possibility of cross-cultural misunderstanding and conflict. So by Forni’s rules of choosing civility we have a guide to treat others nicely; thus, our manners and social interactions improve. So I agree with P.M. Forni's argument in his book choosing civility "to learn how to be happy we must learn how to live well with others, and civility is a key of that". Forni.p 14
Do manners matter? Yes, they do; however, since most parents have gone to work, children have fewer chances to sit with their parents and to learn manners from them. Although America is a melting-pot of cultures with various ideas of manners (Packer 22), and the subject of manners is complicated (Hall 185), the standard of good manners of various cultures is similar. Good manners are the same as civilized behaviors and moral etiquette that have respect, consideration, generosity, and thoughtfulness for others (Stewart 14). What goes around comes around; therefore, people should treat others as they wish to be treated themselves (Stewart 1). In fact, people would love to be with others who have good manners (Brandenberg 2). Therefore, manners should be taught in the twenty-first century because they not only help people become educated and competitive, but they also help the world become peaceful and smooth.
