Carl Icahn has been in a bidding war with Bridgestone for a great many months (two of them); regarding the fate of Pep Boys (Manny, Moe and Jack). In October of 2015, Bridgestone proposed to buy Pep Boys for a hefty 15 dollars a share. The Pennsylvania born acquisition target, was trading at only $9.25 per share, a short 5 months (May 19th) before the deal.

Male Cheerleading is a Sport! Against popular belief, females were not the founders behind the sport of cheerleading; instead males who were so eager to cheer while watching sporting events created this sport. In the 1890's the first pep club was organized at Princeton University, and it was there where the first organized yell was recorded. The University of Minnesota organized cheerleading and the first school "fight song." Women didn't get introduced to cheerleading until the 1920s when gymnastics
to further my argument at this point, I will discuss masculinity as it is socially defined. From the outset of a boy's life he is socialized into the belief that he should be 'tough'. Often when boys get hurt, 'scrape their knee', or come whimpering to their mother or father, the fated words, "Little boys don't cry", issue forth. Children internalize parental messages regarding gender at an early age, with awareness of adult sex role differences being found in two-year-old children. One study found

The boy was subjected to beatings from his father and never got the love he wanted from his mother. Moreover, Martinez and his siblings had a rough time to bond in the unique clash
five-year-old girl who is unable to swim is drowning in a pool, where the depth is ten feet. She is incapable of communicating for help and continuously gulps copious amounts of water while kicking her legs and flinging her arms frantically. A young boy who is learning how to swim notices her desperate need for a rescue, but is too hesitant to do anything due to his fear of deep water. He then realizes that he does not want a young girl to die just because no one was able to come to her rescue, and
Commonly accepted is the idea that girls are more successful in lingual and artistic subjects, and that boys are more successful in S.T.E.M programming (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), within these stereotypes there has been a push for more S.T.E.M educational programming specifically for girls to encourage less of a gender gap. We do not see this push for arts programming with boys, and the assumption remains. With this comes a gap in expectation and does not benefit male students trying
Stephen King once said, “People think I am a strange person. This is not correct. I have the heart of a small boy. It is in a glass jar on my desk.” This quote seems fine at the beginning but has a startling ending. This relates to a very significant element in stories meant to scare us: transformation. The most compelling part of this element is transformation in people or characters. There are incredible examples of this in the stories Frankenstein, The Fall of the House of Usher, and The
Joyces Araby A love sick, or obsessed, boy? Or a little bit of both? Either way, James Joyce's story, Araby, is about growing up, and how things do not always turn out how we would like, or expect them to. The main character, a young boy, seems to be about twelve or thirteen years of age. He lives on a dead end street with his aunt and uncle in the Irish city of Dublin. The author is constantly using imagery to convey how mundane the young boys life is, and how dark it is living in Dublin

The Boys Who Cried Wolf: A Plunge Through History The Boy Who Cried Wolf is a common fable known to all but little know of the underlying significance of its message. From Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, dealing with the onset of McCarthyism at the time, McCarthyism itself, and the current political climate, unfounded accusations have been used to gain power and shift blame in the time of crisis throughout history. Simply put, boy’s cry wolf and the people come running. In The Crucible, many characters
gender studies at the Stony Brook University in New York. He is a spokesperson of the National Organization for Men Against Sexism (NOMAS) and also a longtime feminist. Kimmel defines Guyland as a stage in life where a boy transitions from adolescence to adulthood or simply, where a boy “becomes a man”. He also defines it as place or a bunch of places where guys go to meet with other guys to be guys with each other, effectively escaping the stress and hassle of parents, girlfriends, jobs, kids, and
While on a combat patrol in Baghdad, Iraq, I observed a plethora of boys outside of a school playing soccer. It was an intriguing moment so I spoke with the head of the school, and asked him many questions and observed the classrooms. The most significant disparity throughout was that the classrooms were filled with girls and hardly any boys. The boys were authorized to play soccer at their leisure, however the girls had to remain in class and be educated. Being young and naïve to their cultural
