"About Men" Essay (Sections 08 and 09)

Hello all,

Here is the link for the essay by Gretel Ehrlich, which was read in class. It's brief  but very insightful. Please read it and then write a precis that summarizes the essay and, also, demonstrates your understanding of what Ehrlich is saying about male gender roles as portrayed through her experience interacting with real cowboys and ranchers and how they match up to the more traditional rugged Marlboro Man cowboy image. Furthermore, synthesize how perceived gender roles match up the actual gender roles. Begin to think of gender roles in terms of the characters in Othello. Your hint is the following prompt:  How is Othello perceived to be and how does that match up to who Othello really is?

Again, here is the link for Gretel Ehrlich's "About Men".

This is due tomorrow for sections 08 and 09. No excuses. The trip some of you went on is not excuse to not hand in this assignment tomorrow (April 1st, 2011).

Regards,

Benitez
