Attack or Defend
In A&P Sammy consistently ‘objectifies
women,” that is, he turns them into objects by staring at them (the male gaze),
inventing belittling nicknames, and making his own story superior to theirs.
This attitude, called sexism, is inherently wrong. Stories that produce these
attitudes are therefore artistically immoral and ought not be assigned in
schools, where teachers have at least some responsibility to provide healthy
worldviews for students.
Watch your writing for grammar, mechanics and style. Try to make some original points. Show off a little...show how smart you are!
