Book Review 1

In the book Cell by Stephen King every one that uses a cell phone suddenly goes crazy and total chaos ensues. A man named Clay goes on a journey to find out why this is happening with some people he meets on the way. This book is exactly what you would expect it to be coming from Stephen King, scary and suspenseful. As King ussually does though he hit it out of the park with this great novel. I highly reecommend this book to anyone interested in fiction.

The article http://dailycaller.com/2013/05/30/study-says-traditional-gender-roles-may-be-thing-of-the-past/#! says that the traditional gender role is starting to fade away and things are changing in America today.

The article begins stating that married women are now more likely than ever to out earn their husbands and be the primary breadwinner. In 40 percent of American homes that have children under 18, women are the main breadwinner of the household. This number increasing from 11 percent in the 1960, shows the changes in the American society.

In recent years there has been a dramatic increase in working mothers, as there is often a need for 2 incomes to support a family in a declining economy. Only 31 percent of American households maintain the "traditional" household as opposed  to 70 percent in 1960.

Although having 2 incomes in a household does make paying the bills easier, it makes raising children all that much more difficult. This suggests a return to "traditional" gender roles, yet reality does not show that to be true. Studies show that 79 percent of people reject the idea of women returning to the old gender roles.

As society changes, so do the roles we all play in it. As more and more women enter the work force, the idea that women should stay at home and take care of the house and kids is starting to be nothing but the past.
