F is for Failure

this morning, my sister sent me an example of writing done by her class partner. she's livid that she has to put her name on it, and i would be, too:

"High bangs and feathered hair was in, laying out in the sun to tan was in, gheri curls were in, big shoulder pads were in, and chasing a full course meal with a Diet Coke was definitely in; the time period was the mid 80s to early 90s and women were still moving up the success ladder, two rungs at a time.

Thanks to a little thing called ?Regeanomics? it was the women who were bringing home the bacon and frying it up in a pan. The Economy had hit a rift and was unstable, women were becoming much efficient in the workplace, but not as secretaries and entry level positions; but as essential corporate executives and stakeholders within that company. Women were bringing home the bacon and frying it up in a pan, which wouldn?t have been a problem, had the women never left the home to get the bacon in the first place.

It was during this time that varying opinions began to ripple the sisterhood and produced a new category made especially to fit the mold of the financially fit and career seeking woman: The Bitch; with working women on the rise and the mediated Alexis Carrington, women in these positions were purposefully Bitchy and proud of it! (No pms intended). Playing the female dog meant that a woman could basically have totally control of their life and careers with or without the children and be pc, since she was a take charge kind of woman who was sexy with an attitude.? Sometimes being a Bitch is all a woman has to hold onto,? Dolores Clairborn.

As corporate America entertained the idea of in office daycare and other mediums catered to the working mom, she was able to make smoother transitions during the 90s phase. In order to accommodate those mothers who just happen to work outside the home, jobs, after school programs, even carmakers became eager to shift focus on the family as a whole. Now mom was allowed by society say so to work a 9-5 and take the kids to activities, but wait is this onset of another phase?"

i'm no thoreau, but that's an F paper if ever i've read one!
