Questions for Discussion and Journaling

2) The time in which a piece of work is written is a big influence on how it is perceived I think. A lot depends on society at the time a piece  of work is written. At the same time I feel that a piece of work can also stand on it's own to a certain degree and that ability can make it popular for many generations. Also through the years I think it is possible for a piece of work to gain a different perspective that may in fact make it a greater work then when it was originally written.

3) I feel this means that men have become the model for which all writers are judged. Therefore women have had to adapt to this and not be able to think outside the box so to speak. This universalizes us instead of making us unique.

5) I believe for the time period it was for the most part accurate for the time period however not necessarily the norm.

4) Yes the limitations are the fact that feminine study and composition have not really been thought of as coinciding.Feminine topics are not frequently a topic of composition. The models already in place for composition have left little room for intervention from the feminine point of view.Feminine research defines a difference between male and female developmental processes and the way they interact with others.A feminine approach would concentrate on the differences in male and female composition and why for example.

5) Male writing tends to be about oneself and woman's tend to be about relationships and connections with others.Male gender  also talks a lot about achievements or shortcomings and breaking away from community. Female tends to depend on  others and not individualize themselves.
