Select ONE of the following questions. Write at least one page (typed, double-spaced) and make sure to proofread. Identify which question you are answering at the top of the page.
1. Why do the Lakewood boys complain that "girls have all the power"? What does this statement mean? How realistic or unrealistic does this statement seem to you and why?
2. In what way does Faludi suggest that the Lakewood boys have been cheated or "betrayed"? How does her understanding of their betrayal differ from their own? Based on both of these perspectives, who or what is responsible for their problems?
3. How do the dreams of fame and wealth that the Lakewood boys have differ from those of Ragged Dick (p. 297)? Are the Lakewood boys believers in the American Dream? Why or why not?
