EQUALiTY NOW?
In this article the author seems to have the cliché motto of "the grass is always greener on the other side," however; maybe it's more of realizing that there is always beauty in the landscaping of every neighbor's yard. The author, who is a mother, decides that maybe she has received more help from her husband than what she had wanted, although back in her (the author’s) mother's day and age, the help she gets from her husband is something women prayed for. She uses an appeal to emotion, she tries to lure in the reader by making them understand how she “feels”. The mother says “Sometimes when my daughter falls, she cries for me. But often she cries for Daddy. What astonishes me is that I wish she wouldn't. I thought I'd always be the one she'd come to for that kind of comfort, a sudden hurt needing soothing.” For most this is an emotion of being needed, not just by a child but in general. I chose this paper because I believe the feeling of always wanting more than what you have is something everybody goes through in life, so it’s a pretty relatable topic, but I also believe that maybe people shouldn’t admire other people’s “grass” when their’s just needs a little water.
I think I could be completely off on this assignment. I have a tendency to look at situations abnormally, but I’m hoping I nailed it.

I really like what you came up with as the writer's purpose in writing, the whole grass is greener idea. Definitely a really good way of putting it and when I read the article I didn't really see anything but after reading your post I see something now. Way to be creative :]
