Reading Response 5
Aaron Devor “Becoming Members of Society…”
Choose one or come up with your own focus.
• Explain Devor’s distinction between “I” and “me” (paragraphs 7 and 8). How may this separation contribute to problems with finding one’s own voice? Use examples from the reading, other readings, or your own experience and observation.
• Do some of the aspects of the traditional gender roles described by Devor seem to be changing? If so, which ones, and how? Contrast specific aspects of Devor’s essay with specific examples of your own.
• Use Devor’s concept of the dominant gender schema to explain how voice is oppressed in either the essay by Walker or Anzaldúa or the Tough Guise video.
