COMPREHENSION QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CONTENT

1. Why does Theroux dislike being a man? Paul hates being a man and the idea of manhood in America. It does not fit every man’s life and how every man should be. Being a man is stereotypical in what they can do or say. Men are supposed to be manly creatures – carrying a knife and playing sports. 2. Based on his different definitions, what is his concept of being a man? Paul is very upset with how society makes the whole idea of manhood in America. He is definitely against the whole how a man should be manly type thing. Paul just wants the men and women to be equal and to be able to do “women-like” things like be a writer without being called anything less than a man. He thinks it is pretty stupid how men are supposed to only do sports and can’t think of them, as well as not to be alone. 3. Does your concept of manhood/manliness discussed in the warm-up activity match to Theroux’s concept of manhood? What accounts for the similarities or differences? What/who has influenced your definition of the concept? I could definitely say that Theroux’s concept of manhood match mine. I didn’t agree with the idea of manhood in America. Men should do what they want. Like what Theroux said men and women should be equal and men should be able to do women-like things like writing. I also like man who’s good at singing and dancing. They are so attractive that I’m so turned-on. I also don’t like men that have a built body or many muscles. I prefer more those that have normal but healthy ones. There’s no other person or things that influence my definition of concept, it’s just me who come up with it. 4. What do you think are the issues in Theroux’s definitions of manhood? I think the issue is that, the society makes men out to be boys turning into a man; you can’t just be a man. There shouldn’t be anything that is manly or feminine-like. Sexism shouldn’t be promoted in the society. People must do what they want and make up how things should be....
