Nora is described at the opening of the play as a normal 19th century woman who is obedient to her husband, as seen by the terminology used by her husband, Torvald, to characterize her. Nora has been dubbed "squander bird," "skylark," and "squirrel" by Torvald (Ibsen 26). He appears to dehumanize Nora by continuously referring to her as a pet. Nora is viewed by Torvald as a worthless person who is utterly reliant on him. Nora's function as a wife, he argues, is to amuse and serve as a trophy, which mirrors the majority of nineteenth-century marriages. A typical wife in the nineteenth century functioned like an Angel in the House. Women were viewed as assets or objects by males at the period, and they were heavily ruled by men. People who worked, mainly men, earned money, therefore having power over others. Men used money to dominate their women, as Torvald's character expresses when he says, "it's astounding what an expensive pet she is fo

 My favorite TV show is "The Office".  The Office is set in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The comedy is set at the Scranton division of Dunder Mifflin, a failing paper firm. Michael Scott, the regional manager, Dwight Schrute, the top salesperson, Jim Halpert, the office "funny-guy," Pam Beesly, the uneasy receptionist, and Ryan the quiet cool guy, are the main characters.

Jim, an underutilized salesperson, discovers that a corporate branch manager is just as interested in a video game as he is in selling paper. Ryan, a hopeful temp worker, rapidly learns that his supervisor knows little about modern business. "This is a run-out-the-cloc

       "The Untraveled Path" George Harrison's song and Robert Frost's "Any Road" Both the poem and the song, as their titles imply, are about the road, which is a metaphor for our life's journey. "Two paths diverged in a wood, and I— I chose the less traveled by, and that has made all the difference," writes Robert Frost, whereas George Harrison asserts, "If you don't know where you're going, any road will lead you there."  The symbol of a road has typically been used to represent life's journey. It does, however, represent both the route and the goal. The poem's prevalent interpretation is that Robert Frost pursues one of the two paths he portrays. The title, on the other hand, emphasizes that Frost did not travel along any of the routes listed. Instead, he takes the middle road.  "And sorry I couldn't travel both/ And be one traveler," he says at the opening. His initial judgment is that it isn't p
