Income Tax Filing Tips for US Citizens in Canada

The way Anne's experiences hint at gendered infantilization is, like, totally key to the cultural link between being a man and getting better, becoming more mature, and moving forward. Women are like underdeveloped and smol, always chillin' at the back of the time line if men are like the ones who drive cultural vibes. In "What is Remembered," Alice Munro tells all about Meriel and Pierre, a young couple in the middle of the 20th century who are trying to show how married they are. The story shows how basic gender roles make women feel like they're never fully grown up, but Munro also understands that guys have to deal with the same dull routines and time limits: "

OMG, back in the day, this German writer dude, Sigmund von Radecki, was like "yo, wristwatches are like handcuffs, man"" (Levine 58).

It was really creepy to think about those "youthful necks in knotted ties" and how Pierre and his team had to deal with such strict time rules. Those ties really are like a noose, and they have to be put on very precisely every morning. Not a cap., Someone else grabs Pierre by the tie or pulls him out of bed way too early, but Pierre knows he has to do these things to make sure his family's finances are stable in the long term. He plans his whole life around them. But while Pierre is thrown into the responsibilities of adulthood, Meriel is moving in two directions at once: she's moving forward into motherhood responsibilities and at the same time, she's "slipping back" into childhood. It's kind of like how Anne Shirley is seen as both forward and backward, like she's both an adult and a child, you know? The normal roles of men and women make them age at very different and sometimes even opposing rates. But, unfortunately, society sets time limits for both men and women. Texts that question the very idea of narrative can be very effective at fighting toxic masculinist ideas of progress that happen in a straight line. Le nouveau roman was an idea completely created by the French author Alain Robbe-Grillet in the 1950s and 1960s. It was like a call to try out new ways of telling stories, you know?

This movie wasn't just about the plot; it was mostly about things and objects.

I had to work hard to do these kinds of experiments, but they made me realize how important it is for stories to have a clear order. It also gave us a way to question the usual ways of telling stories and, you know, fight back against the power structures that are right in front of our faces. In Canada, Daphne Marlatt and Kristjana Gunnars have gotten a lot of attention for changing the story to show their political resistance. Marlatt's book Ana Historic, which came out in 1988, is really smart. It's all about this woman who is questioning the official records of the past and seeing things as very complicated and having many layers. It's really like a "tangle of hair," as the opening line says. That's cool! yelling at this mess Oh my gosh, the book is so hot! It's all about Annie's thoughts and her made-up past as Ana, who lived in Vancouver in the old days. It's like, out of this world! While this is going on, each sentence starts with a lowercase letter, which suggests that each moment in time is not a fresh start marked with a declaration of official (i.e. male) history, but rather an ongoing process that flows smoothly from one prior moment.

The rememberer doesn't pick the scenes; they're just

Through making linear competition seem like something only guys do and showing how women can totally resist it by being all about teamwork, and by combining the past and present, history and imagination, poetry and prose, the novel creates a time vibe that's all about complexity, unity, fresh starts, and different points of view, showing that there are more than one winning truth.

In her 1989 book The Prowler, Kristjana Gunnars totally rocks the non-linear plot, and the book is also all about questioning the idea that genders are tied to certain times, you know? The Prowler is about a girl in Iceland during the Cold War who is just trying to stay alive. Trade monopolies and foreign military occupations have made everything so hard that everyone is broke and hungry. The story is told in all these short pieces that don't go in a straight line from beginning to end. Instead, they are all about subjective experience and memory. Interesting that the fragments have numbers but the pages don't. This makes it seem like the order of your thoughts is more important than the order of the pages in a book. The speaker says, "I've sometimes thought: maybe there's no such thing as chronological time, you know?" You know, the past is looking like a whole deck of cards. Hey, there are some hot scenes, family.
