Feminism today vs the 1950's
Feminism in the 1950's: Many women started to work outside of there homes. *Did not have a say in the society(could not vote). *Obsessive gender roles.*Perfect body.
The connection between feminism today and in the 1950's is the women still care about there appearances and that to me is a waste of time. It's not what's on the outside that matters but the inside. Also women have been and are still very independent, we don't wait for anyone or anything. The last comparison between these two time periods are that women have always been working, even if it was inside there home or in a factory.
Little girls spend there time helping there mom's or older sister's with cleaning the house and by doing this , it will help them in the future to take care of her own family.

Thorwald carried out the crime by hiding his wife's belongs in the garden, so no body will ever find them.
But clearly the dog sniffed some thing in the flower garden, so to stop the dog from digging them up he killed the poor dog.
