     Thоusаnds оf persоns аcross the U.S. live in the streets. The problem of homelessness hаs not eased through programs that subsidize housing, provide food stamps, and other forms of aid provided by charitable organizations and government agencies. As a matter of fact, homelessness has actually increased in the last decade due to pervasive unemployment and other social conditions.       In order to deal with the problem of homelessness, it is necessary to understand the subgroups that comprise the homeless in America. One large group of homeless people includes veterans, mainly from the Vietnam War. Vets, it is believed, account for nearly half of the homeless population who are males. The mentally ill are another large group. Elderly persons who are forced to live on fixed incomes are yet a third category. Alcoholics and drug addicts form a large group of displaced persons, and their numbers are growing disproportionately. Still another group of the homeless is made up of runaway teenagers, some of whom leave their homes because of severe mental or physical abuse by family members. Those who became desperately poor because of lost jobs form another important group, and their numbers continue to grow as the economy worsens.       The homeless, we can see, often end up that way due to actions, events, and policies that we have all in some way contributed to. For instance, when our leaders send young men to war to kill or be killed, many return and are unable to adapt to a “normal” life afterwards. Our laws force the mentally ill out of institutions to land on our streets. Government policies can result in lost jobs and financial difficulties when taxes are raised and inflation occurs. Can the problem of homelessness in America be solved? Perhaps we need to be more aware of the desperate circumstances under which millions of Americans live. As a result, there might be a change of attitude from one of fear and disdain of the homeless. Job training and more jobs may be part of the answer. Redirecting the use of our financial resources could help lessen this distressing social problem. “Alcoholics and drug addicts form a large group of the homeless. Still another group of the homeless is made up of runaway teenagers, some of whom left their homes because of severe abuse by family members.” What is the relationship between the two sentences above?

How are we supposed to feel about the narrator of “I Stand Here Ironing”? How are we to judge her at the end of the story? The narrator has reflected at length about Emily’s upbringing. She has questioned her specific choices certain unavoidable (?) circumstances. In the end, she writes, “I will never total it all now. . . . Let her be. So all that is in her will not bloom—but in how many does it? There is still enough left to live by. Only help her to believe—help make it so there is cause for her to believe that she is more than this dress on the ironing board, helpless before the iron” (305). How do you understand this final passage? Is the narrator just making excuses for herself? Is she abdicating her responsibility as a mother? Is she just giving up on Emily by saying that Emily will probably find a way to work it out for herself? Or is there more to this passage?

How does the imagery/symbolism of the iron function in “I Stand Here Ironing”? Is there some way in which the narrator is trying to “smooth out the wrinkles” of her feelings about Emily’s upbringing? Is the back-and-forth motion of the iron significant? What about the imagery of Emily’s wrinkled dress on the ironing board? What is Olsen up to here? How does this image (metaphor? symbol?) help Tillie Olsen to think through her major themes, questions, issues, or problems? Compose an essay in which you explore any or all of these questions. Quote frequently from the text, citing by page number in MLA format.    or   3. What is Emily’s problem in “I Stand Here Ironing”? How are we to understand this passage: “[Emily] always had a reason why we should stay home. Momma, you look sick, Momma. I feel sick. Momma, the teachers aren’t there today, they’re sick. . . . But never a direct protest, never rebellion. I think of our others in their three-, four-year-oldness—the explosions, the tempers, the denunciations, the demands—and I feel suddenly ill. I stop the ironing. What in me demanded that goodness in her? And what was the cost, the cost to her of such goodness?” (301). How do you answer the narrator’s questions here? Compose an essay in which you explore any or all of these questions. Quote frequently from the text, citing by page number in MLA format.    or   4. How is “I Stand Here Ironing” a feminist story? Would something important have been lost if the story were about a father and his son instead of one about a woman and her daughter? What exactly? Is Olsen thinking about problems/questions/issues related specifically to mother-daughter relationships in particular (vs. just parent-child relationships in general)? Compose an essay in which you explore any or all of these questions. Quote frequently from the text, citing by page number in MLA format.    or   5. How is “I Stand Here Ironing” a story about talent? The narrator expresses frustration that she doesn't know how to foster her daughter's talent. What do you think Emily needs to realize her potential? Is the mother right to question or regret her own actions as Emily has grown up? Remember that Tillie Olsen is herself a talented artist. Does she write this story to help her think about her own talent and its development: how talent can be neglected, how it should be nurtured, and so forth? Compose an essay in which you explore any or all of these questions. Quote frequently from the text, citing by page number in MLA format.
