The first essay that I learnt from Miss Zu is “Cause and Effect Essay”, but for today class Miss Zu teaches us how to write a “Compare and Contrast Essay”. It’s the same like the first time when Miss Zu teaches us the first essay, she also divide us into group and show us some video. I was group with Afiq,  Fauzana, Syieda and Ainol. And this is our essay for compare and contrast essay:

Roseanne Barr ever said  ‘’As a housewives , I feel that if the kids are still alive when my husband gets home from work, then hey, I’ve done my job’’.Housewives are the only workers in the world  who do not have regular time off.They are in a great vacationless job as according to Anne Morrow Lindbergh.All over the world ,this women called housewives is doing  the same task,the same job in managing their own family.They take care of their husband, concern about their children’s heatlh and education  and so always make sure their home is the best place in the world for their family to be .There is one drama series that story about housewives.It is called  Desperate Housewives.Two women,Lynette Scavo and Bree Van de Kamp are both a housewives with children but the things that did makes them looks unequal are their attitude and the way they manage their family.

The first differences between Lynette Scavo and Bree Van De Kamp is the way there managing their children. According to http://www.psychology.org.au. Parents face many challenges in raising their children to be safe, happy, well adjusted and able to deal with conflict and frustrations in non-violent and effective ways. Many parents are concerned about the amount of violence children are exposed to. It same goes to Lynette Scavo and Bree Van De Kamp. There have a different way to manage their children, for Bree Van De Kamp the way that she manage their children will be little bit strict, this is because in the outside appears we can see her children very timid but inside they intend to be rebellious. In the other hand, Lynette Scavo seems like clumsy when she manages her children. We can see when she asks their children to come out from the pool, but the child doesn’t listen at all. So she decides to go into the pool to pull out her children out of the pool by herself. The way that she manages their children is seem like her children did not

According to http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/keywords/attitude.html , attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.  The difference between Lynette Scavo and Bree Van De Kamp is their attitude around the community at their homeland. Bree Van De Kamp is very a perfectionist, she always makes sure that everything goes perfectly and accordingly. Besides that, she also has another attitude and that attitudes is strict. This attitude appears when she with her familys and we can see it when her childrens follow her words timidly however they tend to be rebellious.  However, Lynette Scavo has the opposite attitude, because she is very clumsy and we can see it by its appreance and  when she try to persuade her children to get out of the pool untill herself has to go inside the pool to pull out her children.

Despites these differences, Lynette Scavo and Bree Van De Kamp share a same personality which is both of them is a housewives. According to “Housewives,” (n.d.) housewives are a term that can be used for married woman where they play the main role in action family’s home. From this two character, we can see that Bree do all the house chores such as sewing, gardening, and cooking for her family. On the other hand, Lynette duty as a housewife is take care of her children. She looks like very concern about her children and it same goes with Bree. Besides doing all the house chores, as a housewife, Bree and Lynette are trying to do their best for their family. We can see this similarity from both of them when Bree was being a strict mother and Lynette sometimes being so clumsy handling her children. From there, we know that both of them try hard to do the best for their family.

 People tend to think that being a housewife is not a difficult task. Well, they are wrong. Women need to prepare mentally and physically in order to lead their family without any trouble. That is a lot of work under their belt. Moreover, for housewives who have responsibility inside and outside the house, it will be tougher for them. Despite, men being the family’s leader, their role cannot be compared with women’s role as housewives. Most of men need women’s help in order to lead a peaceful family. There is a saying that no matter how high a woman study, she will end up being a housewife after all, so why bother study? These thought is completely wrong as women are able to do both. Thus, it is up to the housewives to compare the differences and similarities between Lynette Scavo and Bree Van De Kamp before deciding which one suits to be their role model of housewife.
