the paper is for a class called “men and masculinities.” its a pretty general essay topic in which the instructions are, “the
main goal of the paper is to give you the opportunity to reflect and analyze the representation of gender in a text or show.
it should be from 7-10 pages and use conceptual resources from our class articles on Bakhtin, Gass, Connell, Reeser, and
Ratcliffe. It should be written like a close reading essay on the text or show you use, along with extra support for your
claims from our class articles.” i would like it to specifically use only Season 4 episode 1 of the dick van dyke show
entitled, “my mother can beat up my father”. it is very important that this is the sole episode used
