1. Sanders noticed that the men he grew up around had the same labored bodies being "marginal farmers, welders, steel workers and carpenters" which gave them their forearms with muscle. In paragraph three Sanders describes how the men looked. Sanders described that the men had nails black and split, hands filled with scars, missing fingers, bad backs, weak guts from hernias, ulcers, bad knees, weak ankles, hard hearing, coughing and drinking. Because of all this work and the effects it had on the men it made them appear much older than their age.
2. Sanders characterized the other men who were soldiers as being lazy. In paragraph four Sanders uses words such as boredom, waiting and no say to describe them.
3. Sanders couldn't imagine becoming or being one of those "successful" men because he grew up seeing the complete opposite of that "successful." men. The only thing Sanders ever knew and saw was hard working labor men so seeing these new type of men wasn't normal for him. He couldn't see himself being a successful men.
4. Sanders father fate seemed like a partial escape because he went from working on a farm to working in a tire factory then to an assembly line and finally to a front office. Luckily for Sanders father he got out of the slave labor, but the only bad thing was his body was ready to call it quits on him. Since Sanders father life changed from escaping the slave labor he still knows most of the young men he knew ended up joining the army, working at the smoky plants or building highways. His father took it step by step to reach the top but thing that was different from him and the younger boys was that they didn't even try. They were afraid to step out the boundaries that were created by society for them.
5. Sanders learned that college men automatically believed that they would live a pleasureable life becuase of their wealthy family. Sanders was amazed that women could be so into a man's life that Sanders quickly understood why they would. But because of that he didn't quickly agree. Sanders thought women had the better life. Reason being because women didn't have to work, weren't required to go to war, they were free to do anything they felt like doing.
6. Sanders realizes that a lot of pressure is always put on men especially the low-class who sees it as body aching work and having to be tough. The upper class women see it their life's as the same because of the struggles they have to go as being women in the society and dealing with their man.
7. They both wanted to have power and have a say in their future of their lives. They want to choose a job that they like and live a great life.
