The Contradicting Lives Of Two Sisters

Now she was losing her sympathy."" Even Zoë is beginning to realize that the changes that occurred since her childhood were truly making her different from Evan. Evan and Zoë's very different lifestyles actually began in the younger years of their lives. .
             Now that Evan and Zoë are adults they do seem to lead very opposite lives with divergent careers. Evan's so-called job is to place food on a plate so that it looks pretty. In professional terms Evan is called a "part-time food designer for photo shoots."" Zoë's career is set in a small liberal arts college where she teaches American History. Also, Zoë is writing a book titled Hearing the One About: Uses of Humor in American Presidency. When looking at the titles of each of the two women's careers one would likely perceive Evan's to be very laid back. But from the context of the story, Zoë's job seems to be much more relaxed. While describing Zoë's job at one point a student had said, -Professor Hendricks is often late for class and usually arrives with a cup of hot chocolate, which she offers the class sips of- (352).Many other accounts of Professor Hendricks class include, singing the King and I, and discussing movies. This leads the reader to believe that Zoë conducts a very laidback setting at her job. Also, Zoë is writing a book and works full time, which leads me on to believe that her life is very busy. But as a matter of fact she is actually living a very easygoing career because of her laidback attitude towards life. On the other hand when I look at the title of Evan's job as a "part-time food designer for photo shoots- I imagine her job to be more laid back Zoë's job. At the college Zoë has a full time job while Evan's job is part time. This causes me to believe that Evan's job is much easier that Zoë's. But when Zoë is talking about Evan's job, she tells the reader how busy she always is with shopping and discovering new ways to set up her food.
