Well my english teacher showed us a clip of gone with the wind. And asked us to point out some not so ladylike behavior of the beautiful Scarlet O'Hara. Needed a little help!:)
Answer
Haha in like every way possible. Just to name a few...
1) She 'showed her bosom before 3 O'Clock' when they went to the Wilkes's BBQ. (ladies back then weren't supposed to show any cleavage until the ball at night)
2) She dances with Rhett at the Bazaar when she is a widow and is supposed to be in deep mourning (she wasn't even supposed to be there in the first place)
3) She goes into business when she has a perfectly able husband who is working (Frank Kennedy) and to make it even worse, she leased convicts. She was also (in the book) rode buggies with Rhett while she was married to Frank. (in those days, women weren't supposed to work at all if they didn't need to. If they had to bc of financial issues or something, it would have to be in a 'ladylike' way such as baking pies or teaching music lessons)
4) She re-marries barely a year after her (2nd) husband's death (I think that explains itself)
5) She went buggy riding alone through dangerous parts of town (Shantytown, where she got attacked). And in those days, women were NOT supposed to ride alone.
Hope I helped! :)

Fastest way from O'hare area to Wrigley field?
Stu
What is the fastest way (cab? train? other?) to get from O'hare airport area to Wrigley field on a Tuesday around 6pm? How long would this method take? Thanks!
Answer
The problem is getting from the train to the park. During the hours hours before the game, Addison is an absolute nightmare. It is only one lane in each direction and everybody who doesn't know any better is using it, plus you are at the tail end of the rush hour.
Do not get off at Addison. Get off at Irving Park Rd, the stop just before Addison. Irving Park is two lanes in each direction and gets less Cubs traffic. Take the 80 Irving Park bus east to Sheridan/Sheffield (it's Sheridan north of Irving Park and Sheffield south of Irving Park) and walk three blocks south on Sheffield to Wrigley Field.
And I am not convinced that taking the train is the fastest way. You will be going at the end of rush hour so a taxi will probably get you there faster. Hopefully the taxi driver will know better than to take Addison. Taking a taxi also eliminates the time it takes to wait for the next bus/train, the time it takes to walk down to the train station and then from the train to the bus stop. And a taxi is going to run on the same street as the bus without having to stop every two blocks along the way.
A taxi is going to be a LOT more expensive. But if time, not money, is your concern, go with the taxi.
