In this story I
can see a different way to tell a story. It’s difficult to tell a story in just
one sentence. These story is about a mother who say the things that the girl
need or not to do, the girl just talk to times, so we can say that the mom have
the control of the story. It's a
situation very difficult that many families are living right now. This story
hasn’t an order, that’s why people understand this story like an
autobiographical essay. The truth is that involve a deep tension on each word that
the mother say. It’s important to remember that short stories also can be use
to criticize a problem in a very different way like this. We can control a
person, yes we can advice in some areas but never take the control over other
person. We can’t control another person if we don’t control ourselves.
In my case all the family contribute to the different duties of the house. When my mother ask to my sister to do something she says that I can also do it and I realized that I need to contributed to. When my mother sees that we lose the control she begins to distribute different duties, so everybody is in constantly movement. Working in the house is something that need to come from yourself, is not necessary wait for someone to the different duties.
So are you saying that the mom wasn't supposed to tell the daughther what to do?
ReplyDeleteI like your point of view.
Also I like this sentence: "It’s important to remember that short stories also can be use to criticize a problem"
And I would like to hear more about the gender roles.
When I was reading this I was thinking about how much I don't like that someone give me orders.

ReplyDeleteYou have an interesting point of view. Are you implying that this story is more of a social criticism than an autobiography?

I liked that you wrote about having control over people because in this story the main problem for me is that the mother is trying to make her daughter do everything shes saying.
