Question #3

“Women lose their lives not knowing they can do something
different. Men eat themselves up believing they have to be the thing they have been made.” I think this quote means that women can do so much more then they are told. In the book most of her aunts were just “baby machines” and apparently looked not very intelligent, “wide-mouthed.” Back in those days women were told to follow the standard way of living, which was you cook and clean for the family, basic house wife. So im guessing that what she meant when she says women can do more, if they didnt accept the way things were and tried to be a little more knowledgeable about there surroundings. Men thought they were predestined to do something because they were full of pride. But to much pride isn’t good because it can cause you to lose yourself and fail at what you are trying to accomplish. You lose sight of whats important, like family. The uncle that was good looking on page 30, no one thought he would end up living with his sister because he was so good looking and charming, but he ends up losing everything with no one but his sister to stay with.
