in class writing discussion questions
1. Why does the author put epilogue at the end of the stories? How does it explain about author herself?
The story named Epilogue basically displays the life conditions of women in the Haiti. They are unknowledgeable and live a life by following the “strict rules” of Haiti. They live dependently on their husbands and family. They have no freedom and rights to decide their own life. Everything they do is based on their family and being a woman. For example, at the beginning of the story, the author use a lot of sentences to describes their life conditions by using tone of “your mother”, which brings the readers into the story deeply. Your mother’s second rule went along with the first. Never have sex before marriage, and even after you marry, your shouldn’t say you enjoy it, or your husband won’t respect you.” I think the author kinds of talking about her own history through talking with the stories. Because she is also so afraid of talking to be a writer to her mother. Through the story, she expresses her history story about how impoverished the area she lives in are. Also, her career of being a writer is not been supported by her family because of those. So I think it is also the reason why the woman put the epilogue at the end of the stories. She uses all of others story to express the theme about an impoverished poor area named Haiti. At the ending, she connects with her own life stories and express more about how women treated differently. Through using this way, it also points out the main theme of the book that in some impoverished and poor area, people are getting different level of treats depends on their identity.
2. Throughout the book, women take big part of the stories. How does the author express about women and their relationships with family?
It is appeartly to see that there’s lots of stories in the book showing how women suffers a lot during the time period. For example, in the children in the sea, Celinenan has no freedom and rights to keep her child. Women in Haiti has the lower social status than men. They have to depend on their family and they get a lot of limits. Night woman does a job as a prositude to support her son. Caroline’s wedding also shows a lot of conflict between women and the whole society system. The author describes their life condition to foreshadowing the poor and impoverished area. In the history of all human beings, women has a lower social status in the society for several time period. From my perspective, the way how they threat the women equally is showing how development the area are. Appeartly, there are still lots of areas such as Haiti holds the unfair treatments to women. It cloud better shows that people in the area has not really recognized the name of “freedom” and “ rights” . Even though some women thinks the way others treat them is right. For example, in Epilogue: women like us. There’s lots of descriptions about “your mother” showing that the thoughts of women in the area. They support and devote everything to their family. They give up their profiles as a women to own “respect” by their husbands.
