Reflection #4: Girl

This story give you a lot to think about. We have this person telling to a young girl what and how to do the things, the persona say this the way to wash the cloth, this the way walk, to dress etc. From the way this person talks to the girl we can assume that that person is her mother. The mother in this story it seems that she have a big preoccupation and is that she don’t want her daughter to become a slut. We have to take in consideration the time in which this story was made and the word "slut" could be a woman that dress provocative and seduce men, not necessary this word means a woman ho is paid to have sex. In the story the mother tell the daughter how things are made and how to behave even to men. There are many points of view for this story. One can assume that the mother is a slut and she advertise her daughter so she can not become one. This could be a possibility because why a mother should teach a girl how to make a medicine to abort?, why another would teach how to grab a men's bread or how to beat him. Another possibility could be that maybe the mother is not a slut but she is warning her daughter seriously about thing s in life and teaching how to be a woman who the baker will no let her touch the bread. The third possibility is that maybe the mother is joking but at the same time teaching the daughter good things, because if the mother were too serious or warning her why she did not say things a s they are. Instead of saying bread she could have say penis. Maybe the mother is telling the daughter that there are some things that woman do that society consider inappropriate for a woman , like a girl playing marvels, singing Calixto or having short dresses and maybe the mother is really criticizing those thing in a form of joke.
