The story takes place in the nineteenth century, and seems very far removed from our lives - for instance, we don't have our feet bound, and we're free and mobile. Do you think we're still bound up in other ways: by career, by family obligations, by conventions of feminine beauty, or even events beyond our control (war, the economy, and natural disasters)?
I do believe that many women in this country are bound by many things, although their feet may not be bound like in ancient China. I think that many modern day women are restricted in very small ways such as spending more time in the morning to get ready, because it is considered socially acceptable to be pretty. I believe that the happier people in life are the ones who do not care what other people think of their outfit, how pretty they are, or how they look when they walk out the door. The happier people in life are the ones who wear what is comfortable, they are at peace with who they are as a person, and are unbound by social stigmas.
My Dream
The Section That Looks Official and Takes Up Space
- S. Naes
- There's More Than Corn In, Indiana, United States
- Half the time nobody really bothers to read this section of the page, but I figured that since I'm bored I would fill up part of my page with the parts of my life that are odd. Probably the weirdest thing about me is my abnormal neatness when it comes to grammar and handwriting. I can't stand not capitilizing all of my letters at the beginning of a sentence, and ending everything with the proper punctuation. I can't write fast, so my writing territories fail epicly. Sorry Miss Holmes. When I write fast I get mad because my handwriting isn't neat. I am the master of all procrastination, although I am trying to work on it. I am fluent in sarcasm, as is my fellow sensei of the art, Flynnstone. I would fill this space with normal things, but those are uninteresting, so that's where I will end this section.
