responding to 275-300
Please summarize the points Hessler is making
about women in China in this section. Then respond to what he's saying in
terms of your gut reaction (thoughts and feelings) and your more considered
analysis of what he's saying.
On page 275 Hessler states that "Fuling women were far more likely than
men to feel isolated and frustrated." He goes on to say that money was a
male quality and that men controlled most of the money in Fuling. Woman had
accessories that showed they were from the upper class but these accessories
were not as materialistic as what the men wore. When it came to jobs men had a
greater chance of getting one than women did. My gut reaction to what Hessler
is saying is that men came first and women came second in Fuling’s society. Men
were considered a hierarchy than women and had the upper hand in every day-to-day
living. This can possibly explain Hessler’s observation when he said, "Fuling
women were far more likely than men to feel isolated and frustrated"
because the men created boundaries for the women and by doing so they made
women feel isolated and frustrated.
