The boys and
girls are very different socially in reality than in the way that the book
depicts. In the book, they cannot socialize at all, they don’t hang out, and
they do not talk to each other. So it’s just the boys with the boys, and the
girls with the girls. While it is like that in the book, the truth of today’s
society is immensely different. For example, there are many guys who are
friends with girls, and girls that hang out with boys. In my opinion, how boys
and girls “Live in separate worlds,” is when they do not interact in anyway publicly.
They aren’t friends with one of the opposite sex, and they do not socialize
with each other. This is how I see that boys and girls are different in the
society in the book, The House on Mango
Street.
I think that the point you made was definitely a resonable and suportable one. The fact that boys and girls do socialize is undeniable. Thank god that we do too. Where would we be without women...? Haha
ReplyDeleteIt is kind of baackwards in the book compared to real life.. It could be due to the fact that they're children in the story and haven't noticed yet that girls are cool. in time.
ReplyDeleteI don't really like your use of "in reality," because technically this book is reality, just in a different time. But I like your idea of how they live in separate worlds, it shows a good difference between how they behaved then compared to now.
ReplyDeleteYou should have compared the situations with how life is today. How it's acceptable for girl to hang out with boys and be friends. Also the reasons for why it wasn't acceptable in this time period
