Reflection on Boys and Girls by Alice Munro

Blog Question #2

Reflection: In the story "Boys and Girls," look very carefully at the descriptions of the areas where the father and mother work, and where the children sleep. How does the narrator feel about each of these areas, and how can you tell? Do these descriptions illustrate one or more ( Read more... )

I liked the way you associated the gender roles to culture differences. I think it all ties together not just because of the way we were taught but even because of physical restrictions. The narrator mentioned the once her brother were fighting and even thought she was "bigger" and "older", he actually could pin her down and hurt her a bit. Not wanting to lose, she said he was getting bigger but "I" am getting bigger too. Its funny how she was forgiven of allowing Flora to run out because she is "only a girl". Do you think females tend to get away with certain things that males might not?

Hello poppyxlemon,

I had to laugh also when the narrator was pinned down by her brother and she justified her losing by saying "I" am getting bigger too.

I don't think she was easily forgiven by her family.I think her family felt empathetic towards her because she felt guilty from being helpless. I think any boy would feel the same if they had been in the same position.

Good question, "do females get away with certain things that males might not". Well I would have to say that boys get away with as much as any girl would.

I like how you related to this story within your own culture and how its preceives gender roles.
