    1. "safi;' as houses_"_ "!Fant that houses were safe places. It's a beautiful idea; like running home with a late-summer thunder-storm huffing down your neck. There's the house,.waiting for you; a barrier from nature, from scrutiny, from other people.

      This is interesting because if you are someone who has never experienced abouse in their home, you continue on blissfully unaware that a house can mean anything other than safe. However for other people a house is the last place they experience saftey and can never look at a house other than misery and torment.

    1. The Idea that women could a) not like children and b) not have children is baffaling and outrageous to some people. Your ability to have children determines your worth as a woman, and wife. it however does not determine your capabilities of rasing children. Here. a woman's choice in wanting children is ignored and children become more of an obligatin that is meant to be fulfuilled. This reminds me of the character Christina Yang from Grey's Anatomy how she cried that she was free when Dr. Burke broke off their wedding, and when she was struggling in her relationship with Dr. Hunt because she did not want children. Its a constant battle between the ideas of feminity and womanhood and individual choice.
