Night Women

From the start of this chapter I wondered why they were given the name night women. Is that what the called them where they are from? Can a night women be a considered a job just like any other job or is it to be decided? And by whom? This women is trying to make a living to take car of her child. Usually people have some like for their jobs but her words don’t show any pleasure in it at all. Her main concern is her child. Is she ashamed, is she depressed, is she happy or just ok with it all? Ironically it doesn’t say. Instead it stays that she thinks about her long distance love as she puts it along with the dreams she instills in her son. She takes him to this place a dream land ,they connect to this world daily and it binds there love together. I see It as the only thing lifting her spirit. The only thing that keeps her together. It made me wonder if she had any more plans or how she would keep up here income as her son gets older. I don’t believe the world realizes the extent a mother will go to for there child. Is it merrily wrong ?maybe. But who am I to come in-between their survival. Who is anyone to take that away ? Where is the government to support them? This just shows the on going strength in women is still strong and will continue to grow.

Like in a previous story this one also puts her child first this shows that the women in these stories have set priorities that they make their life goals to follow. these priorites come from their culture.
