Writing response Night Women




     
        Night Women was an very interesting story to read. As I was reading I instantly got an idea of how the women in the story was protrayed. For instance, the women is the story states There are two kinds of women day women and night women. I'm stuck between day and night in a golden Amber bronze. These statements helped me to understand that the women in the story was mysterious and had another life at night. When I continued to read I came to realize that her night life was hidden from her child in the story. For example she states  my body freezes as I wonder how long it would take for him to cross the curtain and find me. She was paranoid of her son seeing her night life job.
         The women in the story seems as if she had slot of pride she wants to make a better life for her and her son. Even if she has to sleep around with different suitors she still wants to make a living for her and her son. The women in the story describes her living conditions. For instance she states that the small holes in the roof that none of my suitors will fix for me. She also describes how her son in bitten by Mosquitos. She states he slaps the mosquitoes dead on his face without even waking. The women in the story seems like she isn't really unshamed of where she lives because she still has the suitors come to her home. She states they like to watch scrap of the sky while lying on their naked backs on my mat. The suitors seem to be unbothered as well, about the way her living conditions are.
      Night women was a very interesting story. One statement that the women said really caught my eye was when she said There is a place in the Vile Roae where ghost women rude the crests of waves brushing the stars out. I wondered who she was talking about? I didn't know if she was talking about the suitors wife's or the previous women who had night jobs like her. When she described ghost women brushing stars out of their hair, she may have been talking about the suitors returning home to there wife's with things that resemble her, as if she was a star. I'm not sure what she was talking about but it was interestong trying to piece the puzzle together about who she was referring too.
