Hmm, You Have a Point
·
Miss Loy, I can see why you think that women don’t need to have a man in their life to become an independent person. If I was hurt in a way that you were, I might have the same feelings that you do. Like you, I like to think of myself as a woman who can stand on her own two feet and not feel the need to lean on a man for support. Unlike you, I think we should at least give a man a chance at becoming a person who can provide and secure our needs. I can understand your anger on this situation though. Your poem Giovanni Franchi says it all. I can feel your confusion within the words that are written. When you talk about the threewomen, I feel that all people are like that. In order to find yourself and others, there must be experiences that must be taken. Before I married Fred, I made sure I used my knowledge to figure out what was best for me. I knew that I was able to wait to be married in order to find the person I can trust. Lets be honest, I knew that Fred wasn’t committed enough to support a wife and family. Since we were kids I knew that I could trust him, so I waited for him to find his own way before jumping into something as big as marriage. I do have to admit I did have a say in what I wanted for Fred. I knew that if he were to become a clergyman, I couldn’t marry him. I knew that he would not be happy in that profession. Miss Loy, I can see you have a point, but in all honesty a woman can have good experiences with a man. There is no need to detach yourself from all men permanently.
