Having one of the biggest responsibilities in your house or anywhere can be tough. And in the short story “Girl” that is what it is all about. Your told what to do all the time and you know that you can’t reject what your told. There were so many things that had to be done and accomplished in “Girl”. Living the life of work and the high expectations can be hard.
The girl in this story has so many household tasks and errands to get done. Cook for the family, clean the house, always act polite to people, and most of all act like the lady you know you are. Things are very formal and proper in this story and everything is well planned out. But all of the responsibility on the girl can make living life a lot more hard, with no freedom. Years and years ago, men never felt like there was a tremendous amount of responsibility on their hands. Sure they would have to work and make sure that things around the house was fixed, but the woman and would have the work on them. That’s exactly how it went in the short story, “Girl”.
Making sure that everyone is healthy and catered, with love from their parents is not exactly how it is in this story. What has to get done, has to get done. Work is more important to the girl and the way other families look at them. Looking embarrassed, dirty, immature, and unorganized is the last thing that would ever happen.
