Read the excerpt from Black Boy. Then my father was called; he came forward jauntily, smiling. He tried to kiss my mother, but s

he turned away from him. I only heard one sentence of what he said. “I’m doing all I can, Your Honor,” he mumbled, grinning. It had been painful to sit and watch my mother crying and my father laughing and I was glad when we were outside in the sunny streets. Back at home my mother wept again and talked complainingly about the unfairness of the judge who had accepted my father’s word. What societal norm of the early twentieth century does this excerpt reflect?

English

In the whole passage, the socialistic norm was that the at that point of time men were more trustworthy and capable.

Then, the men were treated highly, and the women were treated as a lower ground of the society.

There was no equality for the women in that society. They have to bear the demands and violence of the men.
