<span>Throughout history women are almost always perceived as the weaker sex, they are treated unfairly without any logical reasoning aside from the fact that they are “inferior” to men. </span>  

“At the Hearth” seeks to make people understand that women are not “less worthy”, they are not inferior and in fact, times have changed in the traditional gender roles in society.

Esquivel comes from a land where masculine and feminine roles are well defined. Men value their “machismo” and exhibit their manliness with violent and aggressive behavior. Women are expected to be caretakers and clothe and feed the family, while remaining submissive and obedient. When she was a student during the cultural revolution of the 1960s, she rejected those values and the duties associated with the home as being unworthy of her attention. After she married and had a child, she recognized the value of lessons learned “at the hearth” and even the importance of seemingly small, seemingly insignificant tasks, like cooking a meal. She discovered the need for balance between masculine and feminine, material and spiritual, and reason and emotion. She now embraces her heritage and history while still hoping for a “New Man” that will embody this balance.

stepladder [879]
The park was absolutely gorgeous on this day, with the scent of pine in the air, and crisp, fallen leaves crackling beneath me with every step.

Joe lazed around for an entire day, filling his body with overly sweetly aromatic junk food and dozing here and there.

Which statement would William Faulkner most likely agree with, based on his
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

A. Literature needs a more optimistic view of people.

Explanation:

American novelist William Faulkner won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1949 for his novel "Absalom, Absalom!" And in his acceptance speech, he addressed why it is so much of an issue in writing what is positive and how we, as humans, are all so engrossed and taken over by our fear of life's events that no one seems to understand and try to write of more positive things.

He stated that <em>"Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it."</em> And it is this constant fear that makes it impossible or difficult for any writer to write about things that are of hope or positive thoughts. He emphasized the need to overcome or move beyond this constant thought of fear, and instead write of hope, and not let fear dictate what they write or want to say.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
