Answer:

Explanation:

ok.

The short science fiction narrative Created He Them written by Alice Eleanor Jones tells a distressed housewives point of view describing her life after a nuclear holocaust. Ann Crothers, the housewife, depicts her less than ideal living situation. She lives with her ungrateful and spiteful husband and reveals that once her children reach a certain age, they will be taken away from her. Throughout the story her husband maintains a different point of view of their lives together which reveals the different strains the society weighs on any parents during this time.

From the beginning of the narrative Ann Crothers carefully completes her daily tasks in order not to upset her husband. “She had already poured his coffee; he liked it cooled to a certain degree; but if he did not get up soon it would be too cool and the bacon to crisp and he would be angry and sulk the rest of the day. She had better call him.” (67) She prepared his breakfast conscious of every detail. She even reveals she must put the children in the basement and keep them quiet so any noise they make would not make her husband angry.

Ann Crothers is nervous and thorough to prefect things for her husband, however throughout the day she wishes he would die and repeatedly says she would kill him. She does however care deeply for her children. She takes them outdoors and wheels them down the street when the other women in the neighborhood begin to admire the children. This event connects the women in the society with Ann Crothers and their love for their children. The strangers in the neighborhood show admiration for the children yet their father does not acknowledge them once.

Henry Crothers, the husband, is demanding and critical of his wife. He sees her efforts as lazy and unworthy of his praise. However, telling the narrative in his point of view the reader would be exposed to a male’s coping process with his children being taken from him. In result of nuclear attacks children could be born with mutations or be stillborn the majority of the time. Henry and Ann are blessed and burdened with the fact they can still produce healthy children. Ann states, “we are among the tiny percentage of people in this world who can have normal children. We hate each other, but we breed true.” (75) Lisa Yaszek from Ladies’ Home Journal explains that Henry is a petty tyrant who neglects his children because he knows they will be taken away from him. (88) Although Ann wishes Henry would die, they also know their importance in society and their duty to create children like theirs. They must do this to live, and they must live together.

The hardships during this time turn husbands and wives against each other to cope with their situations. The narrative Created He Them, written by Alice Eleanor Jones reveals the society’s issues and public problems deeply impact the lifestyle and issues in the private sphere as well.
