Boys and Girls by Alice Munro

This short story written by, Alice Munro, is a great read. The life of a young girl, under the confusion of muscilinity, seeks to reach more to the graces of manly work and pushs away the kind and less repelling oudors of women work. The young girl, excieted and curious, worked under disgusting conditions of blood and gore, side by side with her father. She continues working, misunderstanding conversations from her father, for instance; "like to have you meet my new hired hands", she drew on to a misinterpreted fact, assume that her dad viewed her much more than a girl, but never absolutely a boy. The fact that her mother would speak to her about her life to show her a sense of relation that she might have one day with the relavent stories. Rather, her father kept words of his life to himself, but only because it's unlike for a girl to know about the crazy things her father might have done. I speak for all of us, as a man, I did not have a choice to help my father or not with outside chores, it was something that I can only do because of the fact that my body is more biologically powerful than my sister. Being raised under the inhabitance of man and his jobs, would never garantee a switch in the preestablished brian of a young girl to end up liking everything a boy would. Unfortunately for the young girl in the story, as she got older, the recorded conversation of her mother and feminist advice her grandmother gave her sunk in, she began to unfold her innerself as the socially constructed girl type.
