This interesting reading is the intimacy and vulnerability of Dorothy Allison's writing. In the class question, Dorothy Alison reveals much of her personal details about her family living in her life and Carolina 's very poor life as a young, poor white girl. The real concern is how poverty affects the use of women's bodies. It is necessary to understand how poverty does not get out of poverty, does not ask for, accepts the role in society, and how it will affect people who fulfill that role. Dorothy Alison is a lesbian so she analyzes her inner control and manhood, which will affect her identity as a lesbian. But in this article, the microscope is about femininity performance. The concept of femininity is very important when reading questions in the classroom. This "definition" of the idea that women should have a sense of self-recognition is a problem, and today is still a problem.
