The Importance of Gender in Boys and Girls by Alice Munro

Importance of gender in men and women From the beginning, the role of gender existed in society. For women, assignment of child rearing and food preparation is assigned. Men perform most of the activities that require physical fitness. With the development of society, the role of women is not so. The role of men and women is not focused much today, but the role of men and women still exists. In 1968, Alice Munroe wrote "Boys and Girls" to cope with the confusion that gender roles can cause in modern society. "Boys and girls" is an adult's story about a young girl who is enjoying her fake boy and being a contempt for women. The theme of "men and women" is the transition from early childhood.

Alice Munro 's short story "Boys and Girls" is a story about the lifestyle of the 1940' s, and men and women have specific roles dominated by gender. They should learn these roles like children and agree with adults. As the title suggests, men and women play independent and independent roles, and no one else is integrated elsewhere. Munro chose to say "boys and girls" rather than saying "girls and boys." He is excellent and she obeys him. Munro explained the story with the voice of a girl, but she did not name the girl. She has no role as a girl is important. Interestingly, Munro named the boy "Laird". This is another name for "Lord." The narrator wishes the reader to know that even though the boy is a young man, he is superior to his sister, the Lord. Also interesting is how the narrator starts a story. "My father is a fox farmer" and "I have not grown up on a fox farm".

Alice Munro's "Boys and Girls" seeks young girls' rituals through the growth of women from a limited feminist perspective. The narrator fought in unison with the Fox farm in Canada in 1940. Since this period is still focused on male control, when she finally succumbs to the rules that society imposes on her, her desire to become a strong woman runs out. The story was written in the first person's story and I saw it through the eyes of a young, freewheeling girl. The theme of this story is self-discovery, stereotype, and rebellion. In order to describe these themes, literary methods such as implication, similarity, circumstance sarcasm are used. As the writer is trying to describe his father's creativity by linking it to a famous novel, that persuasion will appear in "his favorite world book is Robinson Crusoe."
