Just like the title says. i found chapter 16 to be the most boring. Or well the most uneventful. Is it because it was from estravens point of view or there was just lots of walking to be done and nothing exciting to write in between?
Okay well i can't say that the whole chapter was boring because one paragraph did catch my attention. it was on page 234 and top of page 235. It was the part that genry was trying to explain to estraven what the definition of a women was. at first i was thinking that he would say physical body differences and then he started going on about jobs and emotions. i found myself rejecting every idea he gave out because it sounded to stereotypical and sexist. But then i started thinking to myself what the my real definition of a male or female was and found out that it was also hard for me to explain too. We were also talking about this question in class for a little while, and i think we also came to a agreement. It was decided that we can't put a general definition on the emotion or characteristics of genders. But we can put one on the physical body structure of a person to determine if they are female or male. okie that sounded weird coming from me... stream of consciousness. =]
i doubt there will ever be a formal definition for a gender any time soon.
