Breath, Eyes, and Memory

In Breath, Eyes, and Memory we see the lack of freedom for women in other cultures. On several accounts we see this Haitian soceity confine their women to certain roles and stereotypes. Sophie was forced to leave Taunte Atie against her will. She was not fond of the idea of seeing her mother. She, however, was forced to leave. She met her mother in America. Women are also viewed differently in the eye of sexuality. Sophie's mother looked at things differently after being raped. She gain a new insight towards not only her sexuality, but the role of sexualaity in every female's life. Sophie was viewed differently once she was no longer a virgin. Her mother looked upon her differently. Once Sophie gave birth to her baby, she did not feel the desire to be sexual. Her lack of freedom though led to her sexual actions with her husband still.
I think this book was really good. I thought it was easy to read and easy to follow. I could relate to this book on some instances and it continually kept me interested.
