Casa
The cuentos in Cofer’s memoir are women’s stories because it was the older women in the family sitting in rocking chairs sharing their experiences with the younger women of the family. They wanted to share the stories to the younger women of the family especially Aunt Laura. She was about to go pick out a dress for her wedding and the date had not even been set, nor was her soon to be husband present. For the young boys of the family, they would all get together maybe doing some manly things and talk and share their thoughts about marriage and love.

Hi Kayde,
ReplyDeleteDo you think that the men would talk about marriage and love? If so, what might they say about these topics? How would it differ from the women's cautionary tales?
