journal 3

While I was in the class, I thought about the discussion that I had with my classmate. In the beginning of the class, we shared about our chest box. My group members shared about each other’s life story and then I felt that we were becoming one. Our relationship became close each other as a group member. Some of the topic or issues were really personal, but we sheared including my self. Today, I especially thought about gender because men think that women are stronger than them. One of the men from my group members said, “My mother is stronger than my father. He is really mercy, but she is not.” Then everybody began to question about the reason why. In my opinion, women are weak before the man. However, when a woman becomes a mother of her child, then she has to protect her baby and take care of him/her. Here is a story that is really interesting I do not know exactly where the story came from. The time of this story was one dry season in one of the forest in Los Angeles. A mother and her child were in the forest and suddenly fire rose from no where and it burned almost all the trees and animals etc. when the fire came close to the mother, she decided to save the child and began to dig the ground. There was no shovel or any other tools in her hands, but she finally made a hole blow the ground and hid her child in it. Then the mother lay down on the cavity and she died from the burn of fire. Her sacrifice and lore toward her child saved a life. If I was a mother of my children, I would’ve done the same thing. However if I was just lady or woman then got a same situation with man not baby, who was die? Probably man dies for woman or lady.
