appreciation

Appreciation of women is what has the two stories of The Bread of Salt and Summer Solstice portray.

The Bread of Salt is the awe of a boy to girl named Aida. He does everything that he can to try and show to this girl how much he likes and appreciates her. His first crush is truly something that means practically the whole world for him. And he realizes that with all the efforts that he had tried he ends up getting shut down and his pride go way down. All his hard work wasn’t good enough for the girl and it seemed as if all his work had just made him look lower to Aida.

It sure is hard to show someone that you have emotions for them without having the fear of rejection. And the most painful part is by trying and still getting rejected.

Summer Solstice was a story that I really did not enjoy or understand quite well. I think it is about a woman who is perfect and does everything for her husband but took a ritual at some place to realize that she is not being adored enough by her husband.

Being adored or appreciated is always great but I guess it does seem to be hard to be shown from time to time. But just because it is not shown doesn’t mean that it is not there. I guess for the woman in the story she just wanted to feel that she is appreciated by her husband by at least a show from her husband once in a while.
