Today in class, we talked about the Face by Alice Munro. In the discussion, we talked about the setting of this story. Someone said that it was probably a long time ago because no one ever got divorced in the town of this story. And even though, the mother was pretty much being abused along with her child by her husband, it wasn't even a choice for her to leave. It makes me grateful how far women have come from then. If someone is in an abusive relationship, now they're encouraged and helped to get out of those situations.
