Night Women vs. Day Women

In different parts of the world, women have all sorts to different roles that they play 3in society. In the US, women have all sorts off diefferent opportunities that they can do every single day. In day womem, the mother has a lob that han help to say thd bills of the house. Opportunity plays a big role in these storys because in Night Women the only way for that mom is to be a prostitute. He fells like that is the only way that she can make money. In Day Womem, the mother has opportunity to persue anything that she wants to do, In both stories, the mothers feel guilty for the jobs that they have. They feel like they are letting thier children down. In the US, women are allowed to have a bigger role in the world. They are able to go to college, have a job, buy their own house, participate in politics and are not just the role of a mother in society. In Haiti thats what women are only allowed to be or else they might get arrested. Being a mother is part of their identity. So when these mothers know that they are letting their children down because of their professions, it kills them inside because they feel ashamed for what they do. In Day women she us a nanny. The readon why she feels ashamed for being a nanny is because she is taking care of other peoples children instead of her own. Also the mother talks very rudely to her and ours always on her for anything that she does wrong. So she feels ashamed because she has always been hard on her daughter and she has been raising others children in a nice and kind way. At first the daughter feels cheated and jealous because her mother never treated her like that. But at the end of the story she understands that her mother was only doing this job to help support her in whatever she did. In Night Women, she is ashamed that she had to work as a prostitute so that she can put food on the table. She talks about how she would address it if her son woke up while she was with another man. She says that she would tell him that his father wanted to be with her and pay a visit to their family from heaven. But she is afraid for the day that her son finds out the real truth. She is afraid that he will be angry at her fire what she has to do for them to eat. She is worried because she thinks her will leave her. But her only opportunity to make money is by doing this job. This shows how desperate both mothers in the f story were. It also showsthe different opportunities that are available tho women in the US and Haiti. It shows that both situations can be similar but also very different. Both of these stories show how women's roles can be different in different countries.
