Paton 1

In the Cry, the Beloved Country Paton does not speak of women highly such as when he writes "women scratch at the dirt"(p.4) saying that it is women that do the work not the men. He also writes about the mens problems not both men and women kind of saying that women don't really do anything other than take care of children and the house. He also writes "keep it, guard it, care for it, for it keeps men, guards men, cares for men. Destroy it and man is destroyed"(p.1) in these sentences you see only one gender men not women saying that women do nothing. These differences have so far done next to nothing other than show how women do all the hard work that men are to "good" to do.
