Number of words: 882 - Number of pages: 4.... There again we were reminded of the way she was
brought up: "Once upon a time we were well brought up women; we were dutiful
wives who kept our heads veiled, our voices shy and sweet" (543). Only this
time the statement is ironic. Shaila's actions show us that she is far from the
voiceless, week female she was brought up to be.

Number of words: 700 - Number of pages: 3.... and needs his blessing. This is a trap that later
