The Author explains that throughout her life, she has struggled to satisfy men sexually and in general. She worked everyday with the intensions that she needed to adjust her life styles to other people's in order to be successful. She forgot her morals and values because she was too busy worrying about other people. I thought this painting titled "Dreams" was a great connection to the subject of the story because I interpreted this as a women of individuality in an environment of ease and simplicity. It seems that most men and women in America want to live a life of of ease and simplicity, but like the author, are too busy satisfying other people in order to accomplish this. Eventually, the author quit her job to find people who cherished and respected her like the women in this painting, but people should interpret their lives as this painting to understand that our own individuality is what should be priority.
