A Responds to a Short Story authorise We Might As Well Be Strangers by M. E Kerr Sofyan Widianto 0909032 incline Literature In tireesia University of Education 2012 Based on my understanding to the short(p) horizontal surface Entitled We Might As Well Be Strangers written by M. E Kerr, after close reading and deep thinking to the short point I bravely assume that the short story shows the independence of a woman. The independency of a woman is shown through the main spirit in this story. The main problem in this short story discusses approximately Alison that isdescribed as a teenage girl who is lesbian to Laura, her best friend.It go forth be explained in the textual evidences below. No, thats first. Frist am qualifying to posit that there was no need to announce it. You think I enduret know whats going on with you and Laura? I dont need eyes in the back of my head to habitus that out. I hind endt do anything about(predicate) it, can I? I impinge on it every time yo u bring her here. I would like to believe its a stage youre going trhought, only if from what Ive read and heard it isnt. The certain intercourses above are the manner of speaking that are told by Alisons mother that insinuate that Alison is a lesbian.Its also supported by the speech of Alison eminent mother. We can see on the textual evidance below. So you dont have to tell me about what it feels like to be an outsider. You dont have to tell me about prejudice. But, Alison, I thank you for telling me about your self. Im proud that you told me first. Both of speech acts told and emphasize implicitly about Alison identity as a lesbian. As the chronicles before that in this story Alison represent the independency of a woman, Alison decides to choose her own counsel to be a lesbian.It is shown in the conversation between she and her mother. We can see it from the Alison speech trough the conversation between she and her mother. mom its non a choice. Was is a choise when you f elt in love with Dad? most definetly i chose him We can see that Alisson starts to chalange her mother about a reasonable opinion about love. Lets see the other interesting on the conversation below. So what if the world was different, and men loved men and women loved women, but where still you? What would you do?My mother shrugged. Find another world, I guess. So thats what I did. I found another World. From the speech from Alisson above it obviously shows the independency of her to make a descion to her own life. She says that linguistic communication to her mother explicitly. For me, that speech is the most powerful evidence of Alison, and it indicates the independency of her. From the explanation above i bravely conclude that the potray Alison in this short story represents the independency of women to decide and to choose what women really want to do.
