Answer 2

Answer:

The given question is from the chapter "Boys and girls" by Alice Munro. It is a story about how the life of boys and girls changes differently after growing up. The narrator recalls her childhood role on the fox farm.

Explanation:

1. No, the foxes did not enjoy living in the cage. Though they were well fed and were kept in a tidy environment ultimately narrator's father was going to kill them and peel off their skin to sell it when the time comes. Foxes are wild animals and will never be happy in a cage.
2. This story is from the point of view of a girl who was coming to age and becoming a woman. Through this story, she expresses her plight and how discrimination against women takes place on a fox farm.
3. Yes, the narrator's conclusions were reliable.
4. The foxes were given names only when added to the breeding stock. This is incredible compared to how men use a woman only when he needs and to make their family and then give birth and take care of the family. If a woman cannot do that she is of no use and is not shown any affection. Women are only loved on conditions.
5. When the narrator went to the fox farm with her father the salesman stopped her from entering as it was no place for a woman but when he saw his father he said that he was fooled that the girl was alone. So a girl alone does not have any identity.
6. This story points out how the life of a woman changes when she grows up. How men can work and be the breadwinner of the family and have a lot of things to take care of while women take care of how she looks and what to wear so that men are pleased. The domain of women is limited to the kitchen and cannot take decisions for the family. Women were not even allowed on the fox farm. When she let flora the horse free she became a girl who did not want to please his father and his little brother stayed with the men to catch the horse thus he became the man of the house they were no longer the kids playing it the fox farm.
