Catherine Newman’s story, “I Do Not.: Why I Won’t Marry” Essay

Catherine Newman wrote an experiment, I Do. Not. wherefore I wont marry, and the essay is about her explanation why she does non compliments to conjoin with Michael, her eleven long time partner and the father of their password. I in person do not understand with her approximation. First, she express that marriage is standardized a trafficking. wherefore she said that statement? Maybe she rallys that freehanded a dowry to the woman family is like buying their daughter? Come on Catherine there are no parents in this world who want to sell their daughter.Second, why she has a companion if she does not want to married with him? This is what make me confused, she has a boyfriend but she doesnt want to married, so what is the point of having boyfriend if she could not married with him? Moreover, she has a son with Michael. In my religious belief when you have a child out front you are married, it is a sin. I think she is not ready to have a new role, wife. When she is marrie d, she will get a new role as a wife but she is still not ready to get that role so she decided not to marry Michael. wherefore she is not ready? Besides, she has a son and she got a role as a beat. As we know, to be a mother is harder than to be a wife. In my opinion, Catherine does not want to married because she is having negative mind about marriage.
