My favorite reading was “The Gilded Six-Bits” because the story was based on love. In the beginning, the author expressed how happy Joe and Missie May were with each other. She explained how Missie May and Joe played with others and did the same thing every Saturday. The way they always smiled at it each other and playful. I am so used to reading stories during this period of women being married young. Also, the man struggling to keep the roof under their head or the husband being abusive to the wife. On the contrary, this story is based love and an imperfect marriage. Missie May did make a mistake, but it did not change the way Joe felt nor ended their marriage. Instead of this story being based on what society wants, it is based on forgiveness. Not only forgiveness but a man being able to put away his pride for a woman he truly loves.
