The first short story that I wanted to discuss is "Treatment of Bibi Halder". In this short story a girl is having medical problems that mystifies all of the doctors. The cure that one of the doctors advises is for her to find a husband. At first to me this seems to make her problem even worse because all she is thinking about is finding a husband and this stresses her out. To me the doctor only had the treatment half right. She didn't need a husband she needed someone to love her.
If you think about it, it all makes sense. Bibi didn't start having medical problems until after her father died. She moved to her relatives and they never showed her any love. During the period when she was pregnant she might of still might of had some medical problems that we don't know about since no one really around her. Then the baby came along and not only did she love the baby but like all babies it loved her back. To me this is exactly what Bibi needed.
The last short story I wanted to talk about is "The Third and Final Continent". In this story I think that the author is trying to get a point across about how women used to be considered. Mrs. Foster really showed how women used to act a lot differently. First off she showed us that she did not approve of the way that the girls of today dress.
Something that really struck me funny is when Mrs. Foster commented on how he had found a perfect women. When I thought about this and how Mrs. Foster thinks it made a lot of sense since she probably had very conservative clothing on and maybe she could tell that she followed orders good since she jump off the piano bench as soon as she was told.
