Reflection - What are you learning personally as a result of reading this text?
Which are the differences in society
between now and then?
Well, it’s obvious, women which lived in the ninetieth century didn’t had the same rights like women do have today. As a woman, you are free to do what you want nowadays. You are allowed to go where you want and go by yourself. Further, are you able to inherit the property of your relations. 200 years ago, it was impossible for woman to inherit anything. Everything went to a male relation, even if the daughters and the wife never ever had seen this relation before. So that could had had the effect, that they became poor and destitute on a day-to-day basis.
Besides do you in our culture, only
marry, if you love someone, not because of rank, money and influence etc. Moreover,
aren’t there these strict expectations about the manners, the attitude etc. We
still have some expectations in manners but you also are more or less free in
what you want to say and how your attitude is. So, you can be yourself more or
less. Except you are a little bit special and, for instance, you wear a special
type of clothes, then will you be called an “odd person” and the people will
talk about you, especial if you live at the countryside (I know this by myself,
I am a country bumpkin). Anyway, it isn’t that extreme with the expectations
nowadays like 200 years before.
Further don’t we have any classes of people which you can’t overcome. There are still people which are really poor and don’t have the same chances like rich people do have. But it isn’t the same impossibility like it was 200 years before.

I like the questions you're looking at in your blog. But please make sure to answer some of mine too by the end :) Pay attention to relative pronouns (somebody WHO/THAT, women WHO/THAT, which is used for objects). "On a day-to-day basis" means "täglich". I think you want to say "So that could HAVE the effect, that they might become poor and destitute any day".
AntwortenLöschenThis sentence doesn't work: Besides do you in our culture, only marry, if you love someone. It's strange to have "you" and then OUR culture. And it sounds like a question with the verb, subject order. Better: Besides, in our culture we only marry for love, not for... . Next sentence again you have verb, subject, as if it were a question. And at the end again: "Further don’t we have..." . How come? Pay attention to this in the future.
