Boys And Girls by Alice Munro — Review

The story “Boys And Girls” by Alice Munro tells about a young girl who lives in a harsh Canadian wilderness. She helps her father in daily situations as if she was a boy.

With the onset of adolescence, the parents suddenly become concerned that their child did not correspond to the generally accepted stereotype of a mother's helper.

She never suffers from the problem of gender self-identification, until a certain age comes.

However, over time, in a completely natural way, she rediscovers her role as a girl and she finds a lot of advantages. The moral of the story is that everything has its time; nature sooner or later takes its toll.
