Wedding at the Cross

Wedding at the Cross was a very interesting and sad story all at the same time.  It was about a wife and a husband who was in prisoner on this island.  The couple had a little girl together in which the little girl had not seen her father in years. It was almost as if the little girl didn't know her father she just knew of him. Wedding at the Cross really demonstrates women that is strong and can take of her child alone not idealistically.  The short story was so sad and disappointing in my opinion because number one the father was in prison and when the father returned home the little girl didn't want to come to him, she didn't know him.  Also the mother didn't know what to say or ask him when they were along the story describes.  Another reason why it is so disappointing because this man comes home from prison gets the wife pregnant again and leaves.  How sad is that and how heartbroken she must of felt but joyous that she has children because in Africa having children is what makes a women.  This short story really relates to the women in today's society.  Meaning women today are struggling to manage a home, work, and children by themselves because their significant other is locked away in prison.  The scenario that takes place in the short story is taking place in some one's household where the man comes home from prison gets her pregnant and leaves.  I believe that the author did a great job with the story because Wedding at the cross really does relate to today's society.
