Hair

Hair Response to Hair I think Marcia Aldrich’s essay “Hair” is an interesting interpretation of the different personalities she encounters in her life. She bases her story around her mother’s obsession with her hairstyle. She makes sure to point out that her mother’s weekly appointment to get her hair done is a ritual. I think this is a good representation of the life her mother leads. Maybe since she got married she feels like she doesn’t have control over much anymore and has taken a more submissive position as “wife.” Therefore she feels that she needs to control the things she can have control over. That’s why she religiously does her own hair and also feels the need to control Marcia’s hair. The oldest sister seems like she is very laid back. She makes the statement, “it’s immature to never stop thinking about your hair.” I think this is a good indication that her sister feels comfortable with herself and doesn’t worry about looks or needing to have control in hair, feels, control, think, sister, over, mother, makes, life, good, doesn’t, about, therefore, statement, shows, seems, point, person, out, never, mother’s, middle, maybe, looks, it’s, interesting, hairstyle, essay, end, different, because, worry, women’s, women, wife
