What would you do? you have been shipwrecked on an island. you meet a god/goddess who
falls in love with you and wants you to stay with them forever. in return
they will make you immortal. however, all you really want to do is get
home and be with your family. what would you choose? why?

Go home because if you are made immortal, you will keep making the same mistakes for all of eternity. You will watch your family and friends pass on, and you cannot be or go with them. At least going home makes the time you have with them all the more precious.

Hope this helps!

femininity is conveyed through bernice's personality. she doesn't act how the other girls act and everyone thinks she is weird. she learns how to act in a way that was considered femininely appropriate at the time. she becomes so popular but her attempts to be liked end up backfiring when she is pressured into bobbing her hair. the author wrote that bernice cut off her cousin's hair in revenge for tricking her to cut her hair. this was the authors way of trying to change the way feminine is defined and the way women are expected to act.
