In my opinion, “In an Armenian woman's life, the needle, the ladle, and the pen are
inseparable." quote shows how society sees Armenian women. Armenian women are expected to e at
home and do housekeeping all day long. Armenian women are responsible for taking care of their kids,
husband, and for making sure that all their needs at the house are satisfied. The wife of the household is
responsible for the meal that’s why according to the quote ladle is inseparable in a Armenian woman’s
life. Before families hardly afforded for clothes that’s why sometimes the mother of the family was
sewing clothings for family members, moreover, they were fixing the worn out clothes with the help of a
needle and thread. Thus, back in the old times, needle was considered to be inseparable part of
Armenian woman’s life. Pen is considered to be inseparable part of Armenian woman’s life as in
Armenian families being literate and educated is very important. Armenian families give so much
importance to education and no matter of their financial status, they make sure that their kids get high
education regardless of gender. Pen symbolizes wisdom of Armenian women. However, in my opinion
lots of things have been changed during these years. The society and the way the society expects
Armenian women to be has been changed. Nowadays, the stereotype that Armenian woman has to stay
home and has to take care of housekeeping has been changed. Most of the women work and they don’t
have enough time to make meal for everyday. Thus, the ladle is not an inseparable part of Armenian
woman’s life anymore. Sometimes, either husband helps wife with housekeeping or the family dines
outdoors. As time goes on, we will hardly see people who sew their clothes or fix their worn out
clothes. Nowadays, most of the people afford for clothing. So needle has become a separable part of
Armenian woman’s life. Pen has always been and it is still an inseparable part of our lives because
Armenian families give so much significance to eduction.
