The beginning of chapter seven starts off on a lighter note. In the poem “The Benefits of Ignorance” questions “if ignorance is bliss”‚ the father says that the child should look blissful if that is true.

The wife would nearly put herself on a pedestal‚ and would use her husband’s money to buy herself elegant clothing. However

Coraghessan Boyle My parents would always ask me when I was younger‚ if I would jump off a bridge if so and so told me to do it? I would always respond no and they would say then why did you (insert stupid childish behavior)?

usually considered voluntary because the individual is still in control of his or her actions. Something done in ignorance may be called involuntary if the person later recognizes his or her ignorance‚ but it is not voluntary if the person does not recognize or suffer for such ignorance.
