sept 20 reading

In chapter 10 Mae Tuck says the following:
 

"Life's got to be lived, no matter how long or short," she said calmly. "You got to take what comes. We just go along, like everybody else, one day at a time. Funny—we don't feel no different. Leastways, I don't. Sometimes I forget about what's happened to us, forget it altogether. And then sometimes it comes over me and I wonder why it happened to us.  We're plain as salt, us

Tucks. We don't deserve no blessings—if it is a blessing. And, likewise,

I don't see how we deserve to be cursed, if it's a curse. Still—there's no use trying to figure why things fall the way they do. Things just are, and fussing don't bring changes."

 

• Using this quote for supporting details, what do you learn about Mae Tuck's attitude towards life and its challenges?
• What do you think about her opinion?
