For it describes men as very passive in pursuing their aspirations and women very aggressive in their pursuit in their of their goals. In the way it describes men as watching their dreams like watching a ship on the horizon it shows in the quote that men are not aggressive, how it depicts their dreams that may come in on the tide, also shows the men have no doing in acquiring their dreams. Then the quote goes on to say that women “act and do things accordingly” thus showing that they are aggressive in their journey to acquire their dreams. This is relevant to the story in that it is foreshadowing for it is forecasting the events that are happen in the chapters 1 and 2. For instance the event where the grandmother does not want her grand daughter to marry a man that will not treat her with respect and how the grandmother wants her daughter to marry some one that will respect her. The events and the ideas that lead up to that dream is true to the quote. For it showed the aggressiveness of the grandmother to keep her grand daughter away from harm.
