the woman warrior

In out english class we just started reading "The Woman Warrior". In the beginning a young girl learns that her father had a sister who was killed because she got pregnant by someone who wasn't her husband. In the girls head she is thinking of many different reasons of why this happened. Here are two ideas:
Her first thought is what adultry means, she says, "adultry is extravagance. Could people who hatch their own chicks and eat the embryos and the heads for delicacies and boil the feet in vinegar for party food, leaving only gravel, eating even the gizzard lining--could such people engender a prodigal aunt?" When this young girl first thinks of adultry she sees it as very unnecessary. She compares it to people eating every single part of a chicken. She's saying that you could do something but when it's that disgusting you don't need to.
Her second thought is that she knew the man who did it to her, and when he asked to have sex with her she had to say yes. "She had to have dealings with him other than sex. Perhaps he worked in an ajoined field, or he sold her the cloth for the dress she sewed and wore. His demand must have surprised, then terrified her. She obeyed him; she always did as she was told." In this quote she sees the aunt through a better light. She thinks that she must have known the man from before and when he asked her she had to say yes because she had to do everything men asked her to do.
