The author states that women are accident prone in high-stress situations, so they should be kept out of combat situations. To illustrate, he presents a real example about one of the first American women helicopter pilots, Marie Rossi. She killed herself and her force because she could not handle the stress. To be more convincing, the writer gives another example, which is also about stress problems. This instance is quietly the same with Marie Rossi’s case, Lt. Kara Hultgreen- the first woman flied F-14 fighter died in October 1994 because of loss of control when she crashed into the sea.

She had good relationships with her mother, father, and brother, but the relationship with her sister was more estranged.
It is amazing that only through great hardships, such as Esch having to fight Manny and her finding out that she is pregnant, could she receive true insight. Unfortunately, Esch’s blindness cost her her childhood and possibly a natural relationship with someone her own age. Blindness can normally be defined as the inability of one to see, but according to Fuertes and Ward, blindness is not only a physical impairment, but also a “mental flaw” that can consume someone and can be rather “unfortunate”. One of Ward's more subtle themes in her novel, Salvage the Bones, is that of blindness. Esch, the main character and heroine of the award-winning novel by Jesmyn Ward that portrays the life of a rural Mississippi family before, after, and during Hurricane Katrina, embodies Ward’s theme of subconscious blindness, by showing it to be the primary cause of Esch’s bad decisions and self-loathing.
