Utopia

This story is unlike all of the other stories we have read in many ways. First off it is an actual story and not an epic poem like the others. This story is a lot easier to read and understand unlike the others as well. The thing that struck me most about this story is that they view women differently than any other historic story I have ever read. For example, in the epic poems we have read women are very quiet, keep to themselves and do not have a lot of free will. However in Utopia, the women are allowed to do everything that we are allowed to do today. They can vote, work, become priests and they can fight. This is unheard of in any other story written in this time period.
