Why do you think that her mom, grandma, and the servants are so strong about getting her feet binded and her father is not?
My answer: I think that her father is more accepting of his daughter and I think that her father thinks that she should be able to make some of her own decisions. I think that maybe all of the women in their house think that it's more crucial that she has her feet bound so that she could get married, and maybe they think that there is no possible way for her to get married if she doesn't have her feet bound. I also think that maybe all of the women are more traditional, and maybe her fathers job has something to do with him being more acceptant to change even if there's conciquences.
ps: Comments/answer are due on the 19th.

1) I think that her mom and grandma and also their servents want her feet binded because it is a big tradition that they belive in. And I think that they do not want to break that tradition. I think that her father does not want her feet binded because I think that he is letting her do what she wants to do to her own body. I also agree with you that her father is letting her to her own desicions.

I think that it is more than just that he wants to let her do what she wants to do, I think that he thinks she should get to make her own decisions. But maybe the women think that since they had to go through it too then she should have to also.
ps: Trent and Lindsay, please make a post on your own blog instead of commenting on mine.
sorry this is soo late
i think that the women want her to get her feet bound because they all had to had thier feet bound, and it is a tradition, but the dad thinks that some of the traditions are coming to an end, and china is changing, and i think she is a daddys little girls, and i dont think he wants her going through all of the pain, and he knows that she loves to play and run around too.
