In this narrative, Laura first talked about the independence of the fishermen in West Point. They lacked political power to seek help from the government, and the government officials were ignorant of their suffering. She mentioned herself being “inside” of such a kind of life and did not notice the hardship of living in this place or the “going back to nature.” Then she said she did not see women’s liberation either in her life. She described how she had to do everything that men were doing in lobstering because her husband broke his leg and there is a family to support. In the end, she emphasized the nature of independence and uniqueness of the lobstermen. She said:”The government must realize that we can’t be made into a chorus. Fishermen must remain independent.”
