Do you agree with the first two paragraphs of this chapter? Explain why you agree or disagree with the narrator

The novel begins with a statement about the differences between the dreams of men and women. Men's dreams are like distant ships. For some men, the ship comes in and the dream is realized very quickly. For other men, the ship sails for a long, long time on the horizon. By the time these dreams finally can be realized, so much time has passed that the dreams are worthless. Women don't wait and watch for their "ship to come in." Some women have dreams and some do not. And for women, the mere possession of the dream is what matters: "The dream is the truth." I'm not sure about the genderspecific part of this. Men and women are both people with emotions, hopes, dissapointments.... I think this depends on the specific person.
