One characteristic that shows how different languages can prove that cognitive abilities are influenced by language is a person’s spatial knowledge. A person’s spatial knowledge is built

Because Jane is so confined by society's limitations arising from her role as a female, she decides to "create a secret life as a writer" (4) as an escape.
