Both  The Cuban  Swimmer and  The Sound of Voice feature characters who face the misunderstanding of their society, and, to an extent, the people close to them.  Compare these two works, talking specifically about whether these characters can overcome these prejudices and expectations to take their lives into their own hands.  Make sure to look at the mysterious endings of these stories.  Do you think something supernatural or miraculous is happening - or do you think the author meant the ending symbolically (or perhaps both)?
