    The simple answer is that Dana has something to look forward to --  a life in the 20th century -- while Alice only has a life of slavery for herself and her children to look forward to. However, I suspect that your question may be related to a course assignment, so I will not back up my answer with evidence from the novel! I hope you can take the hint I've written and open your book to find something to cite.

    jmg55 you are partialy right and wrong. The reason Alice died is because she did not overcome her character flaw and so she dies. Dana on the other hand did and does not die.
