    ... his mother had passed in the “spring instead of the winter” their marriage “would not have happened” (Wharton 56). Deep irony and tragedy appears numerously throughout the novel.

Whenever Zeena leaves town to seek new advice from a new doctor, she often goes to a town called Springfield.

    1116 Words  | 3 Pages

    In Binghamton, New York, snow fell for the first time in years that resulted in Sedaris and his siblings to have school canceled over five days (Faigley 89). Over their five-day vacation from school, things around the house started to get complicated. After a long day of sledding, Sedaris observes his mother pulling the drapes shut when the siblings were yelling to, “Open the door!” (Faigley 89). One thought that came to Sedaris’s mind after trying endlessly to get back inside the house was to have someone get hit by a car (Faigley 90). Sedaris’s mother was an alcoholic, and her problem affected him and his siblings greatly. The reader will explain why he and his siblings did what they did to get their mother’s attention. Sedaris’s tone, word choice, and by the way he organized his essay of “Let It Snow,” made it easy to connect with the reader on many levels.

  • Gloria Naylor's Mama Day

    1245 Words  | 3 Pages

    George and Ophelia grow up in significantly different environments with exposure to vastly dissimilar experiences; their diverse backgrounds have a profound impact on the way they interpret and react to situations as adults. George and Ophelia both grow up without their parents, but for different reasons. George grows up at the Wallace P. Andrews Shelter for Boys in New York. The Shelter’s strict surroundings did not provide the warm and inviting atmosphere that a mother strives for in a home. The employees at the Shelter are not “loving people,” (p. 23) but they are devoted to their job, and the boys. At a young age, Ophelia loses her mother. We learn very little about her apparently absent father. Mama Day and Abigail raise Ophelia. Abigail provides a source of comfort and love for Ophelia as she fulfills the role of mother figure. Mama day, Ophelia’s great aunt, acts more as a father figure. “If Grandma had been there, she would have held me when I broke down and cry. Mama Day only said that for a long time there would be something to bring on tears aplenty.” (p. 304). Ophelia grows up on the small island of Willow Springs. Everyone knows each other and their business, in the laid-back island community. The border between Georgia and South Carolina splits down the middle of the island. Instead of seeing any advantage to belonging to either state, the townspeople would prefer to operate independently. For George and Ophelia, the differences in their backgrounds will have a tremendous impact on many facets of their adult lives.

    ...will not be returning to her. The guilt and sorrow of the statement “in my heart there stirs a quiet pain” invokes the notion that it is not that she regrets love but that love is gone. “The central phrase in this section is “quiet pain,” and almost oxymoron suggesting that the narrator’s grief is muted or accepted. Millay offers a brief glimpse of things to come as well: There will be no intimacy in the future” (Schurer). The mention of two season in the poem are symbols of a life span. “Thus in winter stands the lonely tree,” is an indication that this is near the end of the narrator’s life and she is alone without love. “winter brings stagnation and acceptance of what has been lost. Winter was inevitable, just as the loss of love was inevitable I only know that summer sand in me A little while, that in me sings no more,” is a symbol of youth. Millay conveys that

    Winter is portrayed as a callous season. Our narrator is too afraid of being harmed by the harsh winds of winter, to allow herself to open up and seek comfort in sharing. Winter does not represent an actual physical season, but rather an internal state of mind. So chilled is the narrators heart that she cannot feel comfortable enough to seek warmth. But, it is in those harsh winter months that one must open up the most, and find human connection in order to survive. Winter cannot be survived on one’s own. The reader must ask what has made our narrator so unhappy that she cannot seek or make her own comfort but rather be forced to wait passively until warmer and safer days. The narrator says that she wears a mask for warmth, but by wearing a mask she is not only separating herself from the cold, but from the entirety of the world. Also, even when she understands that her listeners will not harm her, even if she does reveal her secret, she still is too afraid to say
