  • Essay On Away By Michael Gow

    The intense word choice of “huge” to describe the hat may further be seen as a symbol of grief and the mourning of her son’s death. Coral and her husband, Roy’s journey to the Gold Coast can also be seen as both a physical and emotional venture as we can see the assumed release of anguish and mourning of Roy and Coral through the use of the beach’s shells. The physical metaphor of the “Shells” and them being placed in her hat may act as an emotional going ‘Away’ of grief and loss. Further the beach is often associated with relaxation and “letting go” of all worries which is also seen as a parallel to coral as her and her husband after the

    I think the narrator is saying that like the sea his mother is dark and intimidating like her people who are also fishing people. In my opinion I think the mother makes the mood of the story dark and melancholy. She wants so much out of her husband and children, and when they don’t do what she wants she doesn’t talk to them. The mother puts too much pressure on the family to do what her family did. I can understand that the mother didn’t want to be alone, but as a mother you should want you kids to do better than you did and want them to succeed in life.

Gay speaks of her childhood on the beaches of Haiti and how beautiful it was, but how different it is in the United States because there's such a high expectation for the beach since many areas aren’t surrounded by them. “The beach becomes a kind of utopia — the place where all our dreams come true”(Gay), meaning the beach becomes romanticized by so many when in reality there’s just sand in places where it doesn't belong whether in your book or on your body. Gay expresses how soon after arriving at the beach boredom approaches from having nothing to do besides
