Lulu’s Broom
Saya heard the footsteps of the pound to know who came, impatiently sighed and said, "She is coming." Suddenly, the door of the study was abruptly opened, Lulu shouted "It’s today! Saya! Today is my big day!” Saya's fat figure was pouring jasmine juice to the pot with a snappily mumbled: "We all know it is today.”But Lulu jumped around in the study and did not listen to what Saya had said. She mashed the scarab then added the mint leaves to the blue potions that had been done, creating a small mushroom cloud. "I'm going to change my clothes." Lulu said. Then she ran out of the study, jumped on the top of the corridor’s beam, like a monkey swung into the yard. The sun had become a narrow shadow, the shadow of small Lulu had been pulled as high as the rose bushes.

    628 Words  | 3 Pages

    Which made me realize that she was not only aware of herself, but she was also aware of her mother, “I wondered if I would go through fire and water for it as my mother had done for Charles Dickens”. Welty’ proves that the awareness she has of herself is pretty great by saying, “I live in gratitude of my parents for initiating me-and as early as I begged for it, without keeping me waiting-into knowledge of the word, into reading and spelling, by way of the alphabet.” She wanted everyone to see how supportive her parents were of reading and purchasing book by using imagery to explain it. The most important literary element that takes place in Welty's’ essay is imagery. Between describing all the times her mother would read to her and imagining her opening all of her gifts from normal childhood toys to books, really makes the reader aware of the development of her life changing force.

    She hopes for a world where there is only her and no responsibility, so she attempts to separate herself from reality but inevitably struggles to do so. The reader is therefore within two worlds that the mother is seeing, her ideal and reality. The reader soon learns that both those worlds are blurred, and the mother has an incredibly difficult time separating the two. The “vanished cricket” (7) she saw may be a representation of herself describing her own lost opportunity of wishing that she could vanish or even turn back the clock to a better and less stressful time in her life. Her struggle for some peace of mind is like an unreachable dream with all her hopes relinquished

    In a sense, the play is a tragedy of the traditional society. It is a tragedy for the society represented by Torvald because that society had been confidently dealing with women in that manner which it regarded as correct and just. Now that a woman has suddenly given it a blow at almost its bases — the religion, traditional values, education, the institution of marriage, and so on — the society is facing a crisis, or a tragedy. If all the women, who are of course treated no better than this, do the same, the whole of the social system would collapse. And the impact would be basically the tragic destruction of the man's basis of happiness.
