Conway achieves the writer's duty because she was able to write her memoirs based on events in her life that were meaningful, such as overcoming trials after the death of her father and brother.

Parallelism is used to show her connection with education and liberation. Conway found herself in school and learning, thus it made her feel free. Though Conway had a troubled childhood stricken with the death of her father & brother, had to care for her mother after her health declined, and other

I think that Mrs. Jones takes Roger to her home, because her childhood must’ve not been that great, and she wanted Roger to become a good person. In other words, she must have done some terrifying stuff during her childhood, and she doesn't want Roger, or any other kids to come up like her. She wants others to be well-behaved. Firstly, that shows how Mrs. Jones did some awful things when she was young was when it said, ¨ ¨I were young once and I wanted things I could not get.¨ There was another long pause.

Granny Grommet and Me uses the right words to set the theme, mood and tone of the story. At the start of the story, Granny and her friends get ready to go surfing. They wear their wetsuits, caps and sunblock. The words used here set the theme for the book and shows the reader that the story is about Granny going surfing. Further into the story, words and phrases such as safe, lovely and warm, ‘float me out’, peaceful and ‘shut my eyes and clench my toes’ encourage the reader to feel the emotions that the child in the story is feeling.

Another key characteristic of Miss Brill is her critical behavior. Miss Brill is extremely observant of the people and the environment in the park. Mansfield proposes her critical trait is related to her complete mental lack of companionship. Miss Brill observes very detailed things about people that others would not notice at first glance. “Wasn’t the conductor wearing a new coat, too? She was sure it was new” (201). It is obvious to see Miss Brill as a bit delusional about the happenings around her. With a detailed eye, Miss Brill also describes how the band

There are numerous styles to express topics in writing, one of the most prominent styles is poetry. Poetry has been a style since the birth of literature.

In the story "Miss Brill," an old, lonely lady spends her Sunday observing people in a park. Although ignored by everyone around her, Miss Brill manages to convince herself that she is really an integral part of the scene and would be missed if she weren't there. Her illusion is shattered by a chance remark at the end of the story, and she returns home, clearly devastated by her new understanding of her place in life. What this story is trying to illustrate is that sometimes people can be happy through living in an illusion. However, this kind of happiness is fragile and can be easily destroyed.

The details as told, seem to be coming directly from Miss Brill at times. The narrator gets us settled into the park with Miss Brill and tells us that she sees those around her as “odd, silent, nearly all old, and from the way they stared they looked as though they’d just come from dark little rooms or even-even cupboards!” This tells me that Miss Brill sees herself differently than she sees others, not odd or funny. She is a part of all this life and activity at the park! An actor in the grand play and “somebody would have noticed if she hadn’t been there.” She really loved to be out with others and thought that she was very much a part of the world and not apart from it. Don’t we all feel this way? Some people are truly introverted and care little of interacting, but I think the majority of us strive to become part of the world and at times feel like this life is one big drama and we have a big part. Our role might only be important for one scene, but we feel like the leading man or woman at times. The narrator leads us to what appears to be a fitting climax; a crescendo of music and song, with all players involved. Miss Brill’s dreams of this were quickly shattered. The comments by the young people, “Why does she come here at all-who wants her? Why doesn’t she keep her silly mug at home?” leaves Miss Brill with the cold realization that she is in fact like the odd, old people that she watches in the

The story of “Miss Brill,” by Katherine Mansfield, is about an old English teacher, who lives by herself and visits the park every Sunday. Miss Brill sits at the same spot every Sunday, quietly observing her surrounding and listing in on other people’s conversations. Through this observation, she pretends that she is a part of this extravagant play taking place in real life, but in reality, she is just sad and lonely and wants to be a part of something that she doesn’t have.

Aforementioned, Miss Brill, an elderly woman, sits in a park within walking distance of her residence, and observes. That is essentially the sum of the story, the shortened version. This is because she is likely very lonely, as shown by the author, literally in the name, Miss Brill. Not Ms. Brill, not Mrs. Brill, but Miss, which is done to emphasize that she is unmarried. The purpose of this is to point out that she doesn’t have anyone of significance in her life and that she is probably lonely. This is important because it points out why someone, in their right mind, would want to sit around a park all day and watch people. Except she doesn’t just watch them, she dreams up narratives and ponders the possible conversations they’re having, and gives them a role to fill in her
