Hello this week I read the book about The Garden Party and Other Stories by Katherine Mansfield.The intro suggest a wealthy, normal, and happy family. Laura appears to supervise the tent, but is not allowed to decide where it should be placed. Her sisters strike sophisticated poses; one sings a gruesome song and flashes a big smile. Laura’s mother protests that she will leave the arrangements to her children but organizes the party anyway, providing expensive flowers, a band, and dainty sandwiches.
Then comes the news that turns Laura’s day around: A man has been killed in an accident, a man who lived in a lower-class cottage almost next to their home. Laura’s instinctive reaction is that the party must be stopped, since the man’s family might hear the band playing. Her sisters and her mother argue with her. She does not change her mind until she sees herself in a mirror—a lovely girl with a spectacular black hat trimmed with gold daisies—and until her brother Laurie compliments her. The party goes ahead, a typically exciting, shallow Mansfield party. Guests compliment Laura, especially on her hat. When the party is over, her mother tries to make amends by filling a basket with party leftovers and sending Laura with it to the dead man’s cottage.
The journey at dusk is frightening. Laura walks into a different world, a lower-class world of grieving, ill-dressed, unsophisticated people. At the dead man’s house, she gives the widow her basket. She is led against her wishes to the bedroom where the corpse has been laid out. Laura, however, is not horrified, but sees the corpse as merely sleeping. She sees death as something calm and even beautiful, something far removed from her silly afternoon. “Forgive my hat,” she says. She has had an epiphany. Her reply is woefully inadequate, but the reader has been shown a character’s moment of understanding and growth. The reader has had an epiphany as well, though it is not the same as Laura’s.
The story's ending is Laura heads home and meets her brother. She tries to say something but cannot find the words. She thinks he understands, but whether he does is left unclear. As usual, Mansfield does not push her case too far
Hi. This week i read High Life Low Life by Alan Battersby. The story is not very complicated as it is quite easy to understand. It shows the gap between high life(wealthy life), and low life(not wealthy life) and also shows some common things about 2 very different women. One being very wealthy, the other not at all.It's about a private investigator in New York City, Nat Marly, and his tries to solve every problem he encountered. He evaluated all the clues to solve the problem. He met an old, homeless woman, Annie Clayton, who was dying and wanted to see her son before she died because she hasn't seen him for 20 years. Nat also met an old and wealthy widow, Mrs Wittaker, and the book was mostly about how their lives (Mrs Wittaker, Annie Clayton, and Nat) intertwined.
