Even she had a part and came every Sunday.”(9) She even enjoyed of being an invisible person by eavesdropping in other’s lives. “She had become really quite expert, she thought, at listening as though she didn’t listen, at sitting in other people’s lives just for a minute while they talked round her.”(3) However, because of her present at the park, the girl refused her boyfriend’s inappropriate request, the girl’s reaction made the boy angry at Miss Brill. At that moment, the young people made some rude remarks towards Miss Brill. These remarks changed her life at this early fall sunny afternoon. “It’s her fur-ur which is so funny,” giggled the girl.
In the poem In The Park, the woman pretends to someone that her little bundles-of-joy are just that, angelic children. As he walks away however, she confesses to nobody that ‘they have eaten me alive.’ This expression demonstrates the feeling of being alone and ignored. The mother in Suburban Sonnet expresses her anxiety in trying to achieve with small children. The mother is overwhelmed by how much she has to do – cook dinner, clean up after her children, keep them entertained and comfort them, presenting the views of many mothers. The language Gwen Harwood uses in these poems emphasises the feeling of drained energy and failure in other aspects of their lives (for example fugue playing).

She liked to hike and smell the flowers, which was considered practically against the law. Clarisse and Montag really hit it off when they first met. She told Guy her thoughts on the world, such as, “I sometimes think drivers don't know what grass is, or flowers, because they never see them slowly.” Or, “Have you ever heard
Fitzgerald uses many symbols to indicate the characters’ personalities in the story, among which the cemetery is a representative one. In chapter Ⅱ, when Sally Carrol and her boyfriend, a northern man named Harry Bellamy, are walking in the afternoon, “and she found their steps tending half-unconsciously toward one of her favorite haunts, the cemetery” (Fitzgerald). In most people’s eyes, the cemetery is the symbol of death and despair. They do not want to come close to it, let alone saunter there, because the cemetery may depress them. However, Sally Carrol loves going to the cemetery where she feels comfortable.

The story opens with the experienced mother placing the responsibility of their annual garden party on the shoulders of her daughter stating “I’m determined to leave everything to you children this year”(Mansfield 2347). Although the mother explicitly gave this responsibility to Laura she reserves the notion that her years of experience are of better use than her daughter’s. In the incident of the canna lilies, Mrs. Sheridan takes matters into her own hands, ordering the flowers even though she “didn’t mean to interfere” (Mansfield 2349). Laura in fact does not believe herself capable of finding a place for the simple marquee, in which she must turn to the lowly workmen for advice. Displaying her naiveté, she thinks to herself that they were “extraordinarily nice workmen”(Mansfield 2348), but due to her innocence she cannot comprehend that the lower class workers could never be her friends.
