By not living in the moment like the weasel, Dillard says that she “would like to learn, or remember how to live” (Dillard). Living in a world full of stress, noticing the minor details of life is not something people do. Humans live a life of choice and like weasels, who do not think about consequences of their actions, people too can enjoy life and choose to forget about the consequences.

She explains how she was never able to participate in any school activities with her friends. She also explains how depressing her conversations would be at lunch because she wasn’t relevant to the conversations. After years of sacrifice and pleading with her parents, they finally allowed her to join the basketball team as long as she continued to help with the chores around the house.

So after prolog, we begin the movie with a scene Ada and her daughter are carrying as objects. Meeting with nature at first night, Ada realizes her ‘cage’ under her skirt does not work in wild nature. There is no need to cover the body; there only need is survival. First meeting her husband, Stewart does not interest her condition; he is busy with his own disappointment about her physical. Baines is the only one who cares her tiredness or moral conditions, generally speaking her being.
She only cares abot herself and things that concern her, this is seen as her main issue at Old Major meeting was if there was going to be sugar after the rebellion and whether she'll be allowed to wear her ribbons. This displays her self centered and egoistic persona. After the rebellion, she has a difficlut time adopting to the lifestyle without humans and her fetishes. One day the animals find her in the farmhouse, where she had taken a piece of blue ribbon from Mrs. Jones's dressing-table, and was holding it against her shoulder and admiring herself in the glass in a very foolish manner. This expresses her foolish philosophy that although she was an animal she wanted to live a life of being more and that those ribbons which symbolized the oppression by the humans meant everything to her.
Alienation in Katherine Mansfield’s “Miss Brill” In Katherine Mansfield’s short story, “Miss Brill,” we as readers are confronted with the idea that fantasizing can alienate a person from the world or society and can make us lonely. “Miss Brill” displays this alienation through her fantasies of being youthful, having companions, and being important. Miss Brill visits the park and fantasizes her entire life so much that she doesn’t notice she has grown old alone. Miss Brill always speaks to her only friend, her fur stole, so much that she hasn’t thought to make any other friends. Miss Brill fantasizes so much about being important and that ”somebody would [notice] if she [wasn’t] there” (135), that she didn’t realize what the community actually thinks of her.
