On the surface the extract “The Loom” by R L Sasaki is a narrative about a mother who spent her time weaving, but it is also a narrative that creates a nostalgic tone and uses an extended metaphor of a loom to explore a mother’s depression and expresses the importance of family. As her children grow up and leave home, she becomes lost for a purpose in life. As a result she starts weaving a “fortress” in which she “seemed to have taken refuge” in order to cope with her emotions. The extended metaphor of the loom is used again to symbolize the mother’s emotions. The mother starts weaving with gray, brown and neutral shades, “all the shades of her life”, to express her depression.
“For though I'm small, I know many things, and my body is an endless eye through which, unfortunately, I see everything.”- Gloria Fuertes We are born learning. Those lessons learned in one’s youth are the most difficult and the most influential. In Jesmyn Ward’s novel, Salvage the Bones, Ward illustrates that wisdom does not necessarily come with age. The mistakes that Esch makes leaves her vulnerable to disappointment and suffering at a time in her life when she should be enjoying no responsibilities and not having to make life altering decisions. Although Esch eventually achieves wisdom after the hurricane, she pays a substantial price for having lived her life blindly.

As the novel opens, Allison’s narrator, Ruth Anne “Bone” Boatwright, recounts her illegitimate birth to her fifteen-year-old mother, Anney Boatwright, and her mother’s annual humiliating attempts to get her child a birth certificate without “Illegitimate” stamped across the bottom (4). In Bone’s narration of Anney’s quest for a new birth certificate without the dehumanizing stamp, Allison indicates that the category “white trash” is an ideological construct--one of the enabling myths of a bourgeois society that relies upon the exploited labor of the class it stigmatizes in order to secure its own wealth: “Mama hated to be called trash, hated the memory of every day she’d ever spent bent over other people’s peanuts and strawberry plants while they stood tall and looked at her like she was a rock on the ground” (3-4). Allison reverses the qualities associated with the privileged class--hard-working, honest, civil--and those associated with the underclass--lazy, shiftless, uncivilized. In Allison’s analysis, Anney’s employers appear inhumane, unjust, and uncivil as they objectify her body stooped in labor for their benefit; she appears hard-working and purposeful while they appear lazy and self-indulgent in their exploitation of her work. Thus the qualities ascribed to the underclass and the elite cannot embody metaphysical essences constituting the nature of each class since the allegedly defining qualities of each are interchangeable.
