Story: An Orbituary For Fifth Aunt Came Late
Conflicts
Internal
-Mother and her children
The mother continuously bewailed her lot of nine children , thirteen is you counted the dead babies with endless chores and drudgery (pg 152)
External
- Mother & Husband
The tight-lipped husband who positioned himself at the dinner-table-the-bed-out-the-front-door , who even she stopped simpering to when he opened his mouth and said “tea” or “hungry already” , and it then fell upon her to break the code (pg 152)
-Aunt & Her Mother
When she was six years old, my aunt developed a bronchial cough that wouldn’t go away even after taking weeks of murky, dark brews. The concoctions were so foul-smelling (smelly) and bitter and no amount of sugar could make them palatable. Don’t waste our sugar , her mother said , your brothers need the sugar for their school sandwiches (pg 152)
Climax
Resolution
Characters
Fifth Aunt
.She is caring (She would put others before herself , she would fill everyone’s bowl before filling hers(pg 150))
.She is filial (She lived in her mother’s house,“ My aunt was in her fifties . She lived in my grandmother’s house” (pg 149))
Grandmother
.She is traditional (She is biased on the males, “Don’t waste our sugar …Your brothers need the sugar for their school sandwiches” (pg 152)
Narrator
.She is disrespectful (She did not treat her aunt they way she should be, “She was my aunt, but I didn’t make it a point to be her niece” (pg 149))
The most interesting part in this story was about the grandmother being biased and showed favoritisms to the males. I wonder if it is still happening until today. I do not know why only males are being loved by the people. Therefore this is the most interesting part in this story as after that it make me want to read more.
