Snowdrops

Dear readers,
In literature class today we read a short story that clearly portrays Growing up and grief. We had to discuss the characters and the heading.

Discuss as symbol:
Snowdrops are really fragile and represent some of the characters feelings; Miss Webster and the boy. It also symbolizes new life; after one life ends another begins

Characterization:
Edmund: He's mature in some ways but thinks very simple, "It's only bacon". He's not very curious unlike the boy.

The boy: The boy is very curious and has certain expectations about things. He's curious about "What's inside the sandwhich". He's sensitive and has a wide imagination. He believes only what people tell him and is quite obsessed with flowers. He doesn't pick up on adult social que's and understand social pain. The boy lives in a fantasy world and is very observant.

Miss Webster: She's mourning over the young man who died who she shared a quiet relationship with. She is wearing black and her voice is quite hoarse during the story which she didn't continue. She instead took the children to see the snowdrops though she is secretly seeking to see the funeral march of the young man.
