voice to look severe, the kindness of the workers affected that she was ashamed. These good guys make her want to know more about them. When Laura finds one fellow pinches a sprig of lavender to nose and snuff up the smell, she doubts previous value for the first time. She begins to suspect whether the influence from her mother is on earth right or wrong. "Why couldn't she has workmen for her friends rather than the silly boys she danced with ?" She even wants just like a work-girl. She realized that these absurd class distinctions should be looped up or left to hang. But she is just a lively little girl, lacking life experience. She is attracted to the roomful pleasure without much attention on the subject. With yummy cream puffs, Laura immersed herself in this beautiful fairyland. In her eyes, life should be like this: flowers everywhere, smiles everywhere.
The sunny day, the lively atmosphere, and the radiant canna lilies all indicate Laura's longing for the upcoming party. She is full of expectation and enthusiasm for life. Why there are so many flowers? They not only contribute to the atmosphere, but also echo with Laura. Although the flowers warm everywhere at the blaze of lilies, although they are radiant, almost frighteningly alive on bright crimson stems, they will eventually wither. Jus

The death of the poor carter, Scott, brings her back to the cruel reality. The pathetic man has left a wife and five little ones. Laura is shocked by the death. For the respect for the deceased, she hoped to stop the party." We can't possibly have a garden-party with a man dead just outside the front gate; they'd hear us; they're nearly neighbors!''

Despite Laura repeats pleas, Jose takes the liberty of speculating that perhaps the man has been drunk before the accident. This made her dispirited at persuading her sister, and she turned to her mother for help. When Mrs.Sheridan learns that the death has nothing to do with the whole family, she immediately falls silent. Laura, Jose, Mrs.Sheridan,their different reactions to their neighbor's death represent two different worldviews. Laura thinks it will be difficult to hold the garden party when they have already learned of the death of her neighbor, because someone is crying and grieving in a corner not far away. Yet Jose and Mrs.Sheridan think it should not stop their joy. What follows, with its dreamlike white beginnings, is a black death--- physical and mental, the death of the driver, and the loss of bourgeois women's sympathy. The originally kind heart of Laura doesn't know where to go.

This black hat trims with golden daisies, and a long black velvet ribbon. Seeing this charming girl in the mirror, never have Laura imagined she could look like that. Is mother right? "She thought. And now she hoped her mother was right. Just for a moment she had another glimpse of that poor woman and those little children, and the body being carried into the house. But it all seems blurred, unreal, like a picture in the newspaper. She decides to remember it again after the party's over for that seems quite the best plan. She is just an innocent girl, easily influenced by others. This beautiful hat used to be Mrs.Sheridan's. It's a symbol of adulthood. Claiming the hat is too young to fit her, Mrs.Sheridan has popped it on her before Laura could stop her. This action suggests the Laura is not a child any more. The black hat also symbolizes the indifference and selfishness of the bourgeoisie under wealth and pomp. It is used to hide the truth, is a form of decoration, and is a symbol of bourgeois values and traditions. A series of thoughts behind her mirror show her compromise with her authoritative mother. Such vacillation is also understandable, but also for the subsequent metamorphosis does a reasonable foreshadowing.
When the party is over, Mrs.Sheridan sees what is left on the table and suddenly comes up with the idea of giving it to the wife of the dead man. Again, Laura thinks it's not advisable. Take scraps from their party. Would the poor woman really like that?" But she does that finally. The disgusting and sordid road makes her go through with a shudder. Laura is terribly nervous. Especially when she reached the door of the dead man's house, she was overwhelmed by the mournful atmosphere. Seeing the man's face looked like the calm expression of sleep, she seems to know a lot at once, but can't express it. He was given up to his dream. What does garden-parties and baskets and lace frocks matter to him? The man fars from all those things. While they are laughing and while the band is playing, this marvel has come to the lane.&All is wel
l, says that sleeping face. Laura totally regrets wearing the black hat trimmed with golden daisies. She gives a loud childish sob.
