From "Desiree's Baby" by Kate Chopin It was no wonder, when she stood one day against the stone pillar in whose shadow she had l
ain asleep, eighteen years before, that Armand Aubigny riding by and seeing her there, had fallen in love with her. That was the way all the Aubignys fell in love as if struck by a pistol shot. The wonder was that he had not loved her before; for he had known her since his father brought him home from Paris, a boy of eight after his mother died there. The passion that awoke in him that day, when he saw her at the gate, swept along like an avalanche, or like a prairie fire, or like anything that drives headlong over all obstacles. If this story were changed so that Armand told the story, which point of view would the story be written from?
the travelers and the llamas are connected. "Knitting their cheeks" is figurative language implying that the people and llamas are analyzing the travelers' movement and displacement from the scene. Knitting refers to the close scrutiny of the travelers and the gaze weaving and intertwining their narratives.
