Chrysanthemums are the central symbol of life, vital energies, sexuality in the story. Just like Elisa herself, they need nurturing and attendance. She lives a boring and unfulfilled life in a dull, loveless marriage, and she has never had a chance of finding her true self, except in the garden.

That is why she commits to gardening so eagerly: because she couldn't bear to see those flowers withered. At the end of the story, she sees her chrysanthemums on the road, thrown away, "a dark speck" as Steinbeck says. They are wasted, just like Elisa's life, love, and happiness.

What evidence do you find in the oral tradition that European culture influenced native American beliefs about creation?
valkas [14]

In the Sioux creation story, the Creating Power flood the world because the creatures in it were bad and were destroying it. Then It put all of the living creatures on it again and humans as well, and told them that if they made the world bad and ugly once again, It would destroy that world too.

This creation story resembles the Christian flood myth, a story that the Europeans brought with them to the New World.

The air was rent by piercing cries . What does it mean and what figurative language they using ?!
tangare [24]

Answer:

It means to disturb "the air." For example, the piercing cries is what the air is being disturbed by, so in general, it was silent when all of a sudden it has become disturbed or interrupted. I think this is a metaphor but I'm not sure.

*sorry if im wrong*
