Communication is of paramount importance. But how do we communicate? How do the young convey their hopes and dreams and aspirations to grandparents where there could be 70 years difference in age? How do the grand parents convey the wisdom they have gathered during that 70 years and are in the process of having it evaporate as death approaches and pain becomes a constant companion? That is what the story is mainly about. It is about 4 generations trying to say something to one another and all of them having difficult conveying what they wanted or knew. The girl could only see that there was a road block between her and what she loved. The young boy (Ian) could only be content because he was bathed in attention. The mother was caught between two people, one whom she loved and one that the culture trained her to respect. And the husband only understood that there was money problems and he had to find a way to make everyone content. It's a complex story with no easy resolution: the ending convinces us of nothing.

We have to look at all the complexities of the story to even begin to understand each person's point of view. The key to it is grandmother who brings all her understanding of the world with her and she is hard pressed to compromise with her view of the world. Her treatment of Ian and the way she treats the girl telling the story makes her a sad figure really because she does not ever realize until the end what the ribbons binding her feet and those of the ballet slippers were quite different. I don't know if you could say there was an uneasy acceptance of the situation or not. The grandmother was the key. She was dealing with two young American children. She was the one who had to understand them. She was in a different place, and her daughter could not be assertive enough to tell what she needed to know.
The answer is to help the reader visualize a house bordered by smaller cottages
<em>He was spending his summer vacation, as he always did, with his mother at Grand Isle. In former times, before Robert could remember, "the house" had been a summer luxury of the Lebruns. Now, flanked by its dozen or more cottages, which were always filled with exclusive visitors from the "Quartier Français," it enabled Madame Lebrun to maintain the easy and comfortable existence which appeared to be her birthright.</em>
The author uses the word <u>flanked</u> meaning, according to Cambridge<em> "to be at the side of someone or something"</em> to let the reader imagine a large, luxurious and expensive house surrounded by small cottages but equally important since they were exclusive to the inhabitants of the French quarter.

‘Integrity‘ is a prominent concept for moral wellbeing in our society. This contribution from every individual in a nation will reflect the completeness of the nation. India is a country with diversity in religion, culture and languages. People have diverse mindset, views and interpretations, but there should be no compromise in national integrity which emerges at individual levels only. Integrity builds moral ethics that eventually helps to confront corruption and other moral evils. It should be noted that integrity is a crucial concept for constructing a sound nation.
{Integrity in a Community}
When it comes to the inclusive growth and development of a community, integrity plays a crucial role. If a community is synchronised and acts as a coherent system with sound morals, it will be a very prosperous community. The culture of building moral lessons starts with the kids and it becomes a continuous cycle of morality. A community without integrity will see a definite fall over time. Integrity in a Community can be classified into two fundamental types: 1.Academic Integrity
2.Professional Integrity
{Academic Integrity}
Academic integrity is a systematic approach where the teachers, students, researchers act with honesty, mutual trust, respect and responsibility. Academic integrity is indispensable to build a good moral character of the students so that they can follow the same principles throughout their life. A true form of integrity nurtures a future leader.
Students should be well mannered, should acknowledge the efforts of teachers and parents for their wellbeing. Students should accurately complete their homework with proper disciplines. In college or university, the students should follow these basic principles in a broader sense.
{Professional Integrity}
Professional integrity is the key to the growth and development of any organisation. It is a trustful relationship between employee and employer and also between team members or colleagues. Integrity in a workplace creates a positive environment that promotes healthier productivity. In the workplace, praise or recognition of good work is as essential as the constructive criticism of devalued work. Professional integrity in an organisation is very important as it is linked with the numerous members of each family of the
employees.
{Conclusion}
The kids should be taught the proper lesson of integrity from a very young age. It will help them to take greater responsibility in the later stage of their life. They should be taught to be helpful when others are in need. A proper lesson thus makes a kid an enthusiast, fearless, kind, respectful, humble and purposeful human being which the world needs desperately to survive.
