1 answer:
Vedmedyk [2.9K]3 years ago
8 0
Dr. Brown shows Tita how phosphorous combined with oxygen can create a flame. He shares with her one of his grandmother’s old sayings that everyone has a box of matches inside them that can only be lit by oxygen and a candle. The oxygen, says Dr. Brown is a lover and the candle can be any other pleasure in life. He claims that finding the elements to ignite the matches within is a task that each person must complete in order to nourish his soul. If a person does not discover what ignites their matches then the matchbox dampens and the soul leaves the body in search of something to nourish it.
Also this symbol of “matches” repeats throughout the book as a symbol of Tita’s happiness and her life. When all the matches are light in the end she died.

10) What could be said to be the implied moral of this story?
melamori03 [73]

Hello. You did not enter the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered accurately. In the meantime I will try to help you in the best possible way.

It is only possible to know the implicit morality of a story after reading it. However, we know that the moral of a story is a teaching that the story wants to pass on to the reader. Implicit morality, on the other hand, is also a teaching, but it is transmitted to the reader in a subjective and indirect way, but noticeable.
