English

Kisachek [45]2 years ago
6 0

The excerpt that best describes the way growing up in poverty affected Lizabeth is

  • A) “perhaps we had some dim notion of what we were, and how little chance we had of been anything else. Otherwise, why would we be so preoccupied with destruction?”

The excerpt above reveals how poverty negatively affected the children.

Even though they were vaguely aware of the depth of poverty they found themselves in, their preoccupation with destruction shows that poverty had made them expect little from life.

When a person sees no future before him, destruction might be the next resort. That was what happened to Lizabeth.

In at least one hundred and fifty words, explain the symbolic importance of the iron in the short story "I Stand Here Ironing".
motikmotik
<span>The iron is a  symbolic representation and a mirror of the struggles of the narrator as a mother. Tillie Olsen, the author of the book became a young mother during the 1940s. This led to her shifting her dreams of becoming a writer into taking care and raising her four children. <span>

</span>The story was focused on the struggles of working-class women who wanted to balance their family life as well as provide for their families. Ironing people’s clothes was one of those home-bound activities that women can do back then while at the same time help them raise their children.

The iron is also a symbolic representation of motherhood, and that it can be a tiring but also a fulfilling task that a mother can do. The story talks about humbling experiences (i.e. being a working class woman) that can still lead to values that are life-affirming. The setting of the story was during the period of nuclear war and economic recession and what women have to go through to raise their families and portray themselves as mothers in a struggling environment. <span>
