She initially admits that she doesn't feel much toward Thanksgiving, but then progresses to reflecting on the unique memories from her childhood that stick out; she realizes that her perception of tradition was surrounded by a desire to explore and see more variation in the world, experience the new. As she grows older she sees the blatant consumerism and the beauty of 'togetherness' marred by expectations of spending lots of money. As she spends more time with friends and others, they begin to see differently how Thanksgiving can be viewed from multiple perspectives; as she then marries to a husband with a larger family, more diverse, she sees the dichotomy of willing to be in a group of people but also alone. Through reflection she realizes that she actually yearns for the solitude that her childhood Thanksgiving's brought her, and the quiet time with family.

Paragraph 31
''He bit his lips in annoyance, left the coffee-house and decided not to smile or look at anyone, which was not like him at all. Suddenly he stood rooted to the spot near the front door of some house and witnessed a most incredible sight. A carriage drew up at the entrance porch. The doors flew open and out jumped a uniformed, stooping gentleman who dashed up the steps. The feeling of horror and amazement that gripped Kovalyov when he recognized his own nose defies description! After this extraordinary sight everything went topsy-turvy. He could hardly keep to his feet, but decided at all costs to wait until the nose returned to the carriage, although he was shaking all over and felt quite feverish.''
Answer: To show how people are taking themselves too seriously although they are the same as others
Explanation:
In this paragraph, we can the main situation in ''The Nose'' by Nikolai Gogol and that is Kovalyov's nose loss which is showing a lot of irony and grotesque. He was terrified when he found out that his nose is walking freely on the streets but he was the most worried about what the other people will think about his loss.
- With this irony, Gogol's purpose was to show readers how nonsense is the social position or title. He showed that most people are taking themselves too seriously because they are thinking that they are important in society but actually they are like everyone else.
This story is surreal but it is shown in the most realistic and detailed way.
