pickOn page 195, Rose Mary painted an image of a lady drowning in a stormy lake. This would be considered a symbol of her true feelings. It shows how she feels inside with all the pressure she feels from her family to get a job. It also means that she has too much on her plate, mentally and physically.
Jeannette wrote this story in this way because it shows that her mother was doing what she thought was best. The mother does not show many emotions..

It was smart to use both symbol and pathos because it makes the reader feel more connected to the book.
