'A Great Day ', Frank Sargeson. Q2. Are there class distinction between them.
The main characters Fred and Ken are different class. Fred is a working class. He lives in a small cabin for which he must pay rent. Fred is uneducated. However, Ken is better educated than Fred and financial situation is better then Fred.
2. What do their reactions to the accident ‘down the lane’ reveal about the different characters of Laura, Jose, Mother, Father and Laurie?
I think the reactions of all people in the garden except for Laura were so indifferent about the accident. Even though Scott, who has five children and wife, was dead because of falling off his horse, Laura’s relatives and family did not care about that. That is difference between Laura and them. On the other hands, Laura said “ I think we should stop this party!! It’s not proper today!” That is, Laura was so upset about their attitude.
3. Can you find a possible example in ‘The Garden Party’?
Yes, I found some examples in the story such as “Roses”, “Green trees”, “karaka trees” and “lilies” and Roses and lilies made the party more beautiful, and were illustrated like positive things. Additionally, I thought The karaka trees looked like Laura’s condition because Laura felt different emotion against her family about the accident. As the tree stood up alone, the tree was illustrated like a lonely thing. That is my thought.
