Stanton's memory of her brother's funeral is still fresh
in her mind.
I still recall
, too, going into the large darkened parlor to
see my brother, and finding the casket, mirrors, and
pictures all draped in white, and my father seated by his
side, pale and immovable. As he took no notice of me,
after standing a long while, I climbed upon his knee,
when he mechanically put his arm about me and, with
my head resting against his beating heart, we both sat in
silence, he thinking of the wreck of all his hopes in the
loss of a dear son, and I wondering what could be said or
done to fill the void in his breast.
O Stanton develops a need to please her father during
childhood.
Stanton decides she must work to discover the
cause of her brother's death.
Stanton's relationship with her father is stronger than
that of her sisters.

here's some tricks. write on a book that you have read and really enjoyed. first, start by writing down basic event in the book. have your first paragraph be an intro explaining like the author, the reason the book was written if known, and other backround info like that. paragraph two explain what happens in the first few chapters and the signifigance it had. then for paragraph 3, do the same thing but for the middle. i'm pretty sure you get the point for paragraph 4. just rap things up and explain the call to action. for the final paragragh (paragraph 5) , explain your views on the book, the message, ect. tip: something that might is to go onto cliff notes or something and read the anaylisis of each chapter.

dubliners is a collection of fifteen short stories by james joyce, published in 1914. they tell the stories of the irish middle class in and around dublin in the early years of the 20th century.

joyce divides the collection into three sections dealing with childhood, adolescence and maturity. therefore, one pattern he uses to organize his stories is the age of the protagonists. the initial stories deal with children, and as the stories continue, they focus on progressively older people.
