        <description><![CDATA[The relationship between Laura and Jose in The garden party is two sisters. Both Laura and Jose is daughter of Mr. Mrs. Sheridan. Jose is elder than Laura. Though they two are sister but different in character. Laura has very much sympathy for lower class people but on the contrary Jose always neglect them. Laura is simple in behavior and childlike but Jose fashionable and childish. Laura has a soft heart to love poor but Jose is...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Her reaction is quite understandable considering the profile of the character. Laura is very young, sensitive by nature, and has always lived in a protective world. The neighbour's accident at work is probably Laura's first real encounter and confrontation with tragedy. Quite naturally, she not only sympathizes but empathizes with the grieving family.  To let the garden party go on - oblivious to their pain - seems to be a demonstration of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The setting is an upper class home and its garden.  The story is set in the morning of a beautiful, warm summer day.  The story doesn't specifically state a time period, but by the language and discussion of customs, the reader can infer the time period is most likely somewhere in the mid 1700's to early 1900's.  It is definitely not a present day story.  There is an external conflict, as well as an internal one.  The external conflict is...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The third-person-limited point of view immediately establishes the irony because of the distance between information and subject matter.The narrator withholds information in favor of limiting what she says to what Laura thinks and experiences. She generally does not understand the import of what she undergoes that day, at least not until the very end, when she says &quot;isn't life, isn't life?&quot; only for her brother to interrupt her,...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Laura's interest in the workingmen is triggered by the workman pinching off a sprig of lavender and smelling its fragrance.  This simple gesture seemed to form a connection to her love of the beautiful.  But at the same time she recognized the workmen as &quot;real,&quot; beyond her experiences with the &quot;silly boys&quot; she knew.  To her, they were &quot;posers,&quot; interested in drawing attention to themselves,while the workman was...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[With workmen, Laura isn't quite sure of her position, or who to be. When she sees them, she thinks &quot;They looked impressive.&quot; She also &quot;wished now that she had not got the bread-and-butter, but there was nowhere to put it, and she couldn't possibly throw it away. She blushed and tried to look severe and even a little bit short-sighted as she came up to them.&quot; In other words, she has to pretend to be someone she thinks she's...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The &quot;evolution&quot; of Laura throughout the story is a most enigmatic one. Instead of a 'coming of age,' so to speak, through experience, Laura loses something of her original sensitivity to human need. She confronts for the first time the duplicity of life, in which one must respond to others' distress but at the same time keep personal joy. At first Laura cannot reconcile the idea of doing something for pleasure while at that very...]]></description>
