Symbolism questionnaires

3. Do any people act as symbols in the story? What do they represent?

A: Godfrey represents the good guy who sacrifices his happiness for his lover. And Allan is a bad guy who isn’t that evil. It’s just like another guy that took the heroine away. This story doesn’t really have any people act as symbols.

4. Do aspects of the story’s setting seem symbolic? In what way?

A: First would be London. London represents money and success. When Lalla went to London to work and engage, she also got into fame, success, and money which get her lost. She didn’t go to what she really wanted. Cornwall represents home, family, and true love. Lalla came back to Cornwall because she knew that at London, there are the things that she doesn’t really want. But then in Cornwall, she knew that there is something she really wanted such as family and Godfrey, her true love.

5. Is one symbol used throughout the story or do the symbols change?

A: The symbol of the places doesn’t change. London is still the place where Lalla doesn’t really feel good and happy there. At the start of the story, Cornwall is the place where she is comfortable with and is the place where she feels happy and enjoys most. At the end of the story, Cornwall still symbolize as the place where Lalla is happy and find what she wants the most. 

Imagery questionnaires

1. What scenes, moments, descriptive passages, phrases, or words stand out in your reading of the story?

A: I think the scene that stands out the most is when the Royston Boys are friend with Barney and Jane. Also, the scene when Godfrey saw that Lalla went to dance with Allan and left the Ball room together, that was the part where I find it most standout. There are no passages that could describe this. It is just so shocking and exciting of what is going to happen next.

The passages that stand out are “How does it feel to have a famous daughter? People asked Mother, but she never quite accepted Lallas success”. The passage is trying to say like, her mother and the rest of the family know that it is a huge success but it’s not what Lalla wanted. It’s not what she loved. The things that she loved can be found at home.

2. Did a particular image make you feel happy, or frightened, or disturbed, or angry? Why?

A: The part that makes me most frighten is when Godfrey saw Lalla and Allan went out of the Ball room together. I was shock and scared of what Godfrey is going to do. I pity Godfrey and prayed that Lalla would come back. Another part of the story that is very intense is when Lalla chose to go back to London and work and get engaged with Allan. I just don’t know how Godfrey could tolerate that. He would be so sad. I just keep wishing Lalla would come back on the next scene.

3. Which of your five senses did this image appeal to? What do you associate with this image, and why? What do you think the author wants you to feel about a certain image?

A: I think about the Ball Party where there are so many high class people joined. I can really feel the atmosphere there and how the music is playing. The music would be some kind of soft music which everyone can enjoy peacefully. I can feel and taste the champagne and the cocktail food style at the Ball. I can also feel how nervous Jane feels when she was there alone and doesn’t know anyone. The only thing she could do is walk around. I feel the sleepiness and tiredness of hers.

4.How do you think your reactions to the imagery in the story contribute to the overall meaning of the story?

A: The overall meaning of the story is that, the best thing can be found at home. You no need to go far to search for love or happiness. Those things can be found at home. It tells me that people can choose the wrong path just because of fame and money. It’s not the thing they love but then they think that it is. Just like Lalla. When she was in London, she thought that all of those make her happy, but then it is not. Also how the sisters love each other. They love each other so much and want the best of each other.
