The curtain is separating and blocking the sun from the side of the store. This can be viewed as symbolizing the blocking of their communication. The whole story, there is an obvious barrier between them and their communication. The two could have gone inside away from the flies and sun, however, they stay at the table. They do not enter the place, but allow the curtain to be a barrier between them and staying away from the flies, just like they allow themselves to have a block between their communication. The two are allowing themselves to continue this unhealthy way of not having any communication between them. The girl holds two strands of the bead curtain (51). She then continues to ask if she will be happy after they get rid of the child. The action of her holding the two strands can also be a symbol of the catholic faith. She seems to have a struggle with the idea of abortion. This is something that will go against her morality in the catholic faith, as the two strands represent the rosary
