Lying on her deathbed , she contemplates that “She had spent so much time preparing for death there was no need for bringing it up again”(2). Even when approached with death she felt like she had to be in control of even the littlest thoughts. Her extreme propensity to control presents a psychological dependency; her urge to control may stem from the loss of her loved ones such as her husband John, her fiancé George, and her child Hapsy. The point of view changes occasionally switches to first person to emphasize the focus on Granny Weatherall’s desires and thoughts at specified time; for example in the middle of a description of George’s abandonment the author adds in, “No, I swear he never harmed me but in that.”(3). Because this information is directly from Granny’s perspective, it demonstrates her deepest thoughts: her need to convince herself that she is not hurt by the abandonment. She tries to suppress the unpleasant pain of the sudden abandonment in order to move on. Because she could not control the jilting by her fiancé, she instead tries to control her emotions not allowing herself to be hurt. To compensate for the unexpected…

She was a straight “A” student at Elon College and constantly had her nose in the books. She was a confident woman who knew what she wanted and wasn’t willing to settle. She had a healthy relationship with her family and a boyfriend whom she was madly in love with and planning to marry. In a word, her life was perfect.…
She gets dressed up for a car trip so that, on the off chance that they would be in a car wreck and that in that wreck she would be thrown from the car and laying on the pavement, she would be happy because the people passing would think that she is a lady. This represents us as humans because daily we choose to be way too self-conscience. Think about females and make-up. Make-up is a perfect example of us caring a great deal about what others think of us. She is also very selfish in her endeavors. Instead of caring about what is best for the family, she wants to go to Tennessee because she has friends there whom she would like to see. There are three phases of thought for the Grandmother. During the first phase, which is in the beginning, she is completely focused on herself in relation to how others think of her. The Second Phase occurs when she is speaking to The Misfit. In the story, The Misfit represents a quasi-final judgment. He does this by acting like a mirror. He lets whatever The Grandmother says bounce right off him. He never really agrees with her or disagrees, and in the end he is the one who kills her. His second to last line, "She would of been a good woman," The Misfit said, "if it had been somebody there…

*Authors note: Differences in detail between this retelling and a vocal retelling of the most lucid dream I've ever had exist solely as a result in the difference of medium. When telling a story with speech it is prudent to keep words flowing and to take little time for pause, leaving blank spots in the recollection. When writing however, one is allowed many chances to stop and gather their thoughts. While all of the content of this text document occurred in a dream within my own head making it therefore, by its very nature, subjective; I will attempt with the greatest of my abilities to avoid fabrication or invention of themes, topics, or occurrences, that did not happen during the time span of the dream. As many surely know, dreams can be difficult to recall in clarity, and if I fail to recall what happened I will simply note so.…
So I guess all she could do was go back to bed. She would lie in her "white suburban bedroom", white meaning colourless which in my opinion represents boredom, it also shows the way it is meant to appear to be pure, innocent and perfect. She would lie " 'neath the covers, dreaming of a thousands lovers". Under the covers she would feel stuffy, with no air to breath causing dizziness, this represents how she is feeling, she wants to break free, she needs air. Her dreaming of a thousands lover is her need for something new in her life, she is bored and wants excitement. She is so out of touch with what is going on around her that "she let the phone keep ringin' as she sat there softly singin' pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorised in her daddy's easy chair" this showed in some sense madness, just sitting there singing while the phone rings but also reminiscing about the good times in her life, when she felt more or less complete and as if her life was…
Doctor Mimi has been taking 5 mg of Dexedrine each evening. This drug obviously has an adverse affect, as can be seen by the incredibly realistic and lifelike dream which she has.

My mother was with me and introduced me to the woman, and then she left, stating some difficulty with my grandmother. And so I sat across from the wrinkled, alien figure right now. Her eyes were cloudy, and if I didn’t know better, I’d say she was blind. She was ruminating on her own sons and daughters, who I’m probably supposed to recognize. She began spouting a long, almost seemingly prepared diatribe about how they had all grown up and moved away, becoming lawyers, doctors, musicians. She may have been the most lonely figure I have ever seen. “An’ Sandy’s had two children, you can see ‘em on the wall there. I’ve never really had the chance to meet ‘em, but they seem lovely. I’m sorry for the mess, after Bill passed, I haven’t really cleaned up too much. Why would I? Ha. They say, they say that family is everything, that that’s what keeps you going. I think that’s nonsense. People drift away. They die, grow old, or just plain decide to not talk to you anymore. If you rely on family, you’ll end up like me.” Her cloudy eyes began to rain. “You’re young. You can still decide how you wanna live your life. Me, I’m done. I’ve seen the end, and it’s comin’ fast. And I’m terrified! You see these old people talk about how they’ve come to accept death or whatever. No, I’m not one of them. Every single second of every single day, every single piece of me is screaming that this isn’t true. That it’s not going to end this…
The first reason of her wish is that she misses her mother. She misses her so much with all what she used to do when she was alive. All her memories seem to revive within her mind. We all know that family sentiments are very delicate, especially sentiments between mother and daughter. Therefore, even years after her death, whenever she misses her mother, everything seems like just happen yesterday.…

Integrate quote "She fell asleep much more quickly than he did. Mid-dream, she laughed, paid compliments, made promises, or gave warnings. Need to cite correctly? "Listen, don't go to far. Come back soon. What a strong baby! I will make you a dress. I'll make you coffee." Then she sat up in her cot to scold herself—"Estina, you are waking the boy"—before drifting once again into the movie in her head" (86).
