Monologue Of Ebony Myer
"Are you sure, sweetheart? Going away on your own, sounds mighty dangerous," Sylvia Myer's gentle, quiet timbre that was evidently peppered with fear at the thought of her youngest child and only daughter venturing into the woods, alone still resonated in Ebony Myer's head as she rolled her luggage through her new home, at least for the next two weeks. Another vivid memory from the morning, she departed was a hefty yet loving back slap from George Myer Sr. before vigorously reassuring his bride, their child would be perfectly fine; she would never admit it aloud but his words had been a comfort. Roughing it in the forest didn't scare her, growing up with four ill-mannered and boisterous brothers, she was used to getting dirty. It was the solitary …show more content…
With only a plush, ivory towel placed underneath her juicy backside, she let the fire little by little evaporate all the small droplets still clinging to her brown flesh. Meanwhile, she pondered the changes that had already happened, in only a few and short hours; time seemed slower and she could enjoy herself for much longer than if she was home. Sighing in content, she carefully ran her fingers through the thick, shoulder length and coily hair that was always tied back in a ponytail for work. Along with the tender fragrance of a Jasmine and Lavender incense, Ebony's worries, the anxieties of a normal trauma nurse, were slowly but surely dissipating; her eyes growing increasingly heavy with each inhale as she settled herself deeper into the tattered yet bizarrely comfortable loveseat, gently fluttered closed...

A sudden, high pitch shriek jolted the sleeping vacationer into the air. "Shit, I must have fallen asleep," Ebony muttered, slender fingers clutching at her bare chest. For a moment, she just sat there and attempted to calm her nerves. She contemplated putting on clothes, even a thin, cotton tee shirt seemed to constricting and also, no peeping tom's were around for miles. She figured an animal or a falling leaf tripped her sensitive, car

    Rubbing her eyes, she leaps out of her blankets and almost hits her head on her mahogany dresser. Damn, she thinks to herself. She pulls her window curtains apart, and casts a furtive glance out the window. It’s a typical day in Harpswell, Maine: the birds are chirping, the water is still, and the ever pungent smell of mud lingers. Eva steps downstairs, pausing to press her finger against a portrait of her deceased grandfather.…

    Peter slammed his office door and ruptured another splinter on its face like the thousands that plagued it. His shaky hands fixed three locks across the door that jarred into their familiar cradles. He dragged his chair through the cracked grooves in the floorboards and collapsed into it with a sigh. The paperwork on his desk was minimal. It was the nightmare garden he tended to every night once the children were dreaming, and his wife curled against her own skin, embraced by icy cotton sheets. Better.…

    Inside the cottage, Maggie sat at the table. The cigarette still hung loosely from her fingers. Her skin had browned and grown tight around her bones as it dried with age. Her head had shrunk considerably, the empty sockets of her eyes receding deep within. Maggie’s stomach, where the Coroner had crudely sewn her back together, had pulled apart at the stiches leaving gaping diagonal crevices. The wedding dress they buried her in was wrinkled. Her hair, while wiry, laid neatly groomed. Sam, having taken her brush from the bathroom, had done it before…

    The story “The Golden Kite, the Silver Wind”, can be seen as an allegory about the Cold War. The opposing towns, the walls, and the Mandarins in the story all serve as symbols to the war. The towns represent the two opposing states in the Cold War--the United States and Soviet Union. The two rival towns in the story symbolize the United States and the Soviet Union because they continuously upgrade their walls’ structures to stay on top of their opponent, similarly to how the USA and USSR added copious amounts of improving nuclear weapons to their stockpiles. They never combated, but tried to surpass each other by increasing weaponry. The Mandarin of one of the towns, commands, “[Y]ou raisers of walls must go bearing trowels and rocks and change the shape of our city” (Bradbury 367)! The Mandarin, like the USA or USSR, competes with the city of Kwan-Si by ordering the workers to build a wall that resembles “a club which may beat the pig [wall] and drive it off” (Bradbury 367). The stonemasons and architects in the story symbolize the chemical plants that were used to manufacture nuclear weapons in the Cold War, and the walls that the workers construct represent the nuclear weapons. The Mandarins’ constant needs and commands to improve the structures of the walls can be compared to Joseph Stalin’s and President Truman’s orders to amass the weapons. Despite the lack of combative violence in the Cold War, it led to economic issues and deaths of people due to local civil wars fueled by the war. In the story, consequences arose after the town of Kwan-Si reconstructed their wall to outdo the other town’s wall, such as “disease, early sorrow, avalanches, grasshopper plagues, and poisoned well water” (Bradbury 368). The Mandarins’ dispute caused more problems than they expected, comparable to Stalin’s and Truman’s role in the Cold War. Moreover, the reconciliation of the two mandarins toward the end of the story signify Bradbury’s perspective on the Cold War. Bradbury…
