Hello, please help me check my writings .. 2 stories, Granny Weatherall and Miss Brill... thanks in advance!

In a short story “The Jilting of Granny Weatherall” by Katherine Anne Porter, we are brought into the mind of Granny Weatherall on her deathbed. From a third person narrator, we can see her thoughts shift spontaneously through a stream of consciousness of her lifetime. Granny Weatherall values hard work. She can be feminine as well as masculine. She remembers “all the food she had cooked, and all the clothes she had cut and sewed, and all the gardens she had made… she had fenced in a hundred acres once, digging the post holes and clamping the wires…” Granny Weatheral is also a mother-figure and nurturer. She raised four children who seek her advice even in their adulthood. However, in her whole life, Granny Weatheral has been fighting against her past. She seems to deny that her jilting by George, who abandoned her at the altar sixty years ago, had not affected her life. Although she has a family and convinces herself the pain is behind her, she’s still keeping George’s letters. Now on her deathbed, the pain and the embarrassment of the incident still haunt her. Furthermore, Granny Weather thinks she is not ready to die yet. She has not seen the sign that there is a wonderful afterlife awaiting her. Because her death experience is not like how she envisioned it, she is jilted once again and died bitter and unfulfilled.

Miss Brill

In a short story “Miss Brill” by Katherine Mansfield, the author allows reader full access to Miss Brill’s thoughts. The author uses a stream of consciousness style for us to look into the mind of Miss Brill, who is about to enter her final stage of her life. As she sits in the park with a good mood, she is making judgments based on how others are wearing their clothes; these are seen by Miss Brill as status symbol. This shows that her personality is based on how people think of her. In addition, the author uses many symbols throughout the story. For example, Mansfield uses Autumn to describe Miss Brill. She is discoloured and withered like the leaves. Furthermore, the fur is also a symbol of Miss Brill herself. It is old and needed repair. When she anticipates the conversation of two young strangers, her mood is shattered by the couple’s ridicule her and her fur. She returns to her small apartment and places her fur back in the box. At the end of the story, she imagines she hears her fur crying “But when she put the lid on she thought she heard something crying”. However, it is herself whom she hears crying because she feels sympathy for herself.
