Answer to Question 1

• Because she lives on the fringes of life in her small French town, Miss Brill regards her solitary Sundays in the park as the highlight of her week. Here, watching the people who come and go and eavesdropping on their conversations, she feels a connection with her fellow human beings. The smallest details about them excite her interest. She comes to feel herself one of them, an actor in lifes drama. So caught up does she become in the sudden revelation that all the worlds a stage and that she, like everyone else, has a part to play, that she has a mystical experience. In her mind, she merges with the other players, and it seemed to Miss Brill that in another moment all of them, all the whole company, would begin singing (par. 10).

Answer to Question 2

• Those students who can appreciate Lawrences particular blend of reality and fantasy will like The Rocking-Horse Winner. A house that whispers is unusual, but even a hardheaded realist can probably accept it at least as a metaphor. That a boy can learn to predict the winner in a horse race by riding his rocking-horse is perhaps harder to believe.
