Miss Brill

The historical context of the theme is Miss. Brill and how old she is. She grew up in a different time period then the younger period that she watches. The cultural background is a town outside of in a park where Miss. Brill is listening to people's conversations, it is taking place in a modern time period. The cultural background is familiar to me it seems like a normal background with people having conversations and an old lady listening it does not seem to differnt. Some cultural views in the story are the two girls who are dressed in red to meet two soldiers who were dressed in blue which shows the regualr culture in America, with how sailors look and how the girls meet them. Two peasent ladies walk by with straw hats and the straw hats are significant because they are associated with peasent you do not here of to many rich people wearing them. This story is big on showing the difference between elderly people and younger people. Key words for finding signifcant culture and historical knowledge are, sat, swooping, laughing, pattered, young, and elderly. I want to see how the young people interact with the elderly people.
