I read Flower Garden by Shirley Jackson. This story is about a woman named Mrs. MacLane. She came to a new town and meat young Winning and they became friends. One day Mrs. MacLane decided to employ Billy Jones, a young boy who is half-Caucasian and half-African American to take care of her garden but after while Jones’s dad came take care of Mrs. MacLane’s garden. Everyone started to hate Mrs. MacLane just because she emploed an African American.
I picked Person against Society for my significant elements to discuss. Person against Society happens when the protagonist is in conflict with the values of his or her society. I think Person against Society is related to this story because in the beginning of the story, young Winning tried to defence Mrs. MacLane but in end of the story everyone in the town including young Winning thinks that she made everyone.
