Miss Brill

Emily Green-
What changes Miss Brill's mood or emotions in the end of the story?
        Until this point, everyone in the park tended to their own business. Now, the action is being directed towards her. The older couple didn't seem to have a problem with Miss Brill. They kept to themselves. When the younger couple arrived, they kept to themselves but spoke badly about Miss Brill.

Olivia Wolff -
Does the fur symbolize anything?
        In the park, Miss Brill made the scene around her better than reality. She does the same thing to the fur in the beginning of the story when she "rubbed the life back into the dim little eyes." In the end, Miss Brill no longer wants to deal with the fur because she is put down and unable to make it better than reality.

Sarah Williamson-
Why didn't Miss Brill want to get a honey cake that day?
       Miss Brill sometimes got an almond in her cake and sometimes didn't. She liked the almonds, so it made her day bad if she didn't get an almond. Because her day was already bad enough, she didn't want to risk making her day even worse by not getting an almond.

Language and Style-
The speaker throughout Miss Brill is very vague yet observent. The lack of dialogue throughout the story enhances the writer's third person limited point of view. As opposed to hearing what all characters might have to say, the speaker only observes other people's actions.
