Essay Number Two


          Most of the topics for essay number two seem pretty easy. The one topic about symbols is easy because there are so many symbols found in the story “The Glass Menagerie.” One major symbol is the unicorn. It symbolizes Laura. The unicorn didn’t fit in with the horses, just like how Laura didn’t fit in with people. When the horn broke off of the unicorn, it showed that Laura had experienced being normal, even if it was just for a few moments. Another easy topic is comparing a character from this story with a character from another story. An example is comparing Laura to the woman from “The Yellow Wallpaper.” Laura was trapped inside her idea of how she was crippled and extremely shy. The woman was trapped inside her room because of how others saw her and her mental stability. One topic that seems a little difficult to write on is about escape. All of the characters escape reality, but to write one whole paper on one character’s escape from reality maybe a little hard. Tom’s escape is going to the movies, Laura’s escape is her glass collection and records, Amanda’s escape is her memories of Blue Mountains.
