Chapters 52 - 55
• The last book in the novel is Francie's process of "saying goodbye." By this point in the novel, Francie has gained a good deal of self-knowledge and self-consciousness. She knows she will not come back to her neighborhood, and that she is visiting her old setting for the last time. In Chapter 55, she has a thought that perhaps all of her experiences are not dreams, but that she is the dreamer. This consciousness shows that Francie is more aware of herself in her world.

I think that Francie has come to realize that people's perceptions of the world are more powerful than the world itself because by the end of the novel her life is a lot better and she is relieved of the money problems her family faced throughout her life. i think that Francie feels she has conquered the world at this point because her family worked so hard throughout the years just to get by and in the end they have everything they'd wished for.
ReplyDeleteFrancie does not want to revist her past because of all of the hardships she faced throughout her life.
I think Francie has grown a lot in her last novel and the way we can see that is in the way of her realizing that peoples viewings of the world stronger then anything else. Her life has changed a lot since the beginning and the problems her family faced have become more manageable. They are not stuck in poverty as they were described as in the beginning and she feels like she did take over the sadness and the loneliness she was feeling before and that all the hard work of her family paid off in the end and got what they wanted. No one would ever want to re-visit the past because they feel like they went through a lot of hard times, but she may sometimes think back and see that they did make it.
