Amla, Adrian Dave N.10:30-11:30MWFBALS 1ENGLISH 2NAME ALL THE ANIMALS
Resolution for Alison comes upon the third anniversary of Roys death. By this point she is sick to obey the rules governing the familys inter-relationships. The title of the book derives in part from a blessing which Alisons father gave to her. And Roy each morning asking God to protect their hearts, minds, and voices. He named these parts like Adam naming the first animals. Now, this blessing crystallizes Alisons desire to end the fundamental dishonesty of her familys communication.
Alisons mothers peculiar, ability to suspect and deny, simultaneously, the reality of her daughters sexuality leads her to arrange dates with young men in whom Alison has absolutely no interest.At one point
Name all the animals is a haunting and harrowing depiction of grief and mourning, of a group of individual struggling to pick up the pieces in the wake of a tragedy. It would make a compelling film, if anyone felt so inclined.
Even before Roy died, my mother was a mystery. Inside her, there lurked a fugitive sadness. Every night in the yard, letting my hand fall, hugging her arms to her chest and wondering away from me in the cool lawn. I thought there was a reason of dropping my hand and figuring out what that was, then losing her would be a great deal.
What did you do to her just to pay her wrong doings!Sending her to her room to think for several days will effectively break her frozen grief.For all the sadness and pain in Name All The Animals there is no bitterness or recrimination in Smiths writing. She understands her mother as someone who had to reshape reality to cope with the hard life she had growing up, Smith is fully aware of the damage in her mothers troubled heart which strained relations so much throughout their life together.
At this stage, Alison has this saying. To believe in God has no value to me at all.
I want to stop hiding and biting my tongue. I wanted to tell them everything. I thought, we will tell each other our secrets. Someday we will return to the beginning to the Garden of Eden, where Adam first named every living thing. I wanted us to say it all, to name every through, every word, every animal, we had dreamed up in those long years.
Mom, John has asked me to stay out in his van all night at a concertIt sounds very nice. Why dont you go?
