The summer plays an important role as it represents the childlike, warmth and growth of Myop. Therefore when the story ends with "And the summer was over." it showcases Myop losing her innocence and that things are going to decay.

Myop explores the woods on her own like every other fairytale, where the child/leadperson has a romanticized view on the world. in every fairytale there is a climaks and everything changes because of a realization. Myop gets her eyes opened for the reality she is living in and not the childhood fantasy when she literally steps on the realization of the crazy world she lives in. her innocence gets smashed and "now summer is over" Her childhood "filter" is gone and now she sees the real world.

She is strolling through the forest picking flowers until she stumbles upon a dead body. The flowers are seen as a beautiful thing and she is picking them when her life is still peaceful and innocent. But when she discovers the body, her view on life changes and she decides to leave the flowers, leave her peaceful innocent life behind.

She discovers a wild pink rose which could symbolize purity and innocence, the rose is growing at a horrible scene, and all of a sudden the purity and innocence that the rose symbolized earlier is ruined by the horrific truth of reality.

Myop means (myopic) and this means that she has bad vision, not in reality, but she sees the world with a form of filter. She is quite innocent and young which means that she doesn't see the reality she lives in and all the bad things around her. She steeps into a dead mans corps and it's only then she sees the whole forrest as a form of graveyard. She starts to see the world as it is and that's why she is named what she is. Because she doesn't know any better and maybe for her own safety.

10.What can the girl see and understand now?

# data[].attributes.body
The flowers at the start: They are a symbol of her good life. She has everything she needs and wants.

The flowers at the end: She drops them, perhaps in surprise, or perhaps they now are like "flowers on a grave", a symbol of respect and sorrow. Thoughts of the terrible past. The horrible things that happend to her "kind".

She remembers that she is lucky, and that it has not always been easy to be black in America. She suddenly looks beyond the tip of her own nose. (She is young, she has not been forced to deal with the harsh world yet, she is growing up) When she drops the flowers she drops her youth and her innocence and ignorance.

It is like the girl has been living her life as a never ending summer. Everything has been great her entire life, there has only been calm, safeness and happiness in her little life. Therefore the first part of the story is described quite idyllic and peaceful. She has never really experienced any cruelty, and therefore it is very unusual for her to experience the strangeness of the land. She seems surprised when discovering the man, but more interested than afraid. She doesn't get the seriousness  of the situation or what has happened. In the text it says that she just keeps picking flowers, even after the steps into his skull, it is only when she discovers the rope, that has been used to hanging the man, that she realises the reality of the situation and becomes conscious about the racism going on. Now it suddenly doesn't feel like summer anymore.

It can be a shortened form of the words myopic or myopathy, in which both are from Latin myopia meaning "near-sightedness."

Myop sees only the things she is currently thinking about, such as the chickens and pigs. Later the flowers and snakes she is looking for. Eventually she sees the man.
