But fifteen years ago, on Monday morning the quiet, dusty, shady streets would be full of Negro women with, balanced on their steady, turbaned heads, bundles of clothes tied up in sheets, almost as large as cotton bales, carried so without touch of hand (...)" (p.1, ll. 12-19)

The streets are paved now, and the telephone and electric companies are cutting down more and more of the shade trees - the water oaks, the maples and locusts and elms - to make room for iron poles bearing clusters of bloated and ghostly and bloodless grapes, and we have a city laundry which makes the rounds on Monday morning, gathering the bundless of clothing into bright-colored, specially-made motor cars [...] and even Negro women who still take in white people's washing after the old custom, fetch and deliver it in automobiles." (p.76, ll. 1-14)

--> The times have changed according to technology, and the world is constantly changing. But in Jefferson the society norms are still the same old. The negro women still collect the laundry, but now it is done in modern automobiles.

"Unless we have a lo of fun." She and Nancy came back to the fire, the lamp. "I want to go home," Jason said. She stood close to the lamp. She looked at Caddy, like when your eyes look up at a stick balanced on your nose. She had to look down to see Caddy, but her eyes looked like that, like when you are balancing a stick. "I wont listin to it, " Jason said. "I'll bang on the floor.". "It's a good one," Nancy said. "It's better than the other one." (Page 92, ll. 1-11)

--> Something mysterious is going on. Why does Nancy want to keep the children at her house? What is going to happen? (Foreshadowing)]]> 2016-12-01 08:24:51 UTC https://padlet.com/wieckerrolf/x1b8660lla2z/wish/141030921
