About this Quote

This quote by Beth Henley speaks with the solitude and isolation of the poor female in Laurel, Mississippi. It is a suggestion of the extreme truths of life for those who are not as fortunate. The lady is alone for Christmas, a season that is typically related to pleasure and togetherness. The reality that she operates at a cent shop indicates that she is having a hard time financially, and her loneliness is a reflection of her tough circumstances. The quote also speaks with the power of composing, as it was in a composing class that the lady's story was told. It is a tip that stories can be used to accentuate the battles of those who are less lucky, and to cause modification.
