’’A Simple Exchange of Niceties’’ by Joanne Fedler Essay

A Simple Exchange of Niceties, a short report by Joanne Fedler, 2007. In the text A Simple Exchange of Niceties the fibber lives in what could be a big town. In this town thither is a park which she often visits, in this park there is a certain bench that she likes better than the others, and she calls it her own bench. The theme is teenage problems and some teenagers developing into the adulthood. The narrators language is genuinely normal and is what either other American citizen could be speaking. The language contains a few bedamn words and slang words too. Example precondition She seemed so bally(a) keen on kids (Page 11 line 133). The narrator does not view much self confidence she had a one night carrell with a Damien from the bar, which resulted in her getting pregnant. Damien t old(a) her that he never wanted to turn out kids with a trashy whore like her after he had fertilized her, which make her feel like a trashy whore too. She has lost the munificence of he r mother too the narrator is a very troubled psyche who is shop-lifting and has been impregnated at a very young age this shows that she is not very sure of herself, and has not great(p) up yet.Her mother does not horizontal want to bail her out from the prison after she had been caught shop-lifting. The narrator is a bit arrogant against people she does not know. Example given when the old wench has issues untwisting her bag, and the narrator just ignores it which shows that she does not like to communicate with strangers, which she excessively mentions When Im sitting on my bench, Im by and large not in the mood for small-talk and chit-chat. (Page 9, line 43). She complains about when she is sitting on her bench and people come and sit down without asking if she is hunky-dory with it this is a very two-faced action, would she herself even exchange niceties if she was the one approach a stranger on a bench? Her arrogance is to a fault shown when a peeress with a book and a bottle of water comes along the lady says that she should not smoke.Her attitude is very typical for the ordination of youth, and the fact that she smokes while having a growing fetus in her patronise and not even caring about it truly enlightens that she has not big up yet. From her oasis which is the bench, the narrator seems to be developing from being a late teenager who is acting very cool and not genuinely caring about other than herself, to realizing the qualities of life, and understanding other people. As she speaks with the lady with the book When Fertility Fails, she seems to develop a kind of sympathy for the lady as she speaks of her and her husbands problem. The fact that the lady cannot be fertilized by her husband makes the narrator act different than she is used to.Example given when the lady says that she would sells everything that she possesses if she could be a mother, and the narrator replies by It wasnt meant to be, I found myself saying, which really wasnt me speaking. (Page 10 line 115-116) and she refers to as if it was her gran speaking. As this is not how she normally would react, it is an obvious sign that she is developing into a young woman, particularly when she decides to give away her coming baby to the hard put lady. When the narrator tells her mother that she is pregnant, the mother seems to state that she in reality cares for her dont you DARE give my granddaughter away, (Page 12 156) which made the narrator believe that she is actually worth something. And when the narrator gives birth to the baby and the mother tells her that she remembers when she was an infant fictionalization on her chest. This truly shows that the mother is happy and has realized that her daughter has grown into a young woman.
