1. What object symbolizes George Gray’s life? How is this object representative of him?
A sail boat. It represents him because the sail boat hasn’t gone anywhere and hasn’t done anything. It just represents an average life. His life is very grey. He says to not be afraid and let life take you where it will. Take chances.
2. How was Lucinda Matlock’s life different than George Gray’s? How do you interepret the last line of the poem?
Lucinda Matlock lived her life rather than never doing anything. She celebrated life and did not spoil it. The last line shows she lived her life. George Gray regretted his whole life unlike Lucinda.
3. How are “George Gray” and “Lucinda Matlock” examples of realism?
These types of stories represent average types of stories, about regular people. Its not about someone special or important, its just everyday life.
