ENGL 110 Lecture 3: My Garden (Book) Lecture + Discussion Notes
Document Summary
The attachment the speaker has to her garden may suggest that the gifts she received on mothers say was the birth of her garden. Perhaps she enjoys the practical gifts more than ornamental ones: we think this because she lost her earrings on the first day, but went out to try her new gardening tools right away. She tracks the growth of her garden, rather than tracking the growth and maturation of her children. She never referred to her homes as hers , but to who they belonged to before her. Maybe it was a giant f@&% you to her husband, who basically told her to go make a garden for me to enjoy with his gardening tools as a mothers day gift. Kincaid, adam and eve experienced: gardeners never tire with their obsession (their gardens) but visitors might -> in f. relation to eve + adam being bored with the garden, but god wasn"t bored.
