  1. A painful situation for a mother and son, who had known better times. They have not adjusted to the new way of life in a poorer neighborhood.

    Jimmy found solace in the Animal Orphanage on Sundays to drown out the woes of "Real Life". His mum drownded hers in the use of liquor instead, at the thought of doing her own chores and using her beauty and body to get by.

    The Professor stated that trouble began when Sebastian, the gorilla got ill. At Sebastian's death,it seemed as though, the Professor "took over" or possessed the gorilla's body. By being the "gorilla", does he hope to change the situation in the country? I would definitely love to read more of this story.

  2. In a crisis situation, individuals become bonded as in a marriage, and team up to face life in that new role.

    In the case of the siblings, they have been technically "married" to the situation in the reverse role that they have to play.

  3. On Opportunity Knocks

    It is interesting to know that someone is taking a step in helping women to promote their work.

  4. Mothers protect their children closely from all that is "outdoors," whether it is from climatical conditions or any harm in general.

  5. A good review of history.
