Journal 13


1. What object symbolizes George Gray’s life?  How is this object representative of him?
A sailboat is representative of George Gray’s life because he did not live an active life.  He tells the reader to “lift the sail and cath the winds of destiny.”

2. How was Lucinda Matlock’s life different than George Gray’s?  How do you interepret the last line of the poem?

3. How are “George Gray” and “Lucinda Matlock” examples of realism?
