THE GARDEN PARTY - RETELLING

There's a wealthy family, known as the Sheridan, that

prepared to host a party in their garden. Laura
Sheridan was told to instruct the workers on where
they should place the marquee. Although she tried to
be snobish, she realizes the workingmen are admirable
and she felt a connection with them. On the other
hand, her mother, Mrs. Sheridan, ordered masses of
lillies. And her sister, Jose, tested the piano and
rehearsed a song in case she was asked to sing later.
After everything was set, the family was told that one
of their working-class neighbors, Mr. Scott, had died.
While Laura thought the party should be called off,
both her mother and sister disagreed. Laura decided
to forget the topic until the party is over. When the
party was over, Mrs. Sheridan told Laura to bring a
basket full of leftovers to the Scott's house as a
condolence. Laura felt really uncomfortable on her way
to the Scott's home as she was being exposed to the
entire neighborhood. She was led inside the house by
Em's sister and met the widow. She gave her the basket
and saw the corpse. At that moment, she found out that
death was as beautiful as life, she could see the
happiness in those closed eyes and the comfort Mr.
Scott was experiencing. Already outside the house, she
ran into her brother, Laurie. She couldn't really
explain what she had felt about death and life
clearly, but his brother said he understood. Clearly,
he didn't as Laura was way smarter than her family,
because she ws the only one to see from another point
of view the separation of classes.
