SECRETS

Aunt Mary:

In the story “Secrets” one of the main characters is an old lady called Mary. She had white hair and waved, and always well washed, she had a ring on her third finger of her right hand. On her neck she had an old chain.
The woman was very kind to her nephew, she always told stories to him.As she was old, she used old words. She always wanted to change the subject when the boy asked about her past.

Once, her nephew found letters from her youth and when he started reading them, he realised that Mary had had# a “boyfriend” and that he  had been on a war. Then when Brother Benignus# went back home he decided he wanted to be Brother Benignus. We think that she had been very sad and until the moment she died, she couldn’t overcome until the day she died.

When Mary noticed that the boy had read the letters, she was very aggressive with him because she told him he was dirt and he was always going to be# dirt till he dies.

Aunt Mary could be very kind one time and another very aggressive and bad, in our opinion she was kind of bipolar, for example when she found her nephiew reading the letters she changed the attitude from one moment to another.

The quote that best represents Mary is “Your aunt kept herself very much to herself...” We choose this quote because she had many secrets and didn’t tell anyone about her love life.

If Mary was an animal, she would be a dog, because they hide their bones so that no one can find them as Mary did with the letters. And also because dogs are faithful as Mary was with Brother Benignus.
