This was an enjoyable read. Remember, I'm just giving you my interpretation. I hope you find it useful. I'm not giving you the summary because I will explain the plot.

Characters: Ma Parker, "Literary Gentleman", Lennie the grandson

Plot: Ma Parker is a cleaning lady for the "literary gentleman". He asks her about her grandson, but she says she had since buried him the day before. The gentleman could not find the proper words to say to console her.

She sets about to work and tries to take off her boots. But she feels pain and with that, she remembers her grandson asking her for a penny. She pretends to be firm with him, but fishes around for a penny anyway. She playfully asks for something in return, but he says "I ain't got nothing"

She is brought back to the present and sets out to work. The perspective changes to the "literary gentleman" who says that it is difficult to "write" about the dirty kitchen. He recalls doing the housekeeping himself (he did a bad job) and brags by saying that house keeping is simple and he doesn't understand why people complain. He also refers to Ma Parker as "a hag" or ugly old woman who cleans up everything he chooses to dirty.

The house was a mess. But Ma Parker took pity on the man for living along and continues cleaning without complaining. She thinks about the hard life she had and the neighbours who felt sorry for her. Then she remembers her difficult past. She remembers moving to London where she marries a baker.

The literary gentleman had conversations with her about her husband. He is described to be unaware of "Life" and makes silly comments. Ma Parker reveals that she had 13 children and buried 7 of them. Her husband then suffers from tubercolosis. Later, she falls and hurt her spine. Even later, she has another baby. Some of her children became rebellious and got into bad company. Most left her. One of her sons who died gave her Lennie, her grandson.

She concentrates on cleaning the house and thinks about Lennie. She feels sad and suddenly wishes to cry but could not find the time or the place to do so.

Theme:
1) Criticism of literary students. The "literary gentleman" does not show pity and he cannot understand the suffering Ma Parker goes through. He says silly things that may hurt her like when he says "I hope the funeral was a-- a-- success". Also, the talk about him wanting to "write" to describe the mess in his house is not practicle. He is completely out of touch with reality, which is a huge criticism with regards to the writers of the time who seem to be unaware of the "real world" and are interested only in their ability to "write".

2) Human beings suffer alone. Ma Parker lives a hard life and while her neighbours pity her, her suffering is alone "Nobody knew-- nobdy cared". This is typical of the age. In 1920s, the War and the obsession with money (commercialization) makes people more and more lonely. Ma Parker is a victim of such situations. She cannot even find the time to cry because she has to works all the time.

3) Real world vs Fantasy world. Once again, the idea of what is real and fantasy is seen when comparing the "literary gentleman" and Ma Parker. It is important that the gentleman has no name, as if he is not human. Yet, he is a man of "Literature", or Humanities, so it is ironic that he cannot understand the "real world" of human beings like Ma Parker and lives in his Fantasy world of his literary works.

4) Meaningless of life. Ma Parker works all the time but she does not even have time to give in to her feelings and cry. Her work becomes meaningless because her grandson has died. In fact, she "has nothing" and there was no where to turn to even to cry.

5) Modern world makes people less human, and people like Ma Parker suffers terribly, and alone.

Style:
1) Use of memory.
2) Changes in time frames. (stream-of-consciousness)
Note: Both are typical of a Modernist type fiction.

End

ooh longboy dude, why does he hav to pay you? lol.
but for foreigner, I used to have that kind of problems but if I were you, think as if you were born with english, no other language. you dont need to translate all of them but at least do use your common sense to link it from what are you reading. that would help for me, although it's tough at first, but it will benefit you a lot to think that way. (: hope this will help you.
