8)

In paragraph one: the only basic personal detail is her sex; we also learn how she feels; and we immediately associate her with sitting by a window, with dusty cretonne curtains.

The omissions mean we focus on just a few details, that acquire further significance and resonance as a result.

9)

I imagine that Eveline is the lady portrayed in the first page of the book, pretty tall, thin, dark-haired, brown- eyed, and very pale. From the psychological point of view I think that she is not an independent girl with a low level of self-esteem, she unfortunately is subject to her father.

13)

I think that the direct speech version is more immediate. I think that Joyce used the indirect speech to remain himself and have the reader remain detached from the character, namely avoiding a deep and specific identification with Eveline.

14)

But in my new home, in a distant unknown country, it would not be like that. Then I would be married--me, Eveline. People would treat me with respect then. I would not be treated as my mother had been. Even now, though I was over nineteen, I sometimes felt myself in danger of my father's violence. I knew it was that that had given me the palpitations. When we were growing up he had never gone for me like he used to go for Harry and Ernest, because I was a girl but latterly he had begun to threaten me and say what he would do to me only for my dead mother's sake. And now I had nobody to protect me. Ernest was dead and Harry, who was in the church decorating business, was nearly always down somewhere in the country. Besides, the invariable squabble for money on Saturday nights had begun to weary my unspeakably. I always gave my entire wages--seven shillings--and Harry always sent up what he could but the trouble was to get any money from my father. He said I used to squander the money, that I had no head, that he wasn't going to give me his hard-earned money to throw about the streets, and much more, for he was usually fairly bad on Saturday night. In the end he would give me the money and ask me had I any intention of buying Sunday's dinner. Then I had to rush out as quickly as I could and do my marketing, holding my black leather purse tightly in my hand as I elbowed my way through the crowds and returning home late under my load of provisions. I had hard work to keep the house together and to see that the two young children who had been left to my charge went to school regularly and got their meals regularly. It was hard work--a hard life--but now that I was about to leave it I did not find it a wholly undesirable life. I was about to explore another life with Frank. Frank was very kind, manly, open-hearted. I was to go away with him by the night-boat to be his wife and to live with him in Buenos Ayres where he had a home waiting for me. How well I remembered the first time I had seen him; he was lodging in a house on the main road where I used to visit. It seemed a few weeks ago. He was standing at the gate, his peaked cap pushed back on his head and his hair tumbled forward over a face of bronze. Then we had come to know each other.

17)

From what I read I think Eveline's mother were not respected because Eveline said that she would be married  and people would treat  her with respect and she would not be treated as her mother had been and her mother  tried to keep united the family before to die. She asks Eveline  to  maintain her promise : "to keep the home togheter  as long as she could".

18)

He seems to be in love with Eveline and he asks her to live with him in Buenos Ayres. The narrator focus the attention on  the personality and education of  Frank:" he is kind, mainly, open hearted, he is awfully fond of music and sings a little."

Frank is told by the memoirs of Eveline, she remember the first time she have seen him and when he told her about the name of the ship because he worked as deck boy at a pound a month on a ship

of the Allan Line. Then Frank is the way of escape for Eveline. she wants escape!.

Yes.

21)

We have seen in exercise 19 that her thoughts about her past family life as a child are expressed very simply and naturally. Her romantic thoughts about Frank are expressed equally simply, but the narrator does mimic the expressions of romantic literature (see your answer to exercise 20); and so, without mocking it directly, may be leaving it open to the

reader to criticize it, or may even be inviting the reader to criticize it.

22)

The sailor in the song is most pleased not by the toast to his sweetheart or wife at home but the lass - in every port - who loves a sailor; and this is so even though he loves his sweetheart or wife "as his life."

23)

Eveline was with Frank at the station at the North wall, the station was full of soldiers. Her face was pale and cold and she prayed to god to direct her , to show her what was her duty.

Frank seized her hand and he said: " come " but she gripped with both hands at the iron railing and said: "it is impossible".she  set her white face to him, passive . her eyes gave him no sign of love or farewell or recognition.
