Edna's Flight

In the book birds are mentioned many many times and towards the end the each appear more and more to have a deeper meaning. For instance the house that Edna moves into becomes the "pigeon house" or how in the beginning of the book the parrot mentioned. I like the idea that even though she is now her own person away from being trapped now she is following what she wants but she went from this night beautiful parrot to now a small dull pigeon. She is told with all the things she talks about, the people she visits all effect her to become the way she is now. The way she is makes her defiantly not a typical tradition of a woman in the book and flying very high. When Edna is asked where she is going to fly in her life, when she replies she says nothing extraordinary. Edna unknowing her character actually does some extraordinary things in her life as though she only thinks she is living her life, her breaking the tradition of everyone else in society she is so very different and not at all ordinary. Unfortunately her warning about the Bird flying wasn't enough Edna's wings soon became very weak and she like all at one point fall down to the earth and become batteries and bruised or maybe even drown.
