The Flowers
Innocence is a word used to describe the purity or cleanliness of something. ‘The Flowers’, by Alice Walker focuses on the idea of a young girl who loses her innocence on a sharecropper farm in southern United States. This allows us to understand when the author states ‘and the summer was over’, she implies that this was the end of Myops innocence and begins to‘open her eyes to the real world’. In an energetic and curios mood ten year old Myop sets afoot a journey into a place she has never ventured. Jubilantly gathering flowers along a stream skipping and singing for all to hear ,she is happy she only knows of her world which may be described as myopia which means to see narrowly or closely(this may be where her name is derived
