Strangeworth as being possessive of her town and her roses. For example, the narrator stated, “She knew everyone in the town of course; she was fond of telling strangers-tourists who sometimes passed through the town to admire Ms. Strangeworth’s roses-that she had never spent a day outside of this town in all of her long life.” Ms. Strangeworth has lived for seventy-one years in her town, no wonder she believed the town belonged to her. She has lived there her entire life. Also, “She was seventy-one, Ms Strangeworth told the tourists, with a pretty little dimple showing by her lip, and she sometimes found herself thinking the town would not exist if it wasn’t for her grandfather and the lumber mill.” She loved the town, and she also took great pride in what the city the city has
