I stand here Ironing response! Diana Lopez
Well I see that Emily was a very depressed child that was going thru a tough situation! Even though I am confused! At the beginning of the reading they used the iron as a symbol of something that's going to hurt someone! Is the iron a significant factor to Emily's condition? There is was one more thing I'm curious about! At the beginning of the story I wonder who is the mother talking to? Is it to a psychologist? Or is it to the social worker? Or who can it be???

It seems that the story had quite the effect on you. When you say that the iron in the beginning of the story was used as a symbol "that's going to hurt someone!", which passage are you referring to? What is the mother doing with the iron? Is she planning to hurt someone with it? There are clues throughout the story as to who the person is that the mother/narrator is addressing. Why don't you review the story once again and see if you can answer this questions. You are, by the way, on the right track.
