Fruit as a Symbol
I want you to pick all the fruit this year and see
nothing is wasted. There's always someone who
can use it. Don't let good things rot for want of
using. You waste life when you waste good food.
Don't let things get lost. It's bitter to lose things.
Now, don't let me get to thinking, not when I'm
tired and taking a little nap before supper....

Weatherall"
How might the fruit be a symbol describing Granny's response to her jilting? Has
she followed her own advice?
