w. She starts off by feeling sad for the death of her daughter and then moves to Florida only to have her lived as her own Warsaw as it was in the past. If it were told from my point of view, things would change because I would have had Rosa own up to her life and struggles she went through with Stella and the death of Magda. In my point of view, I would have Rosa accept the date from Persky and have her life change from being down and out to going out there into the world and having some fun. Magda would still be alive so she can see her daughter grow up and be someone and make her mom proud of her. Stella would be in New York on a temporary basis and then she moves to Florida to be with Magda and Rosa. I do not feel the narrator is reliable because there is a great deal of unfinished business left open. There is no life for Magda because she died too early and I feel that the reasons behind Rosa’s action in this novel were unrealistic. Think about Stella and how she stole the Shawl and then she moves to New York to go on with her life and she writes Rosa a letter to try a convince Rosa to change her life. Why didn’t Rosa accept Stella’s idea? The narrator appears to self-deluded to be trusted only because they can change the attitude of Stella, but not Rosa. Rosa is the main character of the novel and I have yet to see her change throughout the entire novel. The reader can benefit from this only to say that there are people in this world who need help or are convinced that whatever they do in life will not help them bring back a loved one and that is not always the answer.The point of the book is to look at life as a whole and learn to deal with obstacles that may come across one another each and everyday. The author tells us that people can learn to live with what they have or don’t have or change their lives to make It better for themselves. In my opinion, Stella changed her life completely and she did things...
