I'd like to see the ratio of VB, VBD, VBG, VBN, VBP and WBZ. It will be more visible to make a narrative-time of them.

I find the author like to use what, how and which, maybe making an analysis with POS will be fun.

Betteredge who brought we audiences into the story in the beginning seems to be left later. All I've remembered is his long long sentences and his love to Rachel, the author seemed to weaken his existence as the narrator, it's a kind of statement of his intention.

If it represented something about his wife and his wife's first lover? The sad end which Romeo and Juliet both died for love also is related to the name "The dead".

I'd like to make comparison with adj which is used to describe people between Joyce and Mansfield. There're really huge difference between male and female authors.

I'm sure at that time Maria laughed but she was't happy. I wonder what kind of sentiment the result of sentiment analysis shows.

Polly cried and then she began to pay attention to her appearance. I think it shows she has already known Bob would admit to marry her and she would "win" in a way.

Daybreak, where would the four young men go? Will they still waste their money? Will they still young?

It's maybe referred the four young man enjoy the moment very much. No matter poor or rich they are, they are the same that night.

It's the one-side hidden love with foolish ardor. It reminds me of a movie Malela and I think something bad might happen if there's no reaction to love of the boy.

I don't really know why Mahony, the friend of "I", play the Indian as a bully and this game seems popular in the school. I'd better search for some intro to the history during the period.

There's somebody who perhaps the boy's familiar with almost dying. However, the boy's only thinking that the two candles'll be instead, which I think "paralysis" may indicate himself.

Harold has a beautiful appearance but he is also broken on the "inside", which is an echo of the title "an ideal family". All items are not as what we see seemingly.

The character of Mr.Hammond is different from other traditional male character in Mansfield's fictions. He seems to be flabby, jealous and lack of manliness, worried about the departure and dislike of his wife. And he's kind of nervous and tends to use exclamation marks, which Miss.Clack also prefer doing that.

The country girl, expecting her ball, was passive to dance like a flower floating away. It has an anaphoric relation with the previous paragraph, which girls smiled at her sweetly but strangely.

Just an attention, we need to replace "-" to " " in the garden party . Mansfield tends to use the format of 'n-adj' , which maybe we can make a ngram about.

Mansfield likes to use detailed description, Isabel was "red-faced", the workman was "black-faced", she uses the color to make a significant contrast between them. And I think we can make a color-word analysis.

The last paragraphs of Mansfield what we've read always begins with happy symbols and the definition between the pretty items and sad situation make us feel what she want to express.But it's different she begins with the tragic tone, which this one is different from others. And I think we can analyze pos of all adj tokens and visualize them.

The author loves to describe her characters in detail. I've seen many kinds of approaches of speaking in the texts, like murmur, whisper, moan and etc.. It can be analyzed to conclude the sentiment of character at that time.

It's ridiculous that they don't a word after the mutual refusal of telling something about future, which it's obvious that they've not forgotten what they want to say and they've been too worried to talk.

The poor girl is always imagining what her father would do if he were still alive. His stick is the symbol of the paternity and rights of the ruling class. She is living hard under the constraint of her father and women were weak and incapable during the period in which the story happens.

It's ironic that Kate, a nurse is like enchanted princess but two sisters talk with her very softly and even don't dare to disturb Kate again. And the description of Kate, "beaming through her eyeglasses", is very vivid that Kate is clear with the two sisters' cowardice. That's the reason why she becomes so proud in front of them.

It's a little creepy that Josephine suddenly flouncing on her pillow and then bursts into giggling. What's the reason why she behaviors so strangely? Is that because of the death of her father or another hidden situation?

As for a little girl, Laura show us the mature which is uncommon. She's been paying attention to her behaviors and copying her mother's voice and gestures. It's sort of like the Daiyu Lin which is a famous tragic character in Dream of the Red Chamber, one of Chinese Four Masterpieces.

I like the description and it's so adorable of Laura. We can see she is cute, young and naive with a little shyness. But people always can't help to destroy such a perfect girl. I guess something gonna change her.

Everything looks so nice in the garden so far, even not truly. Something not quite good appears, maybe it predicts there gonna be a transition in the next period.

If the death of Godfrey was caused by the Indians, why they didn't do anything of hurting Rachel or Franklin when the two guys held the diamond. Maybe that's called the privilege of the leading role.HAHA

It's ironical that the narrator who was always insisting "the poor girl" was definitely innocent thought of her hiding the Moonstone while the Sergeant who thought of Rosanna's suspicion don't think so.

The man is stupid and ruthless. To display his competence urgently and prove himself in front of his beloved cousin, he would rather send a girl who loved him deeply to jail without hesitate.

As the old saying, only the dead never tell a lie. Whether what she said about "never" represented that the thief of the Moonstone had been gone.

This is the first time that the narrator describe Rosanna as proud and confident. She had been attentive to Franklin before and seemed stupid and poor. What has changed her? How she get the ring Franklin dropped?

I'm thinking about where the narrator's confidence came from. He was confident of the loyalty of these servants or of the relationship between the diamond and 3 Indians.

Rosanna is a special character that the narrator doesn't write plenty words about her but the describe of her must be stunning. Her appearance is very impressive: the beach, the sea, the silence are as same as her "poor life".

What caused the sudden fury of Rachel? I'm thinking why not the thief of the diamond was someone she knew even was someone she wanted to cover it for.

The performance of Rachel is strange, I see. It's possible that she has known something about what happened to the diamond.

It's interesting that the reactions of Lady Verinder and Mr.Frannklin seem very different. Rachel's mother only cares about her safety while Franklin wants to get the diamond back. Maybe he prefers the diamond to Rachel.

In the prologue, 3 Indians had been killed and the man who killed them had't got punished. It's scaring that lives there was so tiny.

I think it indicates something. The narrator has told us about the misfortune the Moonstone would bring, so we readers are all involved into the fear and worrying about fates of these characters.

The metaphor is visual that it can tell us how surprise the narrator is and it can lead to the following twists.

His wife might be material, I guess. So it might explain what he had done in india.
