Another character in this novel is Gaby. She is not a main character but she does play an important role in the story because she is Mariette's (a main character) best friend. Gaby owns an art gallery and is very sophisticated. She and Mariette have been friends for many years, which is the reason why she lets Mariette borrow her car for the weekend. Gaby is so sweet and such a loyal friend that she doesn't even ask Mariette why she needs the car! In fact, she has no idea that Mariette is going to use the car to drive to Paris (by the way, they live in Brittany) to meet up with Joseph who has been in prison for six years.
Mariette was supposed to bring the car back on Sunday morning but ends up needing it for the whole weekend because Joseph is trying to escape from prison with it. I know that sounds confusing! A couple of times during the day on Sunday, Mariette phones up Gaby to say that she needs the car for a longer amount of time but can not explain why. Gaby is still very sweet and kind; she doesn't ask Mariette for any explanation and only tells her to keep the car for as long as necessary.
For this reason, I chose a jar of honey to symbolize Gaby's sweet personality. Honey is quite sweet and can often be used in place of regular sugar. I just looked it up: for one tablespoon of honey, there are 17 grams of sugar. That's quite sweet! They say that "honey is the nectar of the gods".
How many friends would not put up a fuss if a friend needed the car for longer than was originally planned and not even ask any questions about it? I think Gaby is like a jar of honey!
Well written, also good job on choosing the object to describe Gaby's personality.
ReplyDeleteGaby is really sweet for letting her friend borrow her car without even asking why. I think the jar of honey really does fit Gaby
ReplyDeleteA jar of honey is a very good to describe the personality of Gabi!
