Blurb about the story matchbox
Answers
Answer:
Summary:
On a freezing New Year's Eve a poor young girl, shivering and barefoot, tries to sell matches in the street. Afraid to go home because her stepfather will beat her for failing to sell any matches, she huddles in the angle between two houses and lights matches to warm herself.
In the flame of the matches she sees a series of comforting visions: a warm stove, a holiday feast, a happy family, and a Christmas tree. In the sky she sees a shooting star, which her late grandmother had told her means someone is on their way to Heaven. In the flame of the next match she sees her grandmother, the only person to have treated her with love and kindness. To keep the vision of her grandmother alive as long as possible, the girl lights the entire bundle of matches.
When the matches are gone the girl dies, and her grandmother carries her soul to Heaven. The next morning, passers-by find the girl frozen, and express pity. They do not know about the wonderful visions she had seen, or how happy she is with her grandmother in heaven

Answer: “Matchbox” is a short story which is written by Ashapurna Debi. The writer says that she used to compare women with matchboxes because of certain reasons. Both of them outwardly appear to be very calm and quiet. They can be seen in the kitchen, pantry and bedroom but have the power to explode. In order to prove Ashapurna Debi's statement, she gives an example. The story is set in a three-storey house. It is Sunday morning. Nomita is collecting the Ajit's “dirty clothes” in order to give to the washerman. She finds a letter from his dress' pocket which is crumbled one. After looking at the date, she understands that the letter is meant for her which came a few days before. She gets angry when she realises that Ajit has opened the letter before but did not feel to tell her. She is fed up with Ajit's this bad nature. She told him several times to stop this nature but he did not.
