character sketch of Aunt Emily
Answers
hey mate : )
====================
Aunt Emily is recognized to consistently be a very vocal person. Uncle Sam claims that she isn’t a woman because of her big mouth. She is known to have an opinion about everything and does not hesitate to share it with the people in her surroundings. On page 32, Naomi uses an analogy to express the characteristics and intentions of Aunt Emily: “For my part, I can only see a dark field with Aunt Emily beaming her flashlight to where the rest of us crouch and hide, our eyes downcast as we seek the safety of invisibility.” Aunt Emily brings attention to occurrences and issues that others try to hide and forget about. Naomi particularly seems to find Aunt Emily annoying and unpredictable. She refers to talking Aunt Emily as “walking through a minefield” because she “never quite know[s] when she’ll explode.” Aunt Emily can be seen as person that would often catch someone off guard with her open opinions, but it is interesting to see that no one in their family ever dares to talk against her. I think this may have to do with the desire to refrain from causing conflict that everyone in Naomi’s family seems to have.
