why did the narrator giveup his ambition to be a painter
Answers
Answer:
In My Greatest Ambition by Morris Lurie we have the theme of hope, aspiration, disappointment, rejection and disillusion. Narrated in the first person by a man called Lurie (assumed to be the author) the story is a memory piece and the reader realises from the beginning of the story that Lurie may be exploring the theme of hope and aspiration. The narrator had hopes of becoming a comic-strip artist and for the duration of the story right up until the end he continues with this aspiration. Going as far as sending his first comic-strip to Boy Magazine. What is also interesting about the narrator’s actions is the fact that the narrator assumes he will be offered a full time job by the magazine after their acceptance of his first comic-strip. However he is left disappointed when the Magazine decides all it wants to do is purchase the comic strip. This rejection by the magazine and the subsequent closure of the magazine may be important as it changes the course of the narrator’s life. No longer does he have the aspirations he previously had of becoming a comic-strip artist. Rather instead he becomes like every other boy in his class, a dreamer. Which may be the point that Lurie is attempting to make. He may be suggesting that in youth an individual no matter how talented can lose hope when they are rejected. Which is the case for the narrator’s second comic-strip.
The narrator’s relationship with his father is also interesting as throughout the story his father shows a lack of support for the narrator’s ambitions. If anything he makes light of the narrator’s ambitions. This may be important as it could suggest that the narrator in many ways is alone when it comes to his creativity. Whether the father understands the narrator or not it is clear that he does not show the narrator the kind of support one would expect a parent to show a child. Similarly the narrator’s mother is somewhat distant. However at the same time she is bragging about the narrator’s talents to anybody who will listen. Though it may be important that she does not actually congratulate the narrator on any of his achievements. She may be proud of the narrator yet she does not let him know this. Instead due to her over enthusiastic ways she opens the telegram addressed to the narrator. It is also possible that the mother is living her life through the narrator. She may be bored with her own life and the narrator is the only one who brings any type of excitement to her life.
