  2. Brewster vividly conveys her boredom of the monotonous everyday lives of the cities, hustling and buzzing beyond imagination leaving her as a pawn of the developed civilization, condemning her to draw remarks with her past, a natural wonderland, with deadlines, foreign to the outward eye. Composing herself as a "fountain in the centre", Brewster draws comparisons with the lives of the busy and those of "tropical sea-gazers", a tropic grace" which often leads the line to separatism of herself from the residents, her nostalgic cognizance merely overcoming her sense of thought, leading readers to the inference that she longs for the comfort of Home.
