Introduktion
The brief tale titled "Noel" was penned by Michael Plemmons back in 1985. Christmas, a time to commemorate the birth of Christ, embodies hope, light, and above all, our affection for one another.
As Charles Schultz so eloquently put it: "What's beneath the tree isn't the key; it's who gathers around it."
This narrative paints a poignant picture of orphans, bereft of familial love and care. Yet, it also delves into the profound matter of exploiting others.
Utdrag
The narrative unfolds through the lens of a third-person, non-omniscient narrator who refrains from offering personal commentary on the unfolding events.
However, this narrative choice deliberately brings to light circumstances that sow seeds of doubt regarding the true intent behind the "Kristmas Kid" arrangement.
While this arrangement ostensibly benefits both childless couples and orphaned children, it leaves readers pondering whether it genuinely serves the children's best interests.
It's the transactional nature of the enterprise and the fact that Mrs. Overton reaps the profits that stir a disquiet within me.
In my view, Mrs. Overton falls short of being an ideal guardian for these forsaken children, primarily due to her absence of empathy and her penchant for prioritizing her personal gains over the welfare of the orphans.
