"The Village By The Sea" pages 152-164

In these pages some ideas and themes are formed:

-a sense of hope is created for Lila and her family
-kindness of the de Silvas even though they are rich and have the choice to ignore just another poor suffering family.
-no matter what Lila has gone through so much poverty and suffuring that nothing can shake her everlasting anxiety and worries from her mind.
-it is the turning point of the plot as they are given a reason to live and a reason to carry on trying with just a little bit of help.
-although the de Silvas are being so generous and kind, their way of showing that they are of higher status remains whether it is intentional or not. They still speak to them as their lower class.
-earlier we see Lila as a strong independent girl who comes across as a motherly figure, but we see in these pages her true child self as she admits to not knowing what to do. We are shown for the first time, Lila as a weak, innocent child who doesn't know how to handle the situation.


In these pages much fortune fortakes Lila and her family

-their mother is taken to hospital with it all paid for while they still are able to earn money
-it leads to their previously drunken father taking care for their mother and being off the "toddy" forever.
-it allows them hope for their future rather than just dispair and knowing that only bad thigs can happen.
-gives them a job to be paid for for a long time even once they have gone
