Carrying a Southern character, she produced short stories dealing with the negative side of life. She peoples her (four) stories with characters who are unaware of their illusions and defects and shows their results. On the other hand, it is easier to bar the negations than solve them, according to her. For this, she advises us to criticize ourselves. When we find a wrong, we should be courageous to eliminate it.  }, number={2}, publisher={E-Journal of New World Sciences Academy}
