Laura cannot explain what life is?for who is really capable of answering that question? One must also note that Laura has never been outside her ?protected? and natured environment. Her world of peace and ?perfection? had never before been placed in perspective, which is why the death of the ?poor? and all feelings it may have conveyed for her were simply too much to abhor. ?It? can symbolize and mean anything the reader chooses it to be. For how could any person on earth be ready to express the meaning of life?surely the writer is smart enough to accept and recognize that some questions, in this case the statement?have simply no answer.
