Motherhood: Two Fragments of Della and Fleming
-Background story combing
She works at the city archives, and her co-worker tells her that the news archive is just starting to be digitized, and gives her a box of film tapes.
She read a volume called: "The 1906 Edison Bulletin." The film goes from the 1906 San Francisco earthquake to the start of construction on the Golden Gate Bridge, and she reminisces about her own life .
Born January 1, 1908 at 12:01 at Children's Hospital of San Francisco. The current story happened in January 2014, when she was 108 years old.
On June 16, 1929, Della and her mother met a young engineer while admiring the waters next to the Golden Gate Bridge.
They married 87 days later, and three years later gave birth to a daughter named Fleming, now 82, in honor of Adeline's grandmother.
On February 17, 1937, eight workers and two engineers died during the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge, and her husband died.
Ten months later she drove to pick up her 5-year-old daughter from her parents' beach house. It snowed rare in California. Della died in a car accident, but was struck by a bolt of lightning, she survived, and she lived forever. Ageless super powers.
At the beginning, facing the doubts of many people, it has become a habit for her to lie with her daughter, and her daughter is not yet familiar with the world, so she has begun to feel worried.
In 1953, she moved to the suburbs to live and parked illegally because she didn't look 45 years old. The police asked her to bring her birth certificate to the police station to get a driver's license. She behaved calmly, but then immediately packed up and moved back to San Francisco. Francisco, got an administrative position in medical school, did a lot of research, and couldn't find any clues about her situation after a year of trying.
Later, when she was off work, she was taken away by the FBI. They said it was because there was no record of her residence, but in fact they said to "run a few tests on you", which meant to do some checks on her, just in time for the plane. Something went wrong and she ran from the trunk.
From here, she said goodbye to her daughter, who was still in high school, and began a life of exile. When packing up, a close-up photo of a bright smile suggested that the happy days were over.
In order to ensure the freedom and safety of her and her daughter, she has been moving house, every 10 years in the third week of February, she moves back to run a home, changing her identity, residence, image, and not telling anyone her secrets.
She is used to not making friends, not falling in love, and she has nothing but a daughter and a dog.
- Several different states about Della
-When with Reese: very happy, loving, very powerful, cheerful, happy and relaxed, and in love with William, and in love with Ellis can be said to be akin.
-When I am with my daughter: I am a mother who thinks about her daughter, cares about her daughter, and can truly express all her emotions, whether worried, hopeless, or tired.
-When alone: lonely, lonely, vicissitudes, the mentality of a 100-year-old old man
- When it comes to the outside world: is perfect, generous, intelligent, great, amazing, can speak four languages, always with a polite smile. Her gentle and confident sense of strength is her charm.
- About why Della fell in love with Ellis and William
Personally, I think William and Ellis have common characteristics, and they are both very charming and wise men. Have their own outlook on life values, have their own pursuits, the spirit is very rich, calm, persistent, calm.
William studies the stars, Ellis studies ruins, and Della loves history.
For a woman who has outlived anyone, the average man is no longer attracted to her, and they are all specialized in a field high enough to interest a 108-year-old woman who has read many books . .
In addition to the first marriage, Della only fell in love with William and Ellis after more than 40 years.
These two men can understand her very well, and they don't need too many words, which is also a very important point. What William expressed after discovering the truth was his distress for Della and his concern for Ellis, rather than just blaming him. Although Ellis was emotionally unstable, he didn't just get mad at his father, but just asked what happened. The main point is to solve the problem, and it can also be seen here that the relationship between him and his father is very deep, and they are absolutely trustworthy. Both father and son can manage their emotions very well.
Write some understanding of the content below
This is the first and last chapter of her story, and this time she ends her flight and is finally determined to live her own life.
On December 31, 2014, Jennifer, who lives in Chinatown, took a taxi to Marin and asked someone to make a fake ID for her. The new name was SUSAN . In seven weeks, Jennifer will be gone forever, and Susan Fleisher will be on the Ashton farm outside Oregon, which Della has kept a secret for over 60 years, save for a softhearted one (tell William her real name).
It can be seen from the eyes that Jeff and Della looked at each other, first of all, Della is a woman with outstanding appearance, and secondly, her eyes also revealed that she is different. This difference is profound and mysterious. She found it from the details. The real name of the person who helped her make her ID card was Jeff, which also reflected the skills she had developed in her many years of wandering and fleeing life. She said: Don't be so hasty, it's often the details that betray you. It can be seen that she is a very cautious person.
Her conversation with the taxi driver showed that she knew the city like the back of her hand, and had lived so long that there was nothing new.
Regan says she doesn't believe Della doesn't have a better date, but there really isn't, Della has always been alone, reluctant to make friends, very lonely, because every 10 years her life has to restart and everything around her disappears Yes, nothing remains.
Her precise analysis of the boys who came to pick up a conversation showed her sophistication and keen insight in reading countless people, and the capture of details. I personally think that she is always living with a sense of tension.
But whether it is with the boys who approached one after another, or about everything around her, she doesn't feel any meaning anymore, and has no interest.
-Della and Ellis's love (6) details ended up falling in love
Della saw Ellis first, and was stunned (personally, I guess it was probably because William's similarity attracted Della), then the male protagonist and her looked at her, and then a girl went to find Ellis, and Della turned her eyes away. Later, the male protagonist broke into her elevator, chatted up with her, and stopped the taxi, but Della refused.
In fact, Ellis and Della often live in the same building, because Ellis is on the board of the San Francisco Heritage Conservation Society, and the library represents the San Francisco Heritage Society, so Ellis actually saw someone reading Braille on the stairs a long time ago. Della also fell in love at first sight. So Ellis donated a batch of books to the library as an excuse to get in touch with Della. He gave Della some "flowers", which were actually three books related to flowers. Della's answer was: "Very clever."-- -- (1) Then Ellis wanted her to hand over these books in the name of the library, otherwise he wouldn't donate. Della said she didn't like taking pictures, which was very firm, and finally compromised and accepted Ellis' invitation the next day.
Della knows the city well, and doesn't believe there are places she hasn't been to. Ellis took her to the underground in San Francisco to see a sunken ship, and told the historical story of the gold rush era. This is for those who think they have no future and love history very much. Della was very awed and delighted, she said: "Wow."---- (2) At this time, she began to ask Ellis questions, saying that she had removed a little inner city wall, and the man in front of her let her A little bit of interest. Here's Ellis's answer. First of all, he is very humble and thinks that he made money because of luck. Second, his roommate retired with the same money, but he used the money to do his favorite public welfare cause, which shows that he has a superego goal. People, many commented that Ellis is not good, but I think this short sentence can show his charisma. When Ellis asked Della, Della said weakly, "I own a dog." She had nothing else.
But Della told her that she was really leaving, and Ellis asked her to meet again. He said, I tell a joke, you laugh, come out again. At the beginning, when Della said: "A real horse?", she In fact, he didn't agree, but he actually made Della laugh. This was the first time Ellis had really laughed since she knew Della, so Ellis was also very excited. They had a second date, at Ellis' house.
But she was still preparing for Jenny's disappearance. She went to the bank to do business and saw the former bank manager who had done business for her many years ago on the wall. Thinking of her original investment, the bank manager advised her not to invest, it might take a long time to make a profit, she said that she Have enough patience. She is also very wise and rich, but she can only live in a low-key Chinatown all the time.
At Ellis's house, he cooks his own meals, half of the house he lives in, and what Della likes to make. During the meal, Ellis mentioned his father, and also foreshadowed the appearance of the old William later. He said that the old William was observing a comet, and said: "He is still looking." At this time, Della felt that he would be drunk again, Ellis Said: "Years, Lovers and glasses of wine, these are things that should never be counted." Della said: "That's not true." --- (3) After drinking they looked at the dancing people in the house opposite, Della said : "I like your view."---- (4)
-they kiss for the first time
Ellis put her head close, Della turned her head away, and made a joke of reading a Braille book by herself, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Ellis put his head close again, and he said affectionately, "You can tell me anything, and I'll believe it, because I know almost nothing about you." Della said it was the best, Ellis said: "No, it isn't." --- (5) and kissed it.
But immediately Della pushed him away, saying, "Tell me something I can hold on to forever and never let go." She needed confidence. Ellis said: "Let go."---- (6) Let Della let go completely. When kissing again, Della took the initiative to move forward a little bit.
So she fell in love again.
When she woke up the next day, she was in a very energetic state, full of energy, sunny, and it matched her appearance at once. Some commented that the heroine did not capture the feeling of an elderly person, especially the action of throwing the phone was ruined. Yes, but I think this detail is very good. Her body is always young, energetic and energetic. As long as her soul returns to a young state, she is a young man.
-Della's Three Sorrows
1. Della went to work, sat in the taxi, looked out the window with a smile on her face, passed a park, recalled the past with William, tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, when she saw that William was going to propose to her, she did not. Courage to get out of the car, and then she wiped away the tears, her face was relieved again, it had been too long, she had been through too much, she was already numb, and if she could let her cry a little bit, it showed that it was already for her. Very important.
2. When she got home, she found that her dog was dying. She was sent to the hospital and had to be euthanized. She cried in the hospital, but she cried with restraint.
3. She returned home as if she had lost her soul. She didn't answer the call from Ellis. She didn't turn on the headlights. She opened a big box and looked through the previous photos. Personally, I think the man in the photo is William, But she only put Reese's photos in the album, and all she has to accompany her are dogs, and she already has many, many dogs. Della saw the three books, put them in the box, looked at the box, and burst into tears, she closed the door of her heart again, sealed everything, her pain for the past, the present, and the future, all swept away Come.
Ellis, who couldn't find her, came to her house. She weakly stated that her dog was gone, and that Ellis should not have come to her house to find her. Then she firmly rejected Ellis and told him that she was going to move. , they will not be fruitful. Ellis was very disappointed and turned to leave, but Della looked back at Ellis, in her heart it should be the last goodbye.
Fleming persuaded Della, then she went to the male protagonist, she was still very nervous and shy, and then they went out again, this time it was the place chosen by the female protagonist, it was an abandoned cinema, and someone greeted her at the door , indicating that she often comes here. This is a fake open-air cinema, which shows that she also has a soft spot for the stars. They were lying in an old convertible, and he invited him to join them for their parents' 40th wedding anniversary. The way she drives shows that she has completely released her inner passion.
-About old William
Old William had mentioned everyone to his wife, but Della had not been mentioned, indicating that this love was also very deep and untouchable for him.
their past:
Comparing the memory with the present, it can be clearly seen that with the same face, she was very young and cheerful when she was really 29 years old, enough to see the vicissitudes of life hidden under the young appearance now. At that time, William asked her what her name was, and she gave her real name. It was the only time she told others her real name after she knew she had the superpower of immortality. She said it was something she would never do in her life. Della returned to the United States with him three weeks after they met. It is enough to see how sincere and passionate they were in their love.
After the two met, both of them stayed up all night.
Ellis said, "Your mum must've really been something." Della said, "Yes she was." This is an affirmation. Ellis didn't hear the meaning of Della's words, only Della and old William knew.
Della learned that old William named the comet after her, and the story of "a near miss", she said to old William: "She loved you too."
On the third day, everyone went out. Old William found the scar on Della's hand. In order to make sure that he was not mistaken, he also went to find out the only photo left by Della, who was unwilling to take pictures. He was convinced, and then he went to Della to ask for the truth, he could immediately understand her, feel sorry for her, and persuade Della not to run away, for herself and for Ellis. He said: "All these years, you've lived but you've never had a life." "For Ellis please, For Ellis."
Ellies found a note left by Della saying, "Ellis, I'm sorry. I can't do this. Ican't explain. Jenny."
"She's not capable of change.
After confirming that his son really loves Della, the old William gave Ellis the car keys to chase after Della.
ending
While driving, Della recalled the escapes again and again, leaving tears in her eyes. She thought of her separation from her daughter in high school, thought of Ellis, and then stopped to call her daughter. She said, "No more running."
As she was going back, she was hit by a car, then was seen by Ellis, was dead, and was rescued by electric shocks.
Fleming came to the hospital to see her and introduced himself as Jenny's grandmother. Della said, "He knows". Fleming was very, very happy.
Finally, the three of them lived together, and they raised a dog, and she was no longer afraid of taking pictures.
Della completely reconciled with herself.
Motherhood: Two Fragments of Della and Fleming
(one)
Della was waiting for her white-haired daughter in the restaurant. When she looked at Fleming from a distance, she could see the gentle power of a mother on Della's face. Without this power, it would be difficult to face life. . Della teaches her daughter to eat less salt. Fleming is always a naughty little girl in front of her mother. Her mother's broken thoughts and her daughter's dislike, her mother said what if, what if, her daughter said, then I will wait for you Come take care of me, she said if she is too late, she is worried that her daughter will leave before her. That kind of sadness.
(two)
Fleming came to help her pack and move things. Della saw a photo of her and her daughter. The daughter said that it was the last photo of them. Della laughed at herself: "Well, when you've seen one, you' ve seen 'em all." Both laughed, but she sat down, sighed, and felt exhausted, her daughter found out, and asked her what was wrong, she said: "Tired of migrating, tired of treating kindness. people lie". This sentence shows that she feels guilty for the male lead. Her daughter advised her not to live alone anymore and let her pursue love. Ellis said: "If it is destined to have no future, everything will be different." Daughter jokingly said: "What are you talkin' about, you got nothin' but future." The daughter advised her to look at life and the future more optimistically and positively. She said that the love that cannot grow old together is only heartbreak. Her daughter told him that life is like this, she is normal, but her heart has been broken many times. After listening to her daughter, she told her about meeting Ellis, Fleming asked her to pursue love, but she still refused, her daughter said: "if you won't do it for yourself, do it for me, please ."
