Assignment: Summary “Ripe Figs” by Kate Chopin

In the essay entitled “Ripe Figs” by Kate Chopin the main theme addressed is patients. This passage written by Chopin’s tells us the relationship between two types of age groups the young and the old. Time is also included in the passage somewhat major in the passage as they are relating two types of age groups as one doesn’t think there is enough time in the world rather impatient while the other is peaceful and doesn’t mind to wait. In my opinion other theme that kind of relates to Kate Chopin passage would be time due to fact as it relates to time when growing vegetables, fruits, etc. there is a factor which is time as growing them it shows that it wont grow overnight but will take time and patience. As we are young we don’t have enough patients to wait in our minds we think time we run out but as we grow older we are patient through experience and it makes us a much more better person than we were young.
