In the short story “Bia Lowe: I Always Write About My Mother When I Start To Write.” The word flurry was used in the third paragraph and it said. “But at that moment, as I watched her reel in a flurry of smells and powders, I must have felt myself to be quite separate from her.” When I first read this sentence I didn’t think too much of the word because I felt it wasn’t important to understanding the sentence. Now that I actually look up the word I feel that it gives the reader of more vivid picture of what is going on. As I understand it is she/he, the main character saw and smelled her/his mom put on the makeup and perfume and it happen to come together around her mom to make a beautiful sight. To better explain it is a picture bellow.
