An obituary for the fifth aunt came late

Conflicts - author draws a picture of someone working in the kitchen and found it hard to recall her fifth aunt but she insisted that she remembers her fifth aunt. (pg. 150)[internal conflict]
- fifth's mother doesn't appreciate fifth aunt (pg. 151)[external conflict]
- when father mentioned he wants tea or hungry already mother will always give him what he wants.

Climax - their mother contiunally bewailed fifth aunt.

Resolution - complete resolution. sad but a complete ending with death.

Characters - hardworking (pg. 160) wash stained underwear.
- patient (pg. 152) when doing housework and her mother nags at her and yet she still contiunes to do her usual work.
- meticulous (pg. 149) when she tried to talk to the others.
- independent (pg. 157) when she produced a suit on her own.

Fifth aunt's mother - unreasonable (pg. 152) mother continues to bewail at fifth aunt even though she had done nothing wrong.
- reliable (pg. 152) the endless chores.
- smart (pg. 152) he had learnt the code well and never get scolded by her husband.

Father - lazy (pg. 152) open his mouth and pnly knows how to demand things like tea and hungry already while sitting there and waiting to be served.

Interesting part about the story - The author mentions about the life of her fifth aunt as in my opinion she pities her aunt but have to keep away from her at all cost due to her mother strict warning. The author decribes about her aunt's life in the past when she asked about her aunt's past life and right till after the war and work.
