A Village Singer

A village singer portrays the home(a) conflict, the bitterness and responses of Candace when she was dismissed from the sing that served for forty years. The story partially points out the social norm that effect down for women. In this community, women are not considered equal and chip in the same feelings as men which demonstrate through Reverend Pollard and Williams Emmons.Williams Emmons is three years older than Candace, but he still holds his choir leader position. If they complain that her voice has worsened, Williamss voice logically must have the same situation as her. However, Emmons is not dismissed and remain his choirmaster position. The minister just like Candace alike serves at the church building for forty years. He hesitates of his speech and could not keep the freshness for his sermons.He still can retard in the church and continue his duties since nobody asks him to leave his position and gives him a word picture album. Candace indicates that all of them ha ve the same position in the church and change according to age, but the congregation chooses to dismiss her as she is a woman.Candaces bitterness, pain, and conflict become more intense due to the betrayal of people around her. A betrayal of Emmons who had sung duets and had walked Candace home after rehearsals in Saturday night when he said a well-nigh outrageous proceeding for Candace action. He critics her voice with Alma and supports the dismissal.Even Candaces nephew, Wilson Ford, threats to throw her organ out of the window if she continues to bear upon Almas solo. He does not express any sympathy or even gently discuss her grief. She also feels hurt and betrayed by members of the choir since they celebrate a surprise party for her and leave a photograph album with the letter informing her dismissal from the choir. However, the way that Candace responses and against to conflict is full of anger, foolishness, disregard, and arrogance.She says that the member of the church pre tends to be a Christian however, she also goes against what the church teaches. She uses photograph album as a footstool, disturbs Almas solo, refuses to pray I dont see any use prayin about it, said she. I dont think the Lords got much to do with it, anyhow and gainsay other people to stop her Id like to see anybody stop me.Besides that, the story carries the message of good-will and forgiveness. At the end of the story, Candace forgives to all people who have wronged her and also ask for the forgiveness from those people. She apologizes to the minister, reconciles with Alma, and forgive Wilson.
