How life can affect people`s perceptions

"Odor of Chrysanthemums" and "The Rocking Horse Winner" are two short stories which were written by D. H. Lawrence, a British writer.

After reading the two stories, I realized how did Lawrence`s childhood impacted him. While I was reading “Odor of Chrysanthemums” I could notice that the story had so many events that were very similar to Lawrence`s life. This reminds me about realism, because the writer tries to focus his works on his own experiences and how difficult was for his family to stay in the world. One of these two stories tell us about a family in which there was a minner man and also a woman who was a teacher, both characters were very similar to his parents. In this tale we could see how many problems this marriage had.

Furthermore, the other story which was named “The Rocking Horse Winner”, also depicted a family which did not have enough money, and they wanted to have more. Maybe this was also related to his own life, and as it was difficult, for that reason he wrote everything that he lived once he was a little boy.

In short, I can say that both stories are showing us how difficult life is, and how can this affect us in our future development in society.
