The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell: Melanie, who had been watching the sunset, went down the steps to
meet her. Cathleen was as white as Cade had been the day Scarlett
called, white and hard and brittle, as if her face would shatter if
she spoke. But her back was erect and her head was high as she
nodded to them.
Scarlett suddenly remembered the day of the Wilkes barbecue when
she and Cathleen had whispered together about Rhett Butler. How
pretty and fresh Cathleen had been that day in a swirl of blue
organdie with fragrant roses at her sash and little black velvet
slippers laced about her small ankles. And now there was not a
trace of that girl in the stiff figure sitting on the mule.
