...About "The Rocking-Horse winner" and "Odour of Chrysanthemums"...

For me, was amazing how the writer's life was mixed with each story. Every event of his life was mentioned in some way. I knew that every writer give something of his or her personal life to his/her masterpiece in order to create a real story with real events but here I realise about the importance of doing it.

DH. Lawrence was focused on monetary issues and we could see it in both stories. Also inside his work he presents values. For example, the important things that we could lose if we pay so much attention to money as love relationships. From my point of view we was worried about transmiting this topics because in one time of his life he experienced. On the other hand, the possesive mother present in "The Rocking- Horse winner" was very similar to his own mother. The image of a strong woman controling the child's life and making decitions for him.

On the whole, DH, Lawrence brings very contemporary issues and he also used his own life to develop the plot of his stories in order to make it more real and meaningful to people.
