Rosemary's kindness
At the beginning of the story,the writer descibes Rosemary as a prodigal,vainglorious woman was rich in physical but poor in spirit.She was addicted to shopping,and even bought some luxuriant but useless things to prove her state and social status.As she stepped out of the antique store,she was disappointed.A poor girl's appearence excited her interest.A new idea occurred to her that she wanted to help the girl.She took her home and pretended to be kind.However,we can easily discovered that Rosemary just dressed herself as a kind woman.A true warm-hearted woman will never neglect other's feeling.Rosemary helped the girl because she wanted to be praised as a kind woman.She never stood in Miss Smith's shoes.
The ending was even more ironic.Philip's praise made Miss Smith leave the warmth.Rosemary was jealous.She gave no kindness to Miss Smith any more.Her sympathetic was so linited and weak.
When we come to charity nowadays,we complain about those who disguise themselves as kind-hearted people but contribute nothing to others.Assistance doesn't simply mean money or food,but respect and understanding to others.We do good things because we are warm-hearted and want to spread love in our society,not for praise from others.
