A critical analysis of Elspeth Davie's short story, "Sunday Class" with a Bibliography

Elspeth Davie's short story, "Sunday Class" is one that juxtaposes a conventional Sunday school with hierarchy. The Sunday School teacher obviously lacks love for animals. Miss McRae is annoyed by the young boy's response to her question of what God wants them to be thankful for? The young boy replies with "dinosaurs", annoyed that all the other children have already blurted out all the good answers. Immediately after the young boys statement we see Miss …

…not abide by the pro-animal, environmentalist codes that protect the rights of animals. Society code of the notion of a collar also reveals the superiority of Miss McRae. All of these things convinced me to conclude this perception of Miss McRae, thus making a connection between her and the display of the isosceles triangle. BIBLIOGRAPHY Davie, Elspeth.
