The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Maggie: A Girl of the Streets by Stephen Crane: fergive yer bad girl? She's gone where her sins will be judged."
"She's gone where her sins will be judged," cried the other
women, like a choir at a funeral.
"Deh Lord gives and deh Lord takes away," said the woman in
black, raising her eyes to the sunbeams.
"Deh Lord gives and deh Lord takes away," responded the others.
"Yeh'll fergive her, Mary!" pleaded the woman in black. The
mourner essayed to speak but her voice gave way. She shook her
great shoulders frantically, in an agony of grief. Hot tears
seemed to scald her quivering face. Finally her voice came and
arose like a scream of pain.
