"Little Cog-burt" & " Cotton Candy"

     Cotton Candy follows a girl named Lola. Lola is a humble girl who seems to have a perfect and content life as an individual, but since she is inwardly longing for someone to share her life with. She remains sad and closed off for not being able to find her soul mate. Her friends are mainly her customers, who trust her to the extent of buying charity contests from her. She is a girl who is vulnerable to her childhood dreams, and sees them everywhere in nature.

     For example, she loves and associates with butterflies to represent love and copulating monkeys that for sex. The desire to get love is so high that she cannot take it any longer and she is willing to put her reputation at risk to get what she has always wanted in her life. This transformation from a girl to a woman; is the peak of her female sexuality. She finally has the ability to live up to her potential, which she had greatly subverted all along.

    Dora Alonso metaphorically described Lola's life through the butterflies' life and death, with every man she met. This alined with her love life, and how she felt about herself inside after every time she was rejected.The long detachment from romantic relationships only served to fuel her childhood fantasies and ideas about relationships.

     Little Cog-Burt is a story about a husband and wife whose kids are away at boarding school. They own a plantation in the Caribbean and Moira despised the children of her servants. Richard on the other hand, thought that they should get the children gifts for Christmas. Because of this, Moira was angry at Richard. Eventually though, she got over it and decided to give the children gifts.

    Phyllis Shand Allfrey described Moira's emotions through her sadness of being away from her kids. This made her want to spite the other children. Once she got over herself and realized that the children did nothing wrong to her, she was able to gift all of the children. Little Cog-Burt didn't like his toy, in spite of it being the best one. Phyllis made Moira feel angry inside, only to be met with Cog-Burt wanting the angel atop the tree. The angel had the locks cut from her hair earlier. This put everything into perspective for her.
