?The text under interpretation is a short story called "The Wind Blows" written by Katherine Mansfield.
             Katherine Mansfield was a prominent modernist writer of short fiction. Her life and work were changed forever with the death of her brother during The Great War. She was shocked by the experience so much that her work began to take refuge in the nostalgic reminiscences of their childhood in New Zealand. Her stories were the first of significance in English literature to be written without a conventional plot, she concentrated on one moment, a crisis or a turning point, rather than on a sequence of events. The plot is secondary to mood and characters.
             Speaking in terms of functional stylistics the text under consideration is a bright example of belles-lettres style, the main aim of which is to suggest a possible interpretation of such phenomenon of life as growing up. The text under interpretation represents the genre of a short story, which can be proved by such features as disjointed timeline, limited number of characters and an abrupt opening. The given text concentrates on a single emotion of becoming mature, which is implicitly revealed to the reader.
             The title "The Wind Blows" transmits the atmosphere of anxiety, suspense and uncertainty. It does not unfold the events described in the story, although it predicts emotional and psychological instability of the main character. The story under consideration opens with the description of a girl who woke up in her room. The girl was rather nervous and unhappy to be at home, but when she came to her music lesson she felt quite opposite – this place was a cozy shelter for her. When she was back at home her brother suggested going for a walk. They roamed over the esplanade and watched the restless sea. The story ends with the two looking back at their hometown from the board and traveling away from their home.
