N1  - Breakfast at Tiffany's -- House of flowers -- A diamond guitar -- A Christmas memory
N2  - Holly Golightly, a naïve, eccentric socialite meets Paul Varjak, a struggling writer who moves into her apartment building; House of flowers: The story of Ottilie, a young woman from Haiti, whose only power is in deciding which life of submission she will lead, one as a prostitute or one as the wife of Royal Bonaparte, a native from the mountains; A diamond guitar: The title refers to the prize possession of a young prison inmate, a rhinestone-studded guitar. The guitar serves as the key image of the story, one of friendship, despair and isolation; A Christmas memory is a semi-autobiographical piece about his childhood in rural Alabama with his eccentric, older female cousin, often referred to as his "friend" or "Aunt Sook". The story focuses on their unique bond and their shared experiences during the Christmas season, particularly their tradition of making and sharing fruitcake
