A stream of consciousness is defined as a continuous stream of thoughts, uninterrupted by objectivity, and most often relayed in chronological order. The Jilting of Granny Weatherall is a classic example of the stream of consciousness, as we experience the thoughts and memories, which flow through her mind, as she dies. WE experience her mind wandering and then focusing on a random thought that pops into her head.

All those letters—George's letters and John's letters and her letters to them both—lying around for the children to find afterwards made her uneasy. Yes, that would be tomorrow's business. No use to let them know how silly she had once been.
