Yes

Well how do you think the narrator feels about her current situation?  (AKA their life)

anonymous · Answer

Do you think she's afraid of failure? Or proud of her independence?

anonymous · Answer

it's okay :) 

I'm not so sure the narrator is really talking much about her proudness of her independence, but that's just my opinion. Anything else the author could've possibly made the umbrella represent?

The white umbrella symbolizes the music teacher. The reason why the narrator threw it down the sewer is because on the way back home they had a car accident and her mom's eyes were close and she thought she was dead, and realizing this she threw it down the sewer
