Her Theatre Box achieves several purposes. It limits the number of mementos she can keep, making her sort out the less-significant ones. It protects the things she does keep. The box keeps her mementos all together so she can easily look through them when she’s in the mood to relive those fun years of her life. She treasures those items. If an item is truly sentimental, truly impossible to purge, that item should be treasured.
