Ivy Day in the Committee Room

I don't understand this story at all as far as epiphany or paralysis go. Does anyone understand it that could explain this to me?

Dubliners Writing Assignment

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a fabulous day off! I am really having a problem with how to address the topics of paralysis and epiphany. I undestand where they are used, but I am not really sure what Mrs. Conklin wants us to write. HELP ME!!

I have started reading Dubliners also and for the people who havent started reading it yet: Dont jump right into the story. Read the notes that are in the book before the actual stories start. This helped me a lot. It helped me understand what I was going to be reading and what to look for in the stories. Hope this helps!

Two Gallants

I've gone through each story a few times, trying to figure out the paralysis or epiphany. The Two Gallants doesn't make any sense to me, what is Joyce talking about?
