Setting- Populated city with technology level close to present. (very little of it was talked by the boy)
Conflict- Lost things VS. society
Point of view- First person
Climax- when the door opens to the different world where the identical creatures swarm around free form doing "more important things."
Symbol
Grey- conservative, old age, sadness, and boring. Very boring world.
Grey ocean - pollution
The lost thing- originality, uncommonness
Irony- The boy tries so hard and returns the lost thing but ends up like everyone else, dull and boring.
