The setting of this story was on the Third
Avenue and it happened on the warm summer night. This story was told from the
point of Omniscient, because there was a sentence that “ …she suddenly thought
of jumping off the bridge.” This feeling was impossible to understand just we
read. The conflict of this story was a girl against herself. In addition to
this, the hitting of the boy with telephone pole was also conflict, literally.
The
climax of this story was when the boy hit to the telephone pole. From this
action, every situation had changed suddenly, I thought. The smell of the
flowers was the symbol for the beginning of love between two of them, I guess.
Another symbol of this story was the ugly, gum-metal grey. It was a symbol of girl’s
mind which was lack of confidence. The irony of this story was that the
handsome sportsman hit the telephone pole, I think. Although he had a nice
look, because of looking at her, he turned out to be funny character. That was
why I chose this part as the irony.
The main theme in this story was
the fact that we couldn’t predict what would happen in our life, and don’t be
careless of yourself.
