Mirage
The main character of this story is a weird looking robot with a tank inside his body. He can not live without water in his tank and that's why he tries to look for water whenever he runs out of it. This story takes place underwater. The conflict of this story is the robot vs himself. The climax of this story is when he got the fish to get in his tank(stomach). The symbol is the water representing air. We cannot live without air and water is the case with him. The irony of this story is that he cannot realize he's in the water and keeps looking for water so that he can survive. The theme of the story is that people often lose sight of what is around them when they start to focus too much on something else.
