The boy in the story seems to be dealing with “love at first site” or what he thinks is love. I would describe him as determined, passionate, and easily influenced. He was so fascinated with a girl who he only exchanged very few words with and he didn’t know why. While he wasn’t mature yet, I feel like he was on the right track to be because he was aware that he didn’t know why he felt so in love with her. He felt obligated to bring her something from the bazaar, possibly thinking that a gift may be the way to win her love rather than just speaking to her. When his uncle forgot he wanted to go to the bazaar and came home late, he was upset but still very determined to go. When he ended up going late and not buying anything, he was angry and defeated. The bazaar seemed to be closing and he couldn’t find anything to buy for his crush. I think he was angry at his uncle, but at himself too for thinking it was a good idea in the first place.

One thought on “Christina Berry Discussion 5”
Christina, please try to respond more directly to the prompt. This is a good recap of the story; however, I am asking students for analysis of the protagonist’s character.
