Identities

The story is written in 3rd person

The man who goes for a drive in his car is the protagonist. He is a flat, mysterious, unchanging character. The character has been explained enough for this story, we don't need to know more about him to make the story more exciting.

Antagonist: The streets.

The setting is in suburban streets, starting in the day and ending in the evening. The mood changes from a feeling of comfort and to a lonely feeling.

The conflict is man vs. environment because he is trying to find his way through the streets.

The main conflict is the man getting shot by the policeman.

The climax of the story is at the end once he has left his car, and the policeman tells him to stop. This is when the reader is unsure of what is going to happen, but it is exciting to find out what does.

I do not think that the protagonist changes over the course of the story. People's opinions of him might have changed though.

I think the theme is your identity can change in different environments. The title represents part of the theme.

The main conflict helps to illustrate the theme because the policeman has mistaken him for a gang member and shoots him when he reaches for his wallet to prove who he is.

The climax help to illustrate the theme because his jacket that he bought in Paris changes to a jacket that makes a police officer mistake who he is, and shoot him.

Simile: "The grubby children who dart back and forth like fish."

Metaphor: I could not find a better example than: "Liquid with sunshine."

Personification: I could not find a better example than: "The police car, concealed in the shadows of a side street, nose out and follow him."

Symbol: Now, as he passes grey stone gates, the yards are all proscribed by stiff picket fences. This symbolizes that he is entering a "new" neighborhood.

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif';">Some of the foreshadowing is when the police car noses out to follow him and he doesn't see. <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif';">When he is thinking about blending in and he thinks "in spite his car, his day beard and his jacket might help him blend in."

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif';">Irony: The action he makes to prove he is not a gang member or criminal, is the action that the police officer thinks proves he is.

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif';">Imagery: Paper clogs the fence like drifted snow.

Assumptions based on what people do and what people look like is part of who we are, are part of the negative traits. Humanity includes making assumptions, which can be mistakes. Part of humanity is making mistakes, but also learning form them. If someone makes ann assumption, they will hopefully learn from it, and better their humanity. <span style="background-color: #fee4c2; color: #333333; display: block; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: #fee4c2; color: #333333; display: block; font-size: 13px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Complete 5/5 <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Effort 3.5/5 <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Content 3/5 <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #ff0000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Paragraph 3.5/5
