P At the beginning of the page, his Mother is very reluctant to let go of her son. C In the fourth line of page twenty, we read: Q “his mother walked on in front of him” E This suggests she is giving him a bit of space, but still expects him to follow her: she’s still leading the way for him. C The fifth line also explains this; Q “Her other arm, swinging loose” E This suggests that the arm is longing of his hand to be there, where he used to be, but she knows she has to start letting go.
P There are many contrasts in the short story, the first of which is immediately enforced as we begin the first page. C In the very first sentence of the short story we read: Q 'wild and rocky bay...crowded beach...' E The juxtaposition of these two quotes immediately introduces the reader to the strong contrast between the beach- the boys safety zone, and the wild and rocky bay- a dangerous place which the boy is intrigued by.
