Literature and your life:
Kinda, I guess you could have expected this kind of ending, not the particular sequence of things that happened but that there was a plot twist, but I wouldn’t have minded if the story was just that, an ordinary day.
Check your comprehension:
He entertained the little kid, so the mother could be more focused on the move, after he gave the woman a contact of someone that would help her in Vermont, and gave her son a peanut.
Not only does he pay them the money for one day of work, but he also “sets them” into spending some time together.
Peanuts.
Based on what she said to her husband, we could guess it was bad, since she got into a fight and more, plus the tiredness she had when coming back home.
They decide to switch roles, so now the husband would be causing troubles and making fights, and the wife would be helping everyone and pretending to be nice.
Reading Comprehension:
He helped everyone just because he could.
All the kindness he showed, the favors he did and in general the good things he did was just a part of some type of "game" with his wife.
Literary Focus:
Whenever you read the good stuff he does, you see him as a kind of good spirited guy, representing the good side of humanity; therefore, you couldn't imagine him being that good old guy as some type of cover for their twisted play, plotting for the bad side on purpose. By Verónica Ortiz G., Step 9
