MAN OF THE SOUTH

Character

            In this short story I have an analysis. In the story I get several characters. They are Carlos, he is American boy. This man wears a large creamy Panama hat, perfect white suit and white buckskin shoes. He is a small and oldest man who looks like a sort of a South American, and had pale, almost colorless eyes with tiny bright black pupils. Carlos describes himself as a rich and sporting man but the truth is that he lies to the people about owning sleek Pale green Cadillac. The main character in this story is Carlos. The second character is an American boy. The third character is an English girl. The fourth character is a Spanish woman who has a small, black hair. The fifth character is the referee as the one who tells the story. The last is the maid who works for Carlos. In  this story the main character talked about how Carlos saw from my analyses.

Setting

            In the first part, the time is at evening sun. The place of this morning is held on swimming pool. Then, the action moves to the bar which is near with a garden and pool. It is a fine garden with lawns and beds of azaleas and tall coconut palms. The wind is blowing strongly through the tops of the palm trees making the leaves hiss and crackle as though they are on fire. There are clusters of big brown nuts hanging down underneath the leaves. In the pool itself there are three or four girls and about a dozen boys, all splashing about and making a lot of noise and throwing a large rubber ball at one another.

Moral value

First, we should be careful when interacting with stranger you do not know him at all, moreover, when we should have a deal with him. Second, betting is not a good choice because you bet something for uncertain benefits. In addition, many people have been fooled because of this thing.
