This story is about a boy who doesn't fulfill his dream to buy the love of his life a gift from the bazaar.
1. Where does the boy live?
2. How is where the boy lives important?
3. Why do you think the boy doesn't buy anything in the end of the story?
The character of the boy is likeable because I think he's immature. Everyone is immature at one point or another. I think the reason the boy doesn't buy anything in the end is because he wants only the best for this. Because he is so late he'll have to settle on something sufficient, not perfect. I think the reader can guess and assume about the boy more than the boy tells you. I think the author did a good job of creating symbols within the story but made it too boring.
