Question 1 What did you think of Kelly before the writer revealed who Kelly was at the end of the story? The suggested answer: I imagined Kelly is a handsome gentleman as the descriptions of him was clearly describing a man. The way Sarah pictured him made me anxious to know whether they would meet and fall in love. After all, Sarah was memorizing her previous experience with Terence and Pancho. This part of the story made I felt sorry for Sarah for her bad lucks with men. Therefore, I was crossing my fingers that Sarah and Kelly would end up together. After reading the whole story, I almost laughed (and disappointed of course) when Kelly is not as what I have expected. Kelly is a horse. SighI thought this is going to be a love story but still it is a love story, between a human being with another creature
