PERFORMACE: Write a short paragraph with a title; FIRST IMPRESSIONS LASTALTERNATIVE OUTPUT: Search a review of the given story and then comment whether you agree or not.An example is given below:The story concerns the character of a fourteen-year-old boy, a dynamic protagonist, who is filled with dreams and fantasies driven by his admiration for a girl named Aida. Throughout the whole passage, he thinks of Aida every time, including the time when he does his morning ritual (more like a chore) of buying fresh from the oven pan de sal which he calls bread of salt. This infatuation ends in a dreadful instance of embarrassment when he is caught by Aida, slipping some sweets, which appeared like whole egg yolks that had been dipped in honey and peppermint, under his shirt. But what does it imply about the characters conclusion that he is not suited for Aida when it is merely a one-sided conjecture? What role does the bread of salt play in the dissection of the text? What is the deeper context of the story? To answer the former queries, theme and point of view (and its interpretation using the characters background) of the story are explored. Through the tone of writing, the protagonists inner viewpoint and emotions are also analyzed to make sense of the positioning of the thematic opposition in the storys meaning.

There must be a direct object for an indirect object to be placed in a sentence. In other words an indirect object cannot exist without a direct object.Examples:They sent him a postcard - him is the indirect object of the verb sent. (To whom did they send a postcard?)

He bought his son a bike - his son is the indirect object of the verb bought. (For whom did he buy a bike?)
