Thesis: The several elements that are important in this story are plot, theme, character and setting. The theme of this story is very important because it can be seen in everyday life among families.
I will be analyzing the story "Sunday in the Park" by Bel Kaufman. The point of view is third person objective, limited omniscient. The bully in this story is a stock character because he is your typical bully who does mean things for no reason. The bully's father is the antagonist and the mother is the protagonist. The mother was upset because she wanted the father to step up and be an example to his son. She wanted to feel protected by her husband and for her son to have a role model. The themes of this story are repression and the fact that nice guys finish last. I believe the father had some inner conflict about how to handle the situation with the bully's father. He didn't want to look like a wimp in front of his wife but at the same time he didn't want things to get out of control.
