    Literary Focus:
    Theme and Plot
    Review:
    Freytags Pyramid
    Exposition:
    The story started with a man named Vicente,
    comes to the house of the two children, Oscar
    (little boy) and the unnamed little girl, to tutor
    them. The family trusted the man because even
    though he is just a conductor, he appeared to be
    gentle, kind and it seemed like there is nothing
    to fear when he is around.
    Rising Action
    One evening, Vicente came earlier than usual.
    The children immediately put their lesson down
    and told him the envy of their classmates from
    the pencils he gave them. He then asked Oscar
    to get him a glass of water.
    Climax
    Vicente got the trust of the little girl because he gave
    him 3 pencils
    (he only gave 2 pencils to Oscar) .
    He then held the little girl by the arm, took her up
    lightly and held her to sit down on his lap. Then the
    little girl kept on squirming and for some reason, she
    felt uncomfortable. Vicentes face was wet with
    sweat and his eyes looked strange.
    The girl jumped away from Vicentes lap then
    her mother came down the stairs holding their
    merienda or snack for them. She sends the
    children upstairs and then she talked to Vicente.
    She slapped him a couple of times, without him
    resisting or defending, then sends him away.
    Falling Action
    Denouement
    The mother bathed the little girl and dressed her
    in new clothes. The little girl went to sleep. The
    mother then took the pencils and the clothes her
    daughter have worn and put it aside for
    tomorrow. Tomorrow came and she put it in the
    fire.
