Spunk still struts around town with Lena on his arm in front of the town, getting the loungers to talk. “A giant of a brown skinned man sauntered up the one street of the village…with a small pretty woman clinging lovingly to his arm” (Hurston).

The book as a whole does not have a specific conflict that it goes by. The book goes through the life of Paul Kemp, a journalist, through his struggles with work, being noticed as a good journalist, girls and life in San Juan. Although there may not be a conflict that I noticed, the author makes the life of Paul Kemp interesting enough to keep the book going. As for seeing how Paul Kemp’s life unravels at the end, it was a satisfying ending where there was closure and acceptance. It wasn’t as interesting as i’d thought it be, but it was an ending none-the-less.

Like all of us, the characters in this story are having conflicts. A conflict is any problem someone is having.

There are three main characters in this short story called “The Kiss”. Brantain, Nathalie, and Harvy are the names of the characters that take us on a short journey to show us a glimmer of their lives together and the significance of their brief interactions. Brantain is a young man who is unsure about himself and by consequence stirs little interest. In the process of courting Nathalie he learns that her attentions have already been drawn by another gentleman by the name of Harvy. Brantain sits a distance away from Nathalie and leaves little impression in the room. Except by Brantain's sheer presence, there is no other indication that anyone else is in the room besides the lovely Nathalie. Leading, thusly, to the entrance of Harvy and his swift and direct contact with Nathalie taken form of a kiss. An obvious familiar and welcomed gesture under a normal circumstance. The responses by each character is quite different from one another and gives additional insight to their personalities. Brantain's instinct is to flee the conflict immediately. His flight response lends to a weaker personality and one who is not confident to take charge of situation. Harvy's bemused state and lack of genuine remorse shows a mischievous side. Although sorry that Nathalie is upset, he is otherwise unapologetic of his actions. He shows a solid, strong personality tempered with a true remorse for upsetting Nathalie. Nathalie's reaction was of panic and dismay. Much like a spoiled child's reaction when caught doing something wrong. There was not a twinge of guilt or feeling bad for deceiving Brantain. She went into a mode of self preservation. She is finally able to confront Brantain and offer him a reasonable enough explanation for the ...

Yet he stumbles into a three week affair with longtime family friend and colleague Claire Malcolm and later into another joyless one with his student Victoria Kipps. He battles his disconnected sense of what should be valued as beauty, like family and true love, with his flawed desire that seeks artificial beauty. Kiki struggles against the ideals of feminine beauty versus what has become of her over time. Once a sex symbol in her youth, she now realizes that her image has changed to what “white American boys view as the Aunt Jemima on the cookie boxes of her childhood”. Jerome battles the ideal of beauty in family versus the dysfunction that exist in his household. When he falls in love with Victoria Kipps he later understands that he fell in love with the idea of wholeness in a family that her clan emanates. Zora Belsey’s battle is against the idea of fairness in beauty and the unfairness in reality. After she uses her skills to tirelessly advocate for the inclusion of handsome, talented yet unprivileged Carl Thomas in a poetry class, she is (in her mind) unfairly rewarded by finding he has slept with another better looking student and really cares little about her efforts. Levi battles with the idea of truth versus fakes. He views the streets as the epitome of truth and black realness, but finds out through his unlikely friendship with a Haitian counterfeit street vendor that truth is not so black and
