I decided to focus on “This Is What It Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona.” By Sherman Alexie. Sherman started the story with the main character, Victor, already facing setbacks. The story interested me due to having a tense situation from the beginning. I believe, the transition from beginning, to end started with the sentence, “I’ve got some money saved,” Thomas said. “It’s enough to get us down there, but you have to get us back.” (247). I chose this point as it gave Victor, hope. This opened the opportunity for him to retrieve his father.
The transition from the middle, to end, began after the sentence, “That’s why you came down here with me, isn’t it?” Victor asked. I came because of your father.” (250). Thomas had told this line to Victor.
