  4. I think the main character is the mother. She changes the most in the story. She stats as a calm woman. “She came I, large and plump, with a little smile on her face.” In the end the mother was trembling as she drank a cup of tea.

  5. Alfred undergoes the greatest change when he sees his mom in the kitchen, upset. For example, “now he felt all that his mother had been thinking.” He was very affected by seeing his mom so upset.

  6. The story is more about how Alfred’s actions made him realize how much he admires his mom. After he gets fired from his job at the drugstore, Alfred’s mother sends him upstairs. As he was upstairs, he thinks about his mother and the story says “there was no shame in him, just wonder and a kind of admiration for her strength and repose.” This quote is showing how strong his mother is, and how much admiration he has for her.

  7. To other characters in the novel it is clear that Pyle has good intentions, yet it also becomes clear that his actions are not bringing about positive ends. Folwer states that he “never knew a man who had better motives for all the trouble he caused,” (Greene 40). In this moment Fowler is coming to realize the problems that Pyle’s “good intentions” are causing. Pyle believed that as an American, and a CIA operative, he needed to help the Vietnamese, just as he believed he need to help Phuong. To do this, he had joined forces with a Vietnamese militant group that was attempting to overthrow the Communist regime. By aligning himself with these people Pyle was creating more damage, taking more lives, than was “helpful.” Realistically, Pyle was harming more people than he was aiding.
