1. The characters in the story is Shirley Adams is Neddy’ s former mistress. When Neddy arrive at her home, she is shocked by his presence and warns him that she will not him any money. She is with a younger man. I don’t like character in this story, because it doesn’t develop, it is monotone character.
2. The story happen in the affluent suburbs of Westechester County, New York, and focuses on Neddy Merril, who sespite being Middle-aged, wants to retain his youth and believes that he is vibrant individual. I don’t like setting in this story, although it just use one setting, I feel confuse after read it.
