“ An example is given below: The story concerns the character of a fourteen-year-old boy, a dynamic protagonist, who is filled with dreams and fantasies driven by his admiration for a girl named Aida. Throughout the whole passage, he thinks of Aida every time, including the time when he does his morning ritual (more like a chore) of buying fresh from the oven pan de sal which

he calls bread of salt. This infatuation ends in a dreadful instance of embarrassment when he is caught by Aida, slipping some sweets, which “appeared like whole egg yolks that had been dipped in honey and peppermint”, under his shirt. But what does it imply about the character’s conclusion that he is not suited for Aida when it is merely a one-sided conjecture? What role does the bread of salt play in the dissection of the text? What is the deeper context of the story? To answer the former queries, theme and point of view (and its interpretation using the character’s background) of the story are explored. Through the tone of writing, the protagonist’s inner viewpoint and emotions are also analyzed to make sense of the positioning of the thematic opposition in the story’s meaning.

There are two types of objects: direct and indirect objects: Direct object A direct object answers the question "what?" or "whom?"

Examples: Danilo painted the tomb → the tomb is the direct object of the verb painted. ( What did Danilo

paint?) Jose invited Maura to the party → Maura is the direct object of the verb invited. (Whom did

he invite?) Indirect Object An indirect object answers the question "to whom?", "for whom?", "for what?"...

An indirect object is the recipient of the direct object, or an otherwise affected participant in the

event. There must be a direct object for an indirect object to be placed in a sentence. In other

words an indirect object cannot exist without a direct object.

Examples: They sent him a postcard - him is the indirect object of the verb sent. (To whom did they send a

postcard?) He bought his son a bike - his son is the indirect object of the verb bought. (For whom did he

buy a bike?)
