The boy's role , traits and evidence in the story "sixteen"

Maureen Daly uses a first person narrator in her short story “Sixteen.” As the story begins, the narrator, who is the protagonist, goes to great lengths to let the reader know that she is worldly in a teenaged sort of way. She knows what the latest styles are, she reads the current editorials, and listens to the radio. She wants you to know that she is not just a silly girl. When she ventures out to the skating rink on a cold winter night, she describes the beauty of the stars, the moon, the crunchy snow, and the sounds at the rink. It seems that she is an intuitive, detailed oriented, young woman in how she presents herself and cares for her things. She places her shoes out of the way in the skate shack to keep them safe. She is a rational thinker.

However, as soon as the young male skater takes her hand, all rationality ceases. She becomes a giddy young girl who purely enjoys skating and walking home with this young man. When they reach home, he says he will call her, which she firmly believes. She waits expectantly for days before coming to the realization that he will never call. This takes you back to the beginning of the story when she says, “Now don’t get me wrong. I mean, I want you to understand from the beginning that I’m not so really dumb.”

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
