Pastime

Conflict(internal) An internal conflict in the story is that the story which Tai Poh claims that is not true (but might potray his life as well), might be true. It could be that he does not want to tell Mr Lee the truth because he is too shy to talk about his past, so he tries to potray it as fiction. Pg 214
Conflict (external) An external conflicts is the story told about Tai Poh, the one about a young man who decides to fight in the jungle. Pg 213
Climax I think that the climax of the story is when Mr Lee decides to tell his own little story about a security guard which might also reflect on Tai Poh’s life. It adds more suspense to the story from this point.
Resolution The resolution of the story is a revelation. Nothing much happens other than the conversation ending, but, it has made both of them realize certain things about their lives and that some things about their lives and that some things are best kept as stories.
Characters Tai Poh: Mysterious (tells a story which could be about himself but claims it is fiction pg 215)
: Creative (likes to make up stories to past the time pg 212)
: Shy (never share his stories pg 212)
Mr Lee : Attentive (listens to Tai Poh’s story attentively pg 216)
: Creative (makes up his own story after hearing Tai Poh’s pg 2!7)
: Persistant (wants to continue his story despite Tai Poh’s objection pg 217)
Man mention in Tai Poh’s story: Brave (would go on television pg 213)
: Ambitious (full of dreams pg 213)
: Reckless ( join a fighter group when he was young)

I think the most interesting segment of the storyis when Mr Lee decided to tell Tai Poh his own story. This made the reader more interested in the story and made me wonder what Mr Lee was intending to hint at Tai Poh.
