SPACE

 

I’m going to present the space talking a bit about each chapter.

This story passes in Devner. The action takes place in the Ferris wheel because a couple arrives to a Summer Fun Fair and they decide to go there.

 

CHAPTER: ‘REACH’.

The couple arrived to the parking lot behind the Adams Mark Hotel, but the Ferris wheel was in the other end of the parking lot. They had to pass the snakey lines and they arrived to the parking.

 

CHAPTER: ‘ENTER’.

They had to pay ten dollars for twenty tickets, but the boy paid them because he said that it’s the man’s job.

 

CHAPTER: ‘DENY’.

A little boy was running through the crowd and he was crying and the girl helps him.

 

CHAPTER: ‘TURN’.

They climb the studded silver steps up to the car, a yellow car of hopes and dreams.

 

CHAPTER: ‘FOREVER’.

The couple were talking if the teenager were happy or not and the boy told to the girl that they don’t want the ride to end.

 

CHAPTER: ‘FALSEHOOD’.

The girl was so terrified of heights and she holded his hand, but she was calm. The Ferris wheel was going on.

 

CHAPTER: ‘AGAINST TIDES’.

The Ferris stopped and they can saw where the moon will rise and the horizon. The boy told her that he loves her and she didn’t answer her.

 

CHAPTER: ‘EACH OTHER’.

They swing slowly and gently stop.

 

CHAPTER: ‘BLACK’.

The wheel started again and they swing over the top, rising on the crest of the horizon for a moment, drinking in the fast whirling of the universe. The girl told that she wanted only to end everything in the death finding safety of the whirling black.

 

CHAPTER: ‘MINUTE TRUHTS’.

They continued passing the horizon.

 

CHAPTER: ‘FAR OFF STARS’.

They passed other time at the horizon but they didn’t see any stars because was too bright.

 

CHAPTER: ‘DISTANT GALAXIES’.

The couple saw some places that they want to visit, but they told that they want to saw more times the stars.

 

CHAPTER: ‘NOTHING’.

She told her boyfriend that her father pretended to put her in the trunk of his car and drive off.

 

CHAPTER: ‘EVERYTHING’.

The boy asked her to married with him but she told that she wanted more time to thought about it.

 

CHAPTER: ‘FRIENDSHIPS’.

The girl told that she didn’t want the asphalt to become a place of black oblivion and she wanted it to be a long road under their, than supported them. She told that she wanted to be friend with him.

 

CHAPTER: ‘REALITY’.

They went around one final time. A boy let them out. The boy climbed out first and he offered his hand to her. She told yes and the boy asked what? And she told him that she wanted to get married with him and be part of each other forever.

 

 

In my opinion I think that when she is on the top of the Ferris wheel, she feels well, but when she is down, she feels bad, and this represent these moment of everybody’s life. This express her insecurity on the things she does and because of this she think of her future with her boyfriend and take decisions.
