You were able to note the main techniques provided by Starkey’s checklist. One of the main points you mentioned was the main character’s goal. Even though it was not clearly stated, the readers were able to predict that finding a job is her main goal to distract herself. The conflict was clearly stated, as you mentioned, the main character was saddened by the action of her fiancé. However, I don’t think that her grief was caused by her fiancé’s action only, since he said that she was always sad. As a result, her main sadness can be the cause of something else which wasn’t clear in the story.
The second chapter begins with a “celebration” lunch between Barbara and Jack. During the lunch, Barbara shares a story with Jack about an experience she had with a former manager of theirs named Stan. She told Jack that Stan had been rude with her in the past and described a time when she felt she was sexually harassed by him at the office. Jack was surprised to learn this had happened, but was impressed with the way Barbara handled herself in response to the incident. Barbara sharing this story with Jack showed that she trusted him, and considered him a friend. This story brings to attention one of the problems women may encounter while in the industry and gives an example of how it was handled in this particular instance. The chapter ends with Jack returning home and discussing the pros and cons of being a partner with his wife, Libby. Jack is looking forward to many of the perks, such as private golf club memberships, but is worried that the extra hours and responsibilities may affect his family life.

I was thirsty and hungry, but my stomach was so uneasy I knew I wouldn’t be able to hold anything down. Darry had pulled the armchair into the bedroom and was asleep in it. He should be at work, I thought. Why is he asleep in the armchair?” (Hinton,p.156).In this part of the book was showing how Darry is willing to keep his brother Ponyboy protected and would do anything to be by Pony’s side. Another example is; “There was another column about just Darry and Soda and me: how Darry worked on two jobs at once and made good at both of them, and about his outstanding record at school; it mentioned Sodapop dropping out of school so we could stay together, and a that I made the honor roll at school all the time and ab might be a future track star… Then it said we shouldn't be separated after we had worked so hard to stay together.” (Hinton,p.108).This paragraph showed how hard Darry works in order to keep food water and shelter going to Ponyboy’s and Sodapop’s needs,plus he has two jobs meaning Darry works hard for him and his brothers.Though Darry keeps Pony healthy, well educated,and out of trouble,but there are some things that Darry does that shouldn’t let Poney do for example:“Two-bit left me sitting on the bench at the bus stop while he went to a gas station to buy some cigarettes” this example shows how Pony is hooked on Cigarettes
