Analysis Of Sheila Mant

198 Words1 Page

As I am reading the story, I question whether he will pick the bass or Sheila Mant. Overall I think he will pick the bass. He is a big fisherman and really loves to do it. Whenever he has free time he is fishing. He also invests a lot of time and money. Because this is really what he likes to do he will put more money and time towards it. He also says that the fish is very big. Since the fish is super big he really wants to catch it. He may also pick Sheila. He hides his fishing because she thinks fishing is dumb. He also doesn’t want her to think he is a loser because he fishes. He also likes to watch Sheila. Whenever she is outside tanning by the lake he is watching her. He also has watched her so much he now can tell her mood by the way

    The date has finally arrived, and the narrator still is not over her magnificent appearance. As she walks out the narrator states that she was “As beautiful as she was on the float, she was even lovelier now-her white dress went perfectly with her hair, and complimented her figure even more than her swimsuit” (37). Sheila Mant seems to think that she is too sophisticated to get in his canoe as she “let herself down reluctantly into the bow” (37). At this point Sheila still serves as a heart throb for the narrator, despite her semi stuck up attitude. The narrator longs for Sheila so deeply that when she states that she does not like fishing, he hides that he is passionate about it.

    Throughout the short story “Sheila Mant” the boy is trying to decide whether he will choose the bass or Sheila. There are several reasons why I predict that the boy will choose the bass in the second half of this short story. The first evidence that leads me to believe this is that the boy is very intuitive and educated with fishing and bass. In the novel, the boy spent an entire summer fishing and learning all of the fishes names. This showed he was dedicated to fishing and found it as one of his passions not just a hobby.
