One of the main themes of this story is that sacrifice. The narrator of this story is not given a name but he is fourteen year old. The narrator has a major crush on a women- seventeen year old, Sheila Mant. The narrator finally, and I say finally, asks Sheila on a date via the narrator’s boat. Then the narrator is in a pickle, he catches the biggest bass he ever caught. He has to choose over Sheila on the bass. What does he choose? Sheila of course but towards the end of the story he regrets that decision. Just throughout the story W.D. Wetherel uses many specific imagery.

Thirdly, the state can be understood through Marxism. Like elitism, it recognizes in all modern societies there is a self-interested ruling class. This group derives power from their control over the means of production; only a communist revolution can produce change to an egalitarian society (Garner, 2013). Marxists understand gender as men occupying the ruling class; they frame the power imbalance as men owning the means of production, therefore controlling the economy.
