The short stories that I choose are The unicorn in the Garden and visiting day.
Both of the story are very unique since both have a lot of teaching value that are
important in daily life. The story of The unicorn in the Garden tell about a husband who
had see a unicorn in the garden and trying to prove it by telling his wife while the short
story visiting day tell about strong family who understand the meaning of unconditional
love.

Both of the short stories show the theme of trust. In the story of The unicorn in
the Garden the theme of loyalty can be seen between the wife and the husband. For
example in this story, although for the first time the wife disagree with her husband but
after that the wife do agree with her husband saying and it can be shown when the wife
called police and psychiatrist to prove the story. In the story of visiting day the theme of
trust can be shown between the son and the father. In this story Jakes really trust that
she can see her father soon although she do not know either it will become true or not.

The lead character means the main character in a story. The lead character in
the story of The unicorn in the Garden is the wife and the lead character in the story of
visiting day is Jakes and both of the character in the two stories show that the
characters are trust person. For example, in the story of The unicorn in the Garden, the
lead character who is the wife really trust on her husband although for the first time she
disagree with her husband but for the second time after she woke up from bed she
directly called the police and psychiatrist and this shown that the wife really trust on her
husband. In the story of visiting day the main character shows the she is really trust on
her father although she did not know when her father will going back to home.

The setting of the story The unicorn in the garden shows the place and the time
for the story. For the short story The unicorn in the Garden the place happen are in the
house and the garden. For example the place where the man saw the unicorn was in

the garden and the place where the wife of the husband sleep was in house. The time
is in the morning and it can be shown when the wife ...In the story of visiting day, one of
the place was at field and the time was summer.
