2. Lawrence’s story is written in a third-person narration style. The story emulates a traditional “quest” in that it begins with a problem in which a “damsel” is in “distress” (i.e., Paul’s mother desires more money). Paul takes it upon himself to find a solution to her problem, acting as a heroic knight. In the end, he sacrifices himself for her and is ultimately pleased that he could do what he could to make her happy. (All paragraphs)
