The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky

The protagonist of this story would be Jack Potter and the anatagonist would be him being married. I believe the antagonist would be him getting married because hes a marshall and hes afraid of what the towns people will say about it. Hes self-conscious about it and keeps thinking of the worse and what will happen once the towns people find out hes married. I believe the setting would be an old town in Texas. The time would be back in the western days where they all wore cowboy hats and boots and evryone rode a horse. Thye point of view would be stream of consciousness but in third person. Jack Potter getting married seems to be like its the worst thing hes ever done and we dont know why. As the story is told throught the towns people hes a hero for fightig this guy named Scratchy. The towns people seem to think of Jack as a hero but he doesnt it and it makes you think that he might of done some badf things in the past that hes not proud of but that the towns people are. The theme of the story seems to be love can conquer anything because ones Jacks foe finds out hes married he backs off and doesnt pick a fight with him. It seems that his foe might even be happy for him or this could be a chance for them to end the fighting once and for all. Jack is ready to fight when he comes face to face with his foe and this shows that he isnt going to back down even though he doesnt carry a gun. Hes not going down without a fight and this shows that es not a coward and wont let anyone beat him.

I didnt enjoy this story as much i thought it was dull and plain. The denounment wasnt was i was expecting i was hopeing Jack would get shot in front of his bride so then it would be like a tragig love story but it ended kinda korny. I disliked this story it needed more action in my opinion.

  1. Wow! You really wanted him to get shot?? Interesting! Perhaps you need to read it a few more times--I think you would find more.
