The short story is about how Enn (our narrator/main character) was invited by his friend, Vicc, to a party filled with girls. The experience becomes very odd and difficult for Enn after interacting with a few women in the party since he can’t seem to reconnect or understand them because of their inhumanly behavior.

Based on the words of Enn, the setting is in a 2- story house, located near the backstreets of East Croydon, which is in the Southern region of London. By the description of Enn, the house must be in the rural areas in the streets of London as their party was located nearby “the narrow houses” with “parked rusted cars and bikes”. I assumed it was near a rural area as the address of the party seemed to be complicated to travel to according to how detailed Enn was with the directions. Since it is set in London, I’m also assuming that the environment in the streets are mostly empty, which is understandable why both Enn and Vic are able to easily go to this party without any restrictions or distractions. The entire interaction was set during a “summer evening”, specifically around 8pm. Based on the musical artists mentioned by Enn (such as Sex Pistols and David Bowie), this is most likely set in the 70’s.

Serves as the narrator and main protagonist of this story. The oldest  and the only male out of 3 siblings. Follows Vicc’s moves no matter how skeptical or rude he may be. Known as the typical “wingman” of Vicc when it comes to parties or interactions with girls. Has a hard time understanding or conversing properly with girls.

Known as the youngest out of five boys in his family. Very adventurous and rowdy to a point that he gets into trouble. Based on his attitude in the story, he seems to be your typical toxic masculine arrogant womanizer. Has a lot of connections with a lot of girls. Known to be ‘smooth” and confident around girls.

The first detail mentioned about her is that she has a crooked white grin smile. Based on her character, she seems to be very approachable and easily welcoming since she allowed two boys who she's unfamiliar with at first, and eventually allows one of them to make out with her. According to Enn, she seems to be the most beautiful woman in the party. She is most likely to stand out among the four women that Enn has interacted with. However, she seems to have an odd connection and relation with Vicc both at the beginning until the end of the story.

In this gender norm world, we could see the different perspectives and stereotypes of how an average male and female thinks or acts. In the perspective of the boys in the story, the girls are seen as odd "alien-like" robots to which they cannot understand or relate to; the way it reflects how boys and girls have different expectations of one another. However, these are actual human beings who just so happened to express themselves differently. You could see the difference in how each character thinks in the story. The boys are usually there to not just converse or interact with the girls, but to hope for an intimate sexual experience with them mostly. We could probably relate this to the topic of the male gaze where men only see women as sexual objects; focusing more on their physique rather than their other qualities like personality and intelligence. Notice how in the story, Enn does not remember any detail about what the girls have talked about nor remember the name of the second girl he conversed with (because he didn’t bother to ask). That is most likely the reality we live in at the moment, where boys will mostly remember girls by their face and body, but not by their personality nor name.

It is quite ironic for a boy like me to read this story because in all honesty, I did not understand what the dialogue was all about nor did I understand where the story was building up to. However, reflecting on the personality traits of each character, I slowly understood that this short story isn’t about giving tips on “how to get a girl to like you” or “how to get girls in a party”. The short story talks about the perspective of an average teenage boy (possibly going through puberty) trying to converse, interact and reconnect with some girls he has never met before. The plot itself goes to show how terrible boys are when it comes to interacting with girls our age. The main objective of the male characters in this story is to have a sexual intimate interaction in the first place, whereas the female characters in this story were just looking for strangers to converse and reconnect with. To be honest, I only understood what the boys were talking about instead of the girls because I am a boy myself, I relate and understand more to the male characters rather than the female characters in the story. It goes to show the reality that boys could never truly understand what women talk about or what women go through. From a story that gave a sort of  “creepy thriller” build up that these girls were aliens or creatures because of the way they talk and express themselves, to a reality in which  it was just an ordinary interaction that would have been memorable and enjoyable for many if the boys had the same objectives as the girls. For me, it’s sad how the male characters and the audience perceive them as “secret robots” or “aliens” but in reality, these are actual humans that have their own way of expressing themselves.

I could say that the themes shown here are the concepts of Gender relations and puberty. It’s pointing out how boys and girls of that specific age, usually have a hard time conversing or interacting with each other as they seem to have different expectations with one another, usually making them incompatible. It shows the common reality of the different perspectives of both the young male and female, making it challenging to understand one another. Its message is wanting us to see the bigger picture of one another; being able to explore and notice our differences for a much more intimate and stronger relationship/bond

This story will always be relevant in the world today and the near future, especially for teenagers having to deal with puberty. It spreads like wildfire for young adults and it is mostly challenging to adapt or control as it affects the interaction with the different gender. This story points out the reality and the stereotype to which we boys and girls currently struggle, which is to properly understand one another. The way the boys think and interact with the girls here are common in the actual world we live in. The reality where we only focus on the physique and getting to be able to be intimate with the girl rather than having a wholesome connection and a stronger bond with them. This story coincides with the concepts of Feminism, specifically "the Male Gaze".
