Finding one’s sense of purpose - Brian's determination and faith in the Arsenal manager's decision kept him committed to staying on his roof, despite not knowing if his gesture would make a difference. Though he could have been ignored, he stayed focused on his goal, and in the end, he saw his wish come true.

Other remarkable aspects (language, point of view etc?)

Imagery – be it visual or sensory – is mostly employed in descriptive passages that have the role of helping readers better visualise and understand the way characters act or how the setting looks like: "The excitement seems to rub off on the area, somehow, and at one time the lettering seemed to them to be a hip urban feature, like the pink neon sign that lights up the bedroom, from outside, of one of the characters in Fame. Looking down, Paul can see that the street between the flat and the stadium is empty, and the wind is blowing sheets of newspaper and torn-up programmes from the afternoon’s game high up into the air. He cannot remember ever feeling this cold in London."

Repetitions - are used several times in the story, mostly to show Sarah’s state of mind and her reluctance to have a baby with Paul:

What about work? What about money? What about sleep.

stuck in their north London flat, stuck in their will-we-won’t-we childless state, stuck with the same friends and the same restaurants and jobs and things to do…

Main idea: The main idea of this song is about a family that is going through a hard time, we see it from the child's perspective there begging her parents to stay together.

Characters

The mom: In the music video, Pink and the child are wearing the same clothes, which gives us an opportunity to connect them to the fact that Pink sees herself in the child when she was little.

The daughter: She is the main character and the song is centreret on her. Through the video we see how the daughter expresses her feelings to her mom. In the video the daughter says things like this.

Conflicts:
The conflict of the story is the difficulties that come with families. We can reference the quote from the text.

Crisis + climax:
We think that the daughter maybe is the little girl in the end of the tv-show. The family seems like a happy family. Also a contrast to the mom and daughter.

Other remarkable aspects (language, point of view etc?)

The man old Phil --> spiteful and agitated man

His girlfriend --> bisexual and beautiful.

Main Conflict(s)

The external conflict is about homosexuality. In the short story we hear about the girl cheating on her boyfriend with another woman, which he is very flabbergast about: “If it was a man—”

“Don’t say that.  It wouldn’t be a man.  You know that.  Don’t you trust me?” (Page 2, L. 52-53). We hear how he is very upset about it being a woman and not a man, that the girl cheats with. This indicates him being a little homophobic, as he rather wants it to be a man. The internal conflict is that the girl cheats on him.
