This is the reason for the girls lack of caring about the changes that the world is currently going through, but as the story goes on the girls attitude changes like she has just been re-born, realising mans inhumanity to man: -.
"I blocked my ears to shut out the groans of the starving men, but I could .
not tear my eyes away from the screen.".
This is the first encounter the girl has had with the reality of war and she is very disturbed, this is where her loss of innocence begins. The graphic images of starving prisoners of war and maniacal Japanese soldiers were too much for the young girl to accept. This is another reference to how young the girl is, as she is physically sick because of how disturbing she found the film.
In the opening lines of the story the word choice shows how young the girl is and her childish voice can be heard in the readers mind: -.
"I was in the fifth grade at Annie F. Warren Grammar School in .
Winthrop.".

The use of colour is a very dominant technique in the story as it reflects moods and there are small connotations to the war. The change of colour in the young girls life is bright and vibrant at the beginning of the story but at the end there is the total absence of colour, just a dark, dull, neutral cavity where this young girls happy days once were: -.
"Feeling the black shadow creeping up the underside of the world like.
a flood tide.".
This is towards the end of the story where the young girl realises for herself how cruel and dark the world really is, which she does not take lightly, as at that moment her childhood ends. No more dreams of air-planes or dramas of Superman coming to the rescue, just the blatant fact that the human race is poisoned and corrupt with greed, envy and hostility.
