Pattern of Development between "Saboteur" and "The Storm"


            In this essay I will address some of the similarities and differences in the pattern of development between "Saboteur" and "The Storm." First, I will start with character focusing most on the chosen character's motivation. Second, I will contrast the setting of each story. Third, I will address the tone in which I think the story is written. Finally, I will compare the style of each story.
             The character in "Saboteur" that I want to look at is Mr. Chiu. His motivation slowly builds throughout the story. Mr. Chiu's character developed quickly into his role of being charged as a saboteur. It is clear that Mr. Chiu's motivation was to seek revenge against the police department which in turn became revenge against the city, Muji. Mr. Chiu was disgruntled for being arrested and having to admit to a crime he feels he did not commit. His anger was not just toward the situation, but also toward his wife. This was evident in the comment he made when the former student, a new lawyer, arrived to aid in his release. When he looked out his small window, he found his lawyer being held captive in the yard under the hot sun because of his disrespectfulness toward the chief of police. .
             When Mr. Chiu was released the first thing he did was to seek his revenge in an inconspicuous manner. He went to several different eateries before returning home exposing hundreds to his outbreak of hepatitis.
             "The Storm's" character Calixta developed slower than Mr. Chiu. Calixta was calm in her own world sewing until she realized the sky was getting dark from the approaching storm. It was then that she started to worry about her husband and young son being out in the storm. When her old lover Alcee" rides up on his horse just in time to weather out the storm, Calixta wards off his romantic advances. Shortly, thereafter, she gives into the lust as the trees give into the wind gusts outside. She let herself get wrapped up in the moment, which in the end turned out to help her, her husband, and Alcee".
