Fo For The Surprise By Li Potpara

For The Surprise by Lili Potpara, I imagined a dusty kitchen floor in the beginning of the story– an empty cupboard or empty cupboards with no grocery found in them (Potpara, 2012).

Although dad loves Alenka too much not minding the debt incurred, mom really worries about the pending debt which is to be paid.

To me, it all bulges down to the loan coupled with the initial look written on mommy's face. “Mama has that look which scares Alenka.” (Potpara, 2012, para.
