Chris is a bit uneasy about how Rose's’ family will treat him, as they're white and he's black.

Foster begins to introduce a conditional situation about a fictional character named Kip who is described as run of the mill; The story continues to unfold as Kip goes on an errand for his mother which is almost a “quest,” as Foster puts it.

    In Thomas C. Foster’s How to Read Literature Like a Professor, Chapter 12 is dedicated to symbols, and how they are not concrete.
