Thrill of the Grass

1. "You always struck me as a man who dreams.." The man says to the man who once actually played baseball and misses it more than anything. He wants to play baseball again more than anything.

2. Protagionist is the Canadian Man in the ball field.
Antagionist are the people who layed the turf down.
Person v. Society. The man wants them to remove the
astroturf from the field so they have to do it themselves
but going on a strike.

3. 1st person limited

4. Inciting Event: Meets the other man in the ballpark
Climax: Comes back to park with people to tear turf

5.Man goes into ballfield, looks around. Remembers how much he misses the game dearly, and how bad he did in highschool. He notices the astroturf and doesn't like it. Thinks is kind of demeaning towards baseball fields. He wants to replace the field with real grass like normal. Gathers a group of people together create a protest to change the field. He gathers a group of people together, and the next day, they cut up the turf and lay new grass. He watches and doesn't help. What a JERK.

6. Home: He sees the field as his second home. He grew up watching baseball all his life.
Freedom: The field is his get away. He goes there to relax and feels like there's nothing around him to cause him stress.
Tech: Astroturf wasn't around since the 1980s.

Bryce - overall good job, but what are you arguing about symbolism? I don't see it. Are suggesting something represents dreams? Go further with question 1.
