The beginning of this story seems to be setting the place of
the story and introducing the characters. Reading about the two children seemed
a little inappropriate being that they were only twelve and thirteen years old and
one giving the other massages with her body being exposed. The narrator
explains and provides a very detailed and vivid description of the setting. The
end of the first section introduces us to a conflict between adult and children
sexuality because we find that the Marion father kisses both girls on the mouth
when going to bed.
As we read the second section we can tell that it goes into
more about sexuality. Marion is more confident and comfortable with showing her
body off because she knows that the men gives her what she wants. Jack watches
the girls in a more sexual way which is inappropriate because they are much
younger, however Marion doesn’t seem to be bothered by this but the next girl
feels uncomfortable and declares she never wants to wear the swimsuit again
because it exposes her body.
i agree with you for the beginning it was a more of a introduction for the first break explaining in detail where whatever was going to happen is taking place and she painted a perfect like you said a vivid background for us so we have idea what the surrounding area is kind of like, but i dont agree with a child adult conflict I do think its odd for them to be kissing each other but many parent children do it to call it as far as conflict may not be an actual conflict yes because the author didnt really say much for it, and the second part i agree with you as well it does take a dive toward a sexual way and just goes into the story
