This
short story tells about a woman who got a big exciting through a man on her
right. The event happens in the restaurant during being a dinner between Mrs.
Parker and a man on her left. There are three characters are mentioned in this
story. Mrs. Parker is a narrator which is marked by the first monologue in the
narration, “I knew it” said her. The narrator always shows of herself because
she has a dialogue with the man on her left.
The
man sits next to Mrs. Parker with a bored talking. She feels boring cause of
sitting with a dull man. Fortunately she could cover her bad mood by talking
the man on her right. All of she can see is only his shoulder. It seems a nice
shoulder for Mrs. Parker. The narrator used a monologue as sarcasm toward the man on her left. She made a dialogue with the
man by talking the other man, who sits next to a woman on the right of.
Sarcasm: Mrs. Parker always
focused on her right though only the shoulder appeared. She started talking him
when every foods had came over his table. The narrator asks about everything
had happened to the man on her right through man on her left. All of dialogue
which refers to her right made a death sentences for the man on her left. The
man likes a fish and she does too (Mrs. Parker). But there’s something makes
her wonder to like in that man. The man has been engaged in that event. That’s
at all, the way to resist the man’s offer, the man who is on her left. Then
Mrs. Parker met him in the party nightly. In the ending story Mrs. Parker got
out the party with the man on her right.
This
story has a similarity with “Very Short Story” in the ending of the story,
based on my point of view. According to the narration of this story, Luz has a
patient who has a job out of the country. The patient is an army who stay in
the hospital. He really needed hospitality from Luz as a nurse. Both of them
love each others. Luz wished that she can be married with him. So he agreed to
marry her after the armistice. He would be back absolutely. Unfortunately Luz
never received a massage. Luz wrote a later for him but there’s no an answer to
the letter to Chicago. Finally the man didn’t marry her; he certainly had
married another woman.
The
narration in “Very short story” is similar to the ending of both stories. The
point in this story “But The One On The Right” is all of the possibilities will
absolutely happen if we have a master plan before step to decision and
judgment. And then the man whom Mrs. Parker loves is on her right not on her
left.
