This part of the story (15-19)deepens Klara’s role as an observer. She and Rosa sit in the store window, absorbing sunlight and watching the outside world. While Rosa stays cheerful and focuses on simple things, Klara notices small details—the color of buildings, people’s faces, and children’s mixed emotions. Some kids stare at them sadly, which Klara questions. Manager explains these children might feel lonely or unable to afford an AF, hinting at social divides.
Klara’s curiosity and sensitivity make her stand out. She cares not just about being chosen but about understanding the world. Her excitement over seeing the city’s details contrasts with Rosa’s indifference, showing their different personalities. When Josie, a pale, slow-moving girl, appears outside, it feels important—maybe she’ll change Klara’s life.
The story quietly explores themes like loneliness, inequality, and the desire to belong. |
