- introduction : The introduction shows a man who is on vacation in Jamaica and decides to lounge on the pool deck.
- conflict: In a sense the conflict is Man vs. Man because the fact that it was a bet between two men. However you can also say it was Man vs. Himself because the Man from the south had been struggle with a clear problem if he had cut off 47 fingers and lost 11 cars. Also Man vs. Himself because the american boy needs to chose whether a car is really worth chopping his finger off.
- rising action: This is when the bet is being made and when the boy feels taunted by the first offer he didnt take. "He was sitting there very still, and it was obvious that a small tension was beginning to build up inside him."
- climax: The climax is when the boy is lighting the lighter and as every time he lights the tension builds."Three!" "Four!" "Five!" "Six!" "Seven!" "I watched the thumb snapping the top down onto the flame. Then a pause. Then the thumb raising the top once more. This was an all-thumb operation. The thumb did everything. I took a breath, ready to say eight. The thumb flicked the wheel"
- falling action: The falling action is when the lady comes in and takes Carlos by surprise, because the tension is gone. We all turned and we saw a woman standing in the doorway, a small, black-haired woman, rather old, who stood there for about two seconds then rushed forward shouting, "Carlos! Carlos!" She grabbed his wrist, took the chopper from him, threw it on the bed,
- denouement: when the girl comes in and stops carlos and then grabs the keys and sees that her fingers are cutt off.

2) Characters
- protagonist: The protagonist would be the sailor, because he is the person against the opposing force; Carlos
- antagonist: The antagonist would be the man from the south who made the bet; Carlos
- static: The british girl does not really change, throughout the story and still has the same opinion of the bet being a ridiculous idea.
- round (complex with many characteristics)
- flat : The simple character would be the man we were first introduced to. We don't know his name or anything about him and he still feels the same about the old man, he basically keeps his perspective the same.
- stock character: would be the sailor I feel like he is a stereotypical character because he comes off nice, and willing to take a challenge, and when he turns it down it bothers him like it would bother any other 20 something year old guys who would turn down a bet for a car.
- dynamic/round: the antagonist carlos wears a nice white suit, a panama hat and smoke cigars he seems like a very rich man, but at the end you discover he has no cars to bet on, and they are there because of all the bets he made.

6) Foreshadowing: This line foreshadows that the man may be up to something " I must say I didn't much like the way he was behaving. It seemed he was already trying to make something out of this, and to embarrass the boy, and at the same time I had the feeling he was relishing a private little secret all his own."
