Based on the short story that I had learned, the character that I dislike the most is the narrator. What I dislike about the character of the narrator is he is a negative person. From the story, I had learned that he felt so jealous and envy toward Richard and Philips because his mother keep comparing himself with them. Regarding to this, he stole Mrs. Morphit's purse and put the blame on Richard and Philips. This is an action that cannot be as examplary. If I was the narrator, of course I will take as a challenge in my life when my mother keep comparing me with others by behave in a proper way and make something that can make my parents proud of myself. Besides, I dislike the narrator because he is an unfriendly person. Eventhough he is a volleyball player but he never made some friends. Thus, he is a quite person. 

That is all from me.
