1. The narrator portrayed the peahen by showing how concentrated she was on watching the trash compactor and the interaction between himself and the peahen. He shaped the behavior of the peahen so vividly that we could even imagine her facial expression and feelings when she sidled over a step or two to let the narrator watch the light.
2. Dexter used a humorous and ironic way to describe what had happened. He characterized his tractor as something uncontrolled and seemed to have his own will that he had to pull the lever that strangled it rather than merely turned a key to finally kill the engine.
3. I think there are three conflicts in this essay. The first conflict is between Dexter and the peahen. The second one is between Dexter and the tractor and the third conflict is between peahen and the tractor.
4. The narrator revealed the truth in the last paragraph to make a dramatic effect to impress the reader who didn’t expect such ending. After Dexter turned off the red light of the trash compactor, the peahen started to make a terrible scream. In that very moment, Dexter realized that the noise wasn’t from his tractor, but was from the peahen. Thus, it is very clear that all he had to do was get that peahen out off his garage as a successful resolution.
5. Since the narrative is talking about the man misunderstood things by judging them with his first impression, I think the moral will be “Don’t jump to conclusions too quickly before you truly understand it.”
