"He had a shaggy, shabby black hair that looked crazy as a wig" I consider this might be the frame of man of his age. Although I don't like his look and especially the shabby hairstyle. Men should be clean and gentle, gleeing and attracting girls with low and charming voice.

"I'll come inside you where it's all secret and you'll give in to me and you'll love me." shows his direct intension to invade little Connie. He is such rude man and has no romantic temperament. Besides, his words of the text are very strange and lack of grammatical usage. He might be a poor-educated person fooling around all day.

3. The flies in the stories appeared when Arnold asked Connie out. Flies seemed around Connie's mind when she was told to be out for a ride. I think that she is willing to get out of the house, but she was afraid that her parents would come back earlier than herself and that she would be out with two strange unfamiliar men. She was kind of worried but , as a teenager, her mind has been going out of the door.

4. According to the story line, I think Connie is going to the imaginary world where she is able to accomplish her goals and nobody will deter her from persuading the freedom of sexuality. She wants to release the great pressure that her family gave her and escape from the comparison with her sister. More independent about her life, she wants to control things around her.

5. We can find fairy tales like "Rapunzel", "Swan Lake", and "Cupid and Psyche" in the story. Those talks about the journey to save the princess. I thinks that Connie regards herself as a princess and wishes her prince charming to save her from her tasteless, boring life. She wants them to be the heroes and bravely destroy the moral restrictions. She wouldn't like to be the princess in the tower, but hopes the prince to complete her desire of sexuality.

6. The story is about a girl called Connie who long for love and freedom of sexuality like most of teenagers. She was often contrasted with her sister, no matter how pretty she thought she really is. One morning, when her family went barbecue party, she chose to stay home and started to daydream. Then, she countered two strange men and was asked out. Although his look fit her mind, but finally did she find that they are demons. After invaded by Arnold, she seemed to come to where she wanted.
