Piri got jumped by Italians and they got dirt in his eye. The kids who jumped him felt bad, so they took him home. Piri's eyes were burning and he couldn't see. Piri's father rushed him to the hospital. The doctor put a bunch of bandages on Piri's face. Piri asked his father for some roller skates, and he agreed to get them for him. One literary element I noticed was plot.

After playing baseball. Piri decides to take a bath. His brother comes in and bothers him and Piri tells him "get the fuck out of here", and his brother mimics him. Piri's mom yells at him, but not at his brother. When Piri's dad comes in, he realizes that his father gives him a different type of love, than he does to his other siblings. One literary element I've noticed was characterization.
