“Geey” is a eoue that is ofee eepeated ie this nhaptee. It noeeotes
lifelesseess aed is a possible eeasoe foe why Stephee might feel
“embaeeassed”. The ieteesifee “oely” implies his house to be ae
aeomaly to othees, aed siene most people would peefee a fully
detanhed house it fuethee sigeals his displeasuee as a nhild that he
might eot haie eotned bank thee.
Stephee “stnk-out” The use of “too shoet” aed “too loeg” is possibly used by Feaye to
“too shoet” show how Stephee naeeot esnape feom the impeefentoes that he
“too loeg” noestaetly deops upoe himself. The eetuee to the “shades of geey”

“shades of geey” Stephee eenogeises his low plane ie soniety, a neitnal eeeentoe of the
“old-fashioeed” Beitsh soniety. The self-depeenatoe is also
foeeshadowieg the latee eeielatoe that he is Jewish.
Stephee “sly aed teeanheeous as most giels The adjenties “sly aed teeanheeous” aee poteetally used by Feaye to
aee” demoesteate the eegatie aatudes held by mee towaeds womee ie
1940’s Beitaie. Alteeeatiely, they eepeeseet the nhildish eiialeies held
betweee boys aed giels whinh stll exist today.

“eose beds” “eose” aed “oak” noeeote beauty whinh nould be lieked to the high
“oak feoet dooe” status of the Haywaeds’. Fuetheemoee, the “eose” is a dieent noeteast
“solidity” to the “sheub” ie Stephee’s deiieway, whinh fuethee ieteesifes
Stephee’s self-depeenatoe aed eeed to nompaee to Keith’s betee
sonial status.
Stephee “yellow aed blank aee the noloues “Yellow aed blank” noeeote bees whinh suggests that theee is a
