Crisis Analysis of Plot
before giving it up for some other. It succeeded with all of us. I walked only two days, Claude walked two—both of afraid to make
Millet celebrated too close to home—but Carl walked only half a day, the bright, conscienceless rascal, and after that he traveled
like a duke
.
Now, it will surprise you to know what an easy and comfortable thing we had. I walked two days before I began
business. Then I began to sketch a villa in the outskirts of a
big town.” p 8 This part was the climax of the story; it is the high point of the
story, where culminations of events create the peak of the conflict. The author tried to show the problem in this short story by showing the
struggle of their life to sell the picture and make sure the buyer to buy it with a high price. This is very the difficult moment because it is not easy
to make sure someone that don’t know who is Francois Millet is. so here is the time when they were gone abroad over Franc to sell the picture. They
find so many troubles on the way to sell the picture out of France. Each of them brought a dozen of Millet’s pictures to sell. Smith walked 2 days
before he began the business, firstly he sketched a villa in the outskirts of a big town, he worked swiftly, intending to keep the man who stood on
upper the veranda interested on him, and finally the man came down to look on, he spoke with enthusiasm and said that he was a master. and the
painter put down his brush and reached into his satchel, fetched out Millet, and point to the chipper in the corner, the painter tried to made the man
trusted him and recognized what the painter ought to know his trade to the man, and it made the man looked guilty embarrassed and silent. This is
also the process in the climax, Carl’s journey to sell Millet’s picture and met someone who interested of the picture.
I saw the proprietor standing on an upper veranda. He came down to look on—I thought he would. I worked swiftly, intending to keep
him interested. Occasionally he fired off a little ejaculation of approbation, and by-and-by he spoke up with enthusiasm, and said
I was a master ‘I put down my brush, reached into my satchel, fetched out Millet,
and pointed to the cipher in the corner. I said, proudly: ‘”I suppose you recognize that? Well, he taught me I should think
I ought to know my trade” ‘The man looked guiltily embarrassed, and was silent. I said
sorrowfully: ‘”You don’t mean to intimate that you don’t know the cipher of
Francois Millet” ‘Of course he didn’t know that cipher; but he was the grate fullest
man you ever saw, just the same, for being let out of an uncomfortable place on such easy terms. He said:
‘”No Why, it is Millet’s, sure enough I don’t know what I could have been thinking of. Of course I recognize it now.”p. 8
As the author want to share one of the crisis is on this part when the painter face to face with the buyer who don’t know Millet and of
course the man didn’t know who is Millet, but he wanted to buy it, and the painter explained to him that he got eight thousand francs for that little
thing and the painter wish to get it back for eighty thousand but it was and he the painter also forget about it he made a very nice picture of that
man’s house and he wanted to offer it to him for ten thousand francs but he thought that he just the pupil of such a master so he sold it to him for a
thousand and he sent the eight hundred francs to Millet and struck out again next day.
‘Next, he wanted to buy it; but I said that although I wasn’t rich I wasn’t that poor. However, at last, I let him have it for eight
hundred francs.’ ‘Eight hundred’
‘Yes. Millet would have sold it for a pork chop. Yes, I got eight hundred francs for that little thing. I wish I could get it back for
eighty thousand. But that time’s gone by. I made a very nice picture of that man’s house and I wanted to offer it to him for ten
francs, but that wouldn’t answer, seeing I was the pupil of such a master, so I sold it to him for a hundred. I sent the eight hundred
francs straight to Millet from that town and struck out again next day.p.8
The climax also in the part when the old man bought the picture even thought he didn’t thought he wasn’t a rich man but he also wasn’t
that poor, however the painter let him to have it for eight hundred Francs. It made them shocked because it was just a little thing for them that
shouldn’t be so expensive, after some while, the painter made very nice picture of that old man and asked him for ten francs. But he the old man
didn’t want to buy it, so the painter sold it for him for a hundred. And he continues his journey for the next day.
