The Synopsis of the Short Story

one of these. Partially to disguise him I will call him Smith. One day, in the Hotel des Anglais, at the second breakfast, he exclaimed: Quick Cast your eye on the man going out at the door. Take in every detail of him. Why? Do you know who he is? Yes. He spent several days here before you came. He is an old, retired, and very rich silk manufacturer from Lyons, they say, and I guess he is alone in the world, for he always looks sad and dreamy, and doesnt talk with anybody. His name is Theophile Magnan. A long time ago I was a young artist--a very young artist, in fact-- and I wandered about the country parts of France, sketching here and sketching there, and was presently joined by a couple of darling young Frenchmen who were at the same kind of thing that I was doing. We were as happy as we were poor, or as poor as we were happy--phrase it to suit yourself. Claude Frere and Carl Boulanger--these are the names of those boys; dear, dear fellows, and the sunniest spirits that ever laughed at poverty and had a noble good time in all weathers. At last we ran hard aground in a Breton village, and an artist as poor as ourselves took us in and literally saved us from starving-- Francois Millet-- p.1 From the part of story above, the author introduces the character of Claude Frere, Carl Boulanger, Smith and Francois Millet and also tell about the setting or place showed in the beginning of the story.

The reason why the writer chose this part as the exposition is because in the dialogue showed the introduction of character and setting of the story. For the character showed when the author tried to introduces some painters in the story by telling their name first but didn’t explain about their characteristic. And setting showed when the author open the story by explain to the reader where they are at that time.
