The Summer People Character Analysis
The genre of fantasy in many cases can lead to characters being thrown into a new world where new obligations are required like the transition into adult life. An example of this is evident throughout the entirety of “The Summer People” with a reoccurring theme of debt. Fran is enslaved by the summer people forever unless she can find a suitable replacement. The story reads, “Fran was straightening up her and her daddy's mess when the summer people let her know they needed a few things” (Link 26 ). With the help of fantasy characters such as the summer people, Fran is experiencing a part of life that is familiar to adults. In the duration of one's adult life, there are always new responsibilities and challenges that he/she encounters. Kelly
