Spaghetti

After reading the short story Spaghetti, I realize that the main
character, Gabriel, has a really intense imagination.

First, I read through the lens of word choice lens for words
that prove he has an intense imagination. The story has phrases  
like “he saw himself,” ”thought about things seriously and so
fully.” This shows that Gabriel is almost like he's in
La-la land most of the time. He is always dreaming about
something different.

I also started thinking that what he was imagining, he must be
imagining really hard. I found that he was dreaming about

sleeping among the coyotes. This is proof that he is picturing
himself doing something else. Also, he was dreaming about
sleeping beneath the glittering lights of a movie theater near

the bus stop. My final piece of  evidence that supports that he
imagines things intensely is that he was imagining so hard he
nearly missed a cry from the streets. Usually, a person would

hear a cry and feel nervous, but he almost missed it because he

was so lost in thought.

Gabriel has a unique imagination. It is unique because he

dreams about such different things than other people and is

in his own world a lot.
