But did her mother guess anyway? She would wonder that, years later. And did she blame the girl?
For she reserved for the girl a strictness she never applied to her siblings, and a critical tartness of manner that made the girl feel constantly stupid and dashed.
Though she didn't like to admit it to herself, she didn't want to think she was unloved.
Fifteen years old, she sat on her mother's bed beside her mother as she got ready to go to a function, her mother patting her own hair in the mirror, taking up her bangles and asking, Which one?
The girl was flattered to be asked and chose with care, a deep blue and a turquoise to go with the colours in her mother's kaftan, and her mother, pleased with the choice, drew them onto her wrist.
An intimate moment, for which the girl was glad. But does her mother guess anyway? She will wonder that, years later. And does she blame the girl?

Three different stories, three different people. All similar on one point, they all have the fear of having no purpose in life.
The short story “Kiss” by Elizabeth Baines, touches themes like fear and love in a story which is current and for some relatable.
The genre features of the short story are that it starts in medias res, which creates tension and excitement from the very start.
We follow the three main characters backgrounds in the flashbacks, which leads to the open ending at the tube station.
This analytical essay is based on an account of the characters, their differences and similarities. It will contain an analyzation of the composition and how it affects the story and the reader.
Finally, will there be a discussion of the themes and message in the story and how these are shown in the characters and composition.
