The iron, in "Agua Viva", represents the reality in which the main character, Alfredo Gonzalez lives. Alfredo is involved with the iron most of the time, having mountains of iron parts and iron "junk" scattered through his house; His body, full of iron dust and grease shows us that iron is part of his appearance; We get to know that collecting, counting, cataloging and working with iron was the only thing he did, for many years long. The iron, in the end, <u>is the only thing Alfredo had</u>.
Through the history we get to know that Alfredo, who is a lonely man among the iron, had a son and a family in the past, but we don't know where they are (Maybe even he doesn't know). Alfredo has gone to a institution, probably a mental institution, and since being released, he has lived like that, with the <u>iron as his only "partner"</u>.
After being in <u>contact with another material</u> (the clod the boys have thrown at him) it seems like Alfredo is now in <u>contact with another reality</u>, and finally looks himself in the mirror, seeing only iron in him and in his house and in his life. That is a point of change in his life, it seems to be, when he accepts the help of the neighbor.

Explanation:
I still remember that dark and gloomy night. it was raining heavily outside. As I was scared to sleep alone in my room, my mother stayed with me till I fell asleep.
Then suddenly a strange noise woke me up. I found myself alone in the room. I gathered courage and opened my eyes to look through the window. The only thing I saw was a strange shadow dancing near my window with its eyes wide open. I started screaming with fear.
My parents came running to my room and found me crying. When they asked me, I told them about the strange noise and the shadow.
After listening to my story, my father looked out the window and started laughing. He hugged me and holding my hands brought me near the window. I was still very scared to look through the window.
Gathering courage, I opened my eyes and looked. What I saw, made me laugh too. It was the old tree outside my window. Its branches were making the noise because of the strong winds outside, and its leaves were forming the dancing shadows. As for the eyes, they belonged to an owl sitting on the tree!
I felt very foolish. I promised my parents that I would be braver and stronger in future.
