Explanation:
"Japanese Quince" tells the story of Mr. Nilson a hardworking man who has become so used to his job that enjoying his environment now seems strange. He gets up one day only to feel a sensation. He decides to have breakfast and take a look at new story headlines. This is an indication of his inclinations to business. To calm his tensed feelings, and get some air, he takes a walk but soon finds out that his tensed feelings and sensations remained unabated. Then he sees a Japanese Quince tree, and although he is excited to see it thriving, he is carried away by awkward thoughts of his neighbor who is also taking in the scenery. Finally, he goes back to his apartment only for the weird sensation to return.
The conflict with nature or the environment produces a strange feeling on Mr. Nilson thus making him consumed with thoughts instead of just enjoying the beautiful sights.
