“The Meet”, by Madelyn Srin, is a story about doing the right thing whether you win or lose. The protagonist is Ariel, and Maria is the antagonist . The rising action happens when Maria is feeling very upset because she has lost her lucky pink swim cap. Ariel finds the cap under the bleachers, this is the climax.

The conflict is Ariel holding swim cap thinking what to do. She knows she did not return the swim cap Maria would not compete. She would have to make a chose between cheating and playing fairly. Mood: Ariel is jealous and angry to learn her competitor is going to be at the meet after all, at the beginning at the story.

The theme in this story is you don't need to be jealous, be friendly and you always listen to dad even they did not win or lose.
