PLOT

The story is dedicated to the difficulty, importance and joy of being a parent. The plot includes shot exposition, which describes solitary life of Mamzelle Aurlie; development of events (the neighbours request to watch the children for some time and Mamzelle's attempts to become good at it). Climax, to my mind, is ommited (the moment when the mother takes her kids back), and the storytelling continues with the anticlimax, describing Aurlie's frustration and pain at the realization that her life could be different with her own children, whom noone would ever take away from her. To my mind, the message is that being a parent is one of the greatest thing in life, and we should think how each of our decisions will affect us in future.

From the point of view of the presentation this is 3rd person narrative, thought we can notice that the storyteller is not detached and is sympathetics to the main character. The story is mainly presented as the narration with some elements of description and dialogues.
