A Cap for Steve 3 Pages 757 Words

In "Steve's upper limit", Dave showed that it is a common struggle to maintain family life in the economy. He tried to balance the basic human life in the form of residences, clothes and food, while not compromising the relationship with his son. His financial thought is a struggle against his love for his son. After all, Dave is trying to protect by looking after his son, but seems not to know how to effectively do this. It was obvious from the beginning that Dave was not a wealthy person, and the author explained how he is "earning all dollars at home" (252). In addition to that, he is the only income source in the family to increase the burden. Because "[h] is a sick wife, Anna ..." (252). Under these conditions, the author gives readers sympathy for Dave's position, but the family's internal fiscal use is strict and rigorous, but there is not enough justification. The first example of Dave's test in his struggle was the request of his son Steve to participate in Philadelphia games. As expected, the first response was Dave 's passive reaction. But by insisting, Dave eventually agreed that Steve helped to shelve the kitchen. Here Dave began to show more sympathy and respected the relationship in monetary security with his son. "When they started, Steve was high and embarrassed, so they were walking along the street like a stranger, and Dave caught a glimpse of Steve's face, pulling his arms more pleasantly" ( 253)). Dave, contrary to his typical money-centered mindset, realized that Steve might be too tough and open. Dave kept fighting after his son got a baseball cap. He doubts this value

Even if it is too big for him in the next few days, Steve is rarely wearing a hat. Inevitably, Steve's parents were tired of all the fuss about Steve and his friends. One evening, Steve came home from the park where he played baseball soon. When he finally arrived, he miserably explained that he was constantly looking for a hat he had to stolen. Dave was angry with Steve. Because he did not understand how the boy would lose something very important to him. Steve explained that he was not careless, but he put his hat in the back pocket. He believes that someone has to accept it from there. He told Steve that he lost his cap just because he did not know his worth properly. Every night Steve went back to the park to find a hat.

The upper limit of this short story symbolizes Steve's hope and ambition. Steve likes to play baseball in the park. This is a hat given to him by a professional baseball player who plays for the Philadelphia major league baseball team. It is a connection with a larger world and has more glory and devotion than himself. When you wear a hat, you will begin to dream like a professional baseball player. Overall, in this short story, we believe that money can not bring you a real dream, but it can buy a mistaken happiness. Steve's fantasy is always with him, with or without a baseball cap. Hats are mere symbols symbolizing Steve's hope, and wearing a hat makes me happy. He will have the same dream someday in the future, regardless of whether he has a ceiling, he will succeed.
