this story’s main character is Joe who was an aspiring artist. When he was 6 y/o, his first painting was hung at the drug store. Now, at age 20, he is headed to New York to study art, where he meets someone named Delia.They fall in love and are married soon after. Joe enrolls in an expensive class with a famous Magister, and Delia studies under Rosenstock. Everything seemed to be fine until the savings starts to run out. They both were ready to sacrifice their goals for their partner.
i think this story is a great example of how love drives two people to sacrifice their ambitions for the sake of each other. Art is what brought Joe and Delia together in the first place when they fell in love. They loved each other’s passion for art. They both wanted each other to achieve the individual goals they had set for themselves.
