Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

"How would you like to learn how to play it?" he asked. He must have read my face because before I could answer, he added; "I'll teach you how to play it during the lunch hours."

That day I could hardly wait to get home to tell Papa and Mama the great news. As I got off the bus, my little brothers and sisters ran up to meet me. They were yelling and screaming. I thought they were happy to see me, but when I opened the door to our shack, I saw that everything we owned was neatly packed in cardboard boxes.

In at least 150 words, analyze this excerpt from the The Circuit. Explain the meaning of the text in terms of what is stated explicitly, as well as what is implied. How does this ending affect the overall plot and themes of the story?

    The narrative is between an adult and child and is set up in playground. The child feels left out as he sees others (kids) playing. He is hesitant not because he is shy but because he is doesn't know how to play (implied). The adult understands the hesitation and the reason behind it, without the kid having to spell it out and offers to teach him the game (explicit). The boy is thrilled by this and wants to share it with his parents. His enthusiasm is short lived when he reaches home and realizes that the family is moving.
