What is the significance of the afternoon that Anders does remember? Whatdo the final words, They is, symbolize for him?

What will be an ideal response?



  • At the start of Orson Welles’s classic 1941 film Citizen Kane, newspaper mogul Charles Foster Kane dies with the word “Rosebud” on his lips; in the film’s final sequence, we, unlike the reporters investigating the matter, learn that Rosebud was the name of the sled he had as a little boy. We could call Anders’s final recollection a Rosebud moment, for he too dies recalling a time when he was still young, innocent, and uncorrupted, at the furthest possible remove from the sneering cynic he has become: “He wants to hear Coyle’s cousin repeat what he’s just said, but he knows better than to ask. The others will think he’s being a jerk, ragging the kid for his grammar. But that isn’t it, not at all—it’s that Anders is strangely roused, elated, by those final two words, their pure unexpectedness and their music. He takes the field in a trance, repeating them to himself.”
