Event 4

This event is about the Trade Mart that Matty goes to experience. Before he goes to the Trade Mart, he talks to Seer about going there. Seer refuses and refuses, until Matty says that he will not trade and he will only listen. Now, the text says, "No wonder Seer didn't want me to come, Matty thought as he approached. It doesn't feel right." (Lowry, chap 7). In the text it also says, "None of them brought any goods to trade." (Lowry, chap 7). The first quote shows what Matty's reaction to the Trad Mart when he first gets there. The second is about what Matty notices when he is waiting for it to start, no  one brought anything to trade. This is important because it is even closer to the climax and the conflict has progressed drastically. With Matty noticing his surroundings and telling Seer about it, they will get closer to the cause of the conflict bit by bit.
