Exposition: Captain Torres comes into a barber shop to get a shave. Torres is a person who kills those that are part of the revolution and the barber is a rebel.

Rising Action: The barber thinks about killing Captain Torres to avenge those Torres has killed. He is secretly part of the revolution but he is also a conscientious barber.

Climax: The barber thinks of how other will think of him-a coward or a hero. He also thinks about what he would do with the body anf what he should do afterwards-stay or run away.

Falling action: The barber decides not to kill Captain Torres because he is not a murderer; he is only a barber and doesn't want to re responsible for another person's death. Torres only came for a shave, so that what he's going to give him.

Resolution: Captain Torres tells the barber he came to find out if he would kill him. He tells the barber that it's not easy to kill and now he knows how it feels. Torres pays for the shave and leaves.
