Document Summary
To facilitate the comparison, a chart comparing alfredo and olmo based on this definition is appended: everything is material and that change takes place through the struggle of opposites. " . The first contrast, or struggle of opposites presented is the evident opposition of the upper class and lower class. When the boys are shown older, alfredo is dressed in proper, clean attire, whereas olmo is dressed in dirty, old looking clothes. Alfredo"s clothes are new, and well kept, in contrast to olmo"s, which are old, probably second hand, and tattered. Olmo is seen in the river, in the dirty water up to his legs, and he is catching frogs and stringing them onto his hat. Alfredo, however, stays out of the river and watches olmo while talking to the young girl. This seen shows how olmo gets so dirty, and alfredo stays clean.
