The telephone rang and it was Ellie who’s in her bed lying, and hearing the phone
rang, she eventually jumped on her room. She still lying and listening to the telephone as still
rang again. As time flies, maybe one of the girls answered the telephone, because she doesn’t
hear it anymore, she doesn’t hear rang again. Then one of the girls were in rapid movement,
heading to Ellie’s room. And she hear the doors creaked, she rapidly close her eyes, she feel
the hot air releasing on her cheeks as one of her daughter went to her room. It’s Sara.

On that day also, its Ellie’s birthday, she’s turning thirty-four years old, and she
didn’t know that the girls has plan for her birthday. When she got up on her bed, she suddenly
noticed that she was changing, her attitudes change and she became more matured. After a
long conversation, Ellie wants to go outside and she asked the girls if they want to go to their
grandma’s house, and she will dropped off the three of them. All of them were getting ready.
After a half hour, they’re all ready and Ellie drove them in her mother house and dropped
them by. After dropping the girls, she drove around the Oklahoma where she saw a signage
with writings “80 ACRES + HOUSE” with a phone number and the name of the owner “W.

in the house and when she dialed the phone number, someone answered the phone call, it’s a
girl who answered the phone call, Ellie rapidly asked the girl where Mr. Wolcott was, but the
girl said he’s not there, instead she said he can find him in the Wolcott Machine Shop across
the street. Ellie hurriedly went there. As she went there she saw one of the two wide garage
doors of the large steel building stood open. Her heart beat widely as she stood in the front of
machine shop. Walking inside the shop, she saw a two welder men, and he asked one of them
if who’s Mr .Wolcott, the welder man replied, Mr. Wolcott was not there he’s taking his

lunch, after that he said that maybe Mr. Wolcott is in the café. She asked where the café is
and he asked what he’s appearance, the welder said he’s a tall feller wearing bright red cap
with Wolcott Machine Shop on front of it.

Ellie hurriedly drove to the said café, which is the Last Chance Café. Last Chance
Café was printed in red, gold-edged lettering, western style, across the plate-glass window.
As she arrived at the café, she’s nervous and has a perspiration between on her breast,
suddenly she saw a tall man stepped on the door of the café wearing a red cap with Wolcott
Machine Shop printed on it. He asked the tall guy if he is Mr. Wolcott, but the tall guy
refused, he said he is not Mr. Wolcott, perhaps, he inclined his head toward the café and said
Mr. Wolcott was on the side of the café. Ellie stood and looked for the café. To the far right
was a long lunch counter with stools, most of them were taken. And at that moment she
noticed there had to be at least eight bright red ball caps. Three of them, she saw
immediately, with the name Wolcott Machine Shop emblazoned across the front.

in a strange town, seeking a man whom she didn’t know and hadn’t the slightest idea what he
looked like. She, Ellie McGrew, her mother would be flabbergasted. Finally, after a long
search, she finally found Mr. Wolcott, she rapidly grabbed the opportunity to talk to Mr.

C. Climax

After talking to Mr. Wolcott, Ellie decided to go home, she drove her truck. The girls are
getting ready to surprise their mother. Ellie entering their house, the girls surprise her and Ellie
was flabbergasted what the girls did, together with girls, inside the house was her mom and dad.
Her mom asked her where the world she was! She said she was out where, she also says that she
bought a house and the argument start off. She, her mom and dad are arguing about Ellie's action.
After a long argument, her mom and dad finally got home, and they're starting to packed up all
the things they've been used. On that night also, before the argument, she told to her daughters
that she bought a new house far away from their rented house, actually it's an hour distance in
their house. The two girls were exited and Sara was not happy about that, because she's leaving
the house and her friend also. Her mom and dad didn't want to Ellie moved on a house, far from
her rented house, maybe the two of them are overprotected to her and the girls. Early morning
they decided to move to the new house. They packed all their things appliances, etc. Coming over
to the house was quite difficult, since they were starting off, and Ellie has a less money to have. A
few weeks later the house eventually getting nicer, the walls are newly painted, but there’s no air
condition, so they have a problem sleeping at night because it was too hot to sleep.

Ellie has a bright idea, she went off outside to find a new job. She'd been to many places
but one company hired her. It was in the Last Chance Café. Going there was not easy because
Wade was there, every time he sees wade, her heart keep on beating, as fast as cheetah, as loud as
the roar of the lion. Gayla the manager of the Last Chance Café talked to her. After a long
discussion of things, Gayla offered Ellie as a waitress there, since she doesn't have any work at
all, Gayla gave her own schedule and she starting off on that day also. After a restless afternoon,
she went home to have her break, and will be back on dinner at the café. Ellie has a plan. She
want to have her own barn. To have some animals on her land. But the major problems is where
she can get the money to buy those animals that she want.

Months passed by, she and wade were getting better, there are somehow a mutual
understanding between the two of them. They're knowing each other. And she executed a lot of
 CENTRAL COLLEGES OF THE PHILIPPINES
HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DIVISION
13

hard work for her salaries. Eventually her wages are getting bigger, that she can provide her own
farm animals. She bought cattle, goats and other animals, even Rae's horse. She's starting off to
be at the middle class. After a week, she met a guy named Andrew Lutz, this guy admires Ellie
the most. Andrew has a hidden agenda to Ellie, he want to know Ellie, her attributes and attitudes.
After meeting Andrew Lutz, there's a tension between Wade and Andrew. Andrew start liking
Ellie and Wade doesn't want that! Ellie met Andrew at the café. After a few weeks, Ellie and
Andrew are starting to be real friends, but seems Wade doesn't want what Andrew's intention and
action to her. Will Wade win Ellie's heart?
.

D. Falling Action

Few weeks later, Last chance café will conduct a spring blowout, and everyone is invited,
employees, customers and some of wade's friends, and of course Ellie is invited, since wade start
to court her. Ellie's parents know about them, at first they're against with them, but love was
powerful, so her parents agreed to court Ellie first. Weeks flies so fast, before the spring blowout,
Ellie and Gayla talked about who will going to be their date on that night. Gayla said she was
going with her admirer Dal Allen, they have a lot of conversation, suddenly Gayla asked who will
be her date on that night, Ellie's says it would probably the girls, but Gayla suggested Wade, since
wade is a single man and Wade doesn't have any date at all. The day there all waiting for, it’s The
Spring Blowout. Everyone was there, even Ellie's daughters. Ellie was sitting and Andrew
hurriedly went to Ellie's place and asked her to dance, but Ellie refuses, because she doesn't dance
at all, eventually Wade saw it and in hurry, he went also to Ellie's place and asked her again, but
instead of accepting the request of two of them, she eventually refuses and stood up and asked the
two to eat up over the foods on the table. After a restless night of party, all of them gradually
going low and tiredness seen on their faces, Ellie and girls went home and sleep all night.

After a few months, Ellie and Wade's closeness are getting heavy and heavier, then each
one of them went on their house, Rae and Poppy still going on Wade's house. After a few weeks,
Maryann, Sara's friend invites her to the slumber party, it's a half hour below the hill. It's already
 CENTRAL COLLEGES OF THE PHILIPPINES
HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DIVISION

night and Wade is heading home, as he drove the car she notices a girl walking on a lightless
street, he opened his headlight and he guessed that was Sara. As he drove the car towards the girl,
his guessed was true it was Sara. She rapidly asked her to get on the car and talked about what
happened. After a short discussion, Wade dropped her to Maryann's.

It's a night full of happiness, Wade visited Ellie on their house, together with the girl their
shared happiness and a night full of stories. Wade asked the girl if it's okay to talk with Ellie at
the barn, the girls approved it. Ellie and Wade shared stories. After a long conversation, Wade
and Ellie stood up, Wade pull Ellie and romance were around on the barn. He touches Ellie's
cheek and ask her to marry but Ellie refuses to his proposal, because Ellie cared about Sara's
feelings. And the romance around them rapidly change into nonsense argument. Wade walked out
bringing his pride and Ellie as well.

E. Denouement

Ellie and Wade maybe got split up because of that argument. Times flies, Ellie didn’t saw
any presence of Wade, in his house and even in the café. Maybe Ellie missing Wade’s hanging
out with her, the way Wade talk to her. After that, it’s already afternoon and Sara thinking up if
she will says to her mom what she did about Maryann’s slumber party. After a long thinking
process, Sara decided to tell her mom all of it, Sara’s mindset was all set-up, and she’s starting to
like Wade, because Wade protect her the way her father did. Sara urgently came to her mother
and tell everything what she did, and Ellie met her expectations, she was in a state of shock. After
that conversation, Ellie rapidly changed her dress and she want to go at Wade’s house to tell
everything, to say sorry what she did. In hurry, Ellie tell to her daughters that if she needing her
there the telephone number of Wade in the kitchen. Sara, did her actions well, while Ellie rapidly
walking towards Wade’s residence, Sara called Wade and says what her mother’s actions. Wade,
in hurry eventually open the door and he went to Ellie’s way. The two of them met all their body
and give their own apologies. After a long apologies, Wade ask Ellie again if she wants to marry
him, Ellie nodded, Wade asked about Sara, and Ellie says that it’s okay to Sara if the two of them

A month later, tomorrow is Ellie and Wade’s wedding, everyone’s getting ready, even
her daughters, even Sara who organizes some of her mom’s wedding plan. It’s already night, but
still Sara keep on checking the plans on her mom’s wedding, for her it is also the nice day to all
of them. Ellie waiting to Wade coming to her room, but when Wade opened Ellie’s door, he
refuses to sleep beside Ellie, instead he want to sleep on his house. Wade wants a nice and well
rest night. Ellie accept it and nodded. Instead of locking herself to the room Ellie went to her
daughter’s room and waited for them to get sleep well.

It’s the day, Ellie and Wade’s wedding, all of the visitors are getting ready at church.
Finally the long wait is over. All watches the two changing their promises, their vows. It so
seeing them at church giving their wills and promises. After the wedding, the reception of it is in
Wade’s business, which of course the Last Chance Café, where it all began. After a long day, the
two of them planned on having their honey moon at Dallas. Wade’s accept all of Ellie’s flaws
even her daughters, and Wade wants also a child with Ellie, of course he want it to be a boy.

VI. Theme

The theme of the entire story entitled Last Chance Café authored by Curtiss Ann Matlock
was all about independency of a mother, romance and to love again.

First is independency of a mother, I put it there, because the main character was a
widowed woman who has a three daughter, she raised them all by herself and gave them a nice
living. Second is romance, I also put it, because the character, herself has an admirer, two
admirer, but the first one she picked and loved the most. Lastly is to love again, always gave
another chance to love again, because if loving again makes you happy and make your heart
fluttered the go for it. These are the themes of the story that I was read.

VII. Motifs
 CENTRAL COLLEGES OF THE PHILIPPINES
HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DIVISION
16

In this book, I read, I didn’t saw any motif of it. I don’t know why the author didn’t put
any motifs, but putting some motif will ensure the story more remarkable and noticeable where
the story fall off.

VIII. Symbols

Here are some of symbolism written on the book:

1. Womanly fragrance (Chapter Eight)

- In the story womanly fragrance doesn’t define there as a fragrance that
woman has. Thus, it explains the motherhood of a woman and scent of her
being a nice lady.

2. Ray of sunshine (Chapter Eight)

- It’s not define as a ray of sunshine toward us or on the ground. Perhaps, it
defines as the everyday happiness and joy that Poppy has, her smile makes
them happy also, and it also defines her personality as a jolly person.

3. Wall between them (Chapter Eight)

- It’s not a literal wall between them. It was an imaginary wall dividing Ellie
and Wade. An invisible wall.
4. Dose of her own often-given medicine (Chapter Fifteen)
- It’s not literally her daily dose of medicine. Instead, it symbolizes as the
lessons that Ellie receive from her child Sara, when Sara gave her a lesson on
life.
5. Exploding star (Chapter Sixteen)
- It is not a real star who will explode immediately. Thus, it symbolizes the joy
that Wade has, the joy that will going to burst immediately, when he saw
Ellie.

IX. Remarkable Lines

1. “And I don’t believe I’m behaving irresponsibly. I’m being quite opposite, I’m
being responsible for myself and the girls for the first time in five years.” – Eleanor
“Ellie” McGrew (Chapter Three)

2. “And I’ve changed. I see no reason why I have to let the dream go. I know it won’t

good.” – Eleanor “Ellie” McGrew (Chapter Three)

3. “Ellie give credit for knowing something. I may not be the same as your precious

girls.” – Wade Wolcott (Chapter Fifteen)

4. “If I knew he loved her the way I do you. I’m not playing around, Ellie. I’m willing

the second woman in my life that I’ve said as much to.” – Wade Wolcott (Chapter
Fifteen)

5. “And you’re acting in a way we never brought you to be---irresponsible, headstrong

Mom (Chapter Three

X. Conclusions

After reading the entire novel, I can proudly say that this is beautiful, because it has a
great story, and a great connection in real life. You can see the hardships of a single-mom raising
 CENTRAL COLLEGES OF THE PHILIPPINES
HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DIVISION
18

her daughters, because for me being a single mom is a tough job. This novel also has a big impact
to me, I’m not a bookworm but reading this novel makes my belief changed, I love the way the
author wrote this kind of novel. It also changed my perceptions on single mom, they strengthen
my beliefs that being a single-mom is not an easy job. I also liked what the attitudes that the
character has, she was a strong, independent woman and she can do all things for her children, I
like also her positivity in life her independency and loving to her daughters and her new husband.

In addition, I also admired what the author put in her novel, the clarity, relativity and
creativity that it has. I am proudly recommending it to all the people, especially the single-mom
out there. Try to read the story, it so beautiful, blood, sweat and tears were putted in the book.
And, you can picked a lot of lessons here and you might relate to it since I’m recommending it to
single-moms. I’m sure you really appreciate this story, because I appreciated it well the essence
of it.

I have a few comments about the book. First is the vocabulary words, I have noticed that
there are words that is much difficult to understand, because it was so deep, try to lessen the
deeper word as much as possible. Last is, try to put some cover picture to every chapter, it will
nicely presentable if there’s a visual aids to know what will happened to the chapter it
corresponds, I think it will make your book entertaining. That’s only my comments.
