Barry was a bully from Peter’s school. He wasn’t violent and he didn’t look strong. He was just an ordinary boy. Since Peter knew him he knew Barry always got what he wanted because if he didn’t someone would end up in pain. Barry’s birthday was coming up and about 15 of his friends were invited to his birthday. Barry invited Peter who didn’t want to come but since their parents were friends Peter was told to go because it would be nice of him and so Peter ended up at the bully’s birthday. He realized Barry wasn’t mean at home as he was at school. He had a teddy bear in his bed, helped his mother do the dishes and other house chores. Peter asked how come such bully could pretend to be a normal and a good boy during his party. He played with all the boys. Peter asked himself the same question even three weeks after the party.

Creative thinking is another function of daydreaming associated with increased creativity. [6] The frequency of daydreaming is the highest during undemanding and easy tasks. [7] It is hypothesized that daydreaming plays an important role in generating creative problem-solving processes. [4] Studies have also found that intentional daydreaming is more effective when focused on creative thought processing, rather than spontaneous or disruptive daydreams. [5]According to several studies, daydreaming appears to be the brain's default setting when no other external task is occupying its attention. A group of regions in the brain called the default mode network is lit up only when the brain is left in a sort of ‘idle’ state. These areas of the brain light up in sequence only when daydreaming.

He compares it to First Love, Last Rites (1975), McEwan's first collection of short stories, because they both contain exciting, frightening, and loose worlds.

It turned out he was a scientist. He saw the med student and felt butterflies in his stomach. The two of them walked to a meadow near a railway tunnel. There they kissed. The next day Peter woke up in his own body. He realized that the grownups had their pleasures but he disliked them for now. He was glad to be an adult for a while.
