The study adopts qualitative approach since the data are in words or statement. The result of the study shows that the contrasts between the dreams and facts confronted by the two characters in the story, Zhivan, the ring leader and Lazar Zelenovic, the platoon commander, are evidently portrayed and contribute to the excitement of reading the story.
