Big Things Come In Small Wages Analysis
In the short story, “Big Things Come In Small Packages” written by Eleanor Tate, Richard is the person who actually deserves the credit for saving Tucker and Mr. Nibbles. The author demonstrates this when Tucker is drowning, “Richard yelled, “Let’s push and pull it, Tugboat! Push and pull it in!” Also, Tucker noted that “Richard snatched that guy straight out of the water” (Tate 9).

It may look like Tucker is the hero, though the real man of courage is Richard. Richard tries to motivate Tucker when they pull Mr. Nibbles together onto the surfboard
