He is insulted and kills a man as a result, he must flee for his life, and it is this flight that is the substance of the story. Briefly, Pepé Torres rides into Monterey, California, to do an errand for his mother. In the story "Flight," young Pepé Torres' manhood also depends on his dealing with death, but in this story, Steinbeck focuses upon the impending death of Pepé himself during a tense and harrowing chase. In “Flight,” Steinbeck writes about a young boy and his initiation into manhood, but this time Steinbeck does not give us the leisurely developed, many-situation structured narratives that composed the stories in The Red Pony. In those stories, young Jody Tiflin learned the values of happiness and despair of adulthood because of his witnessing the deaths of two horses (which he passionately loved) and by his hearing the philosophies and wisdom of two old men (Jody's grandfather and a Mexican peasant).
