The Third Level

Ans. The third level refers to the subway (Under Ground Railway Station) of the grand central station that takes passenger to Galesburg.

Ans. No, Charley would never go back to the ticket counter on the third level to buy tickets to Galesburg for himself and his wife because third level was his imagination.

Ans. Yes, I think the third level was a medium of escape for Charley. He was living in a Hi-Fi Modern city where live was full of stress. He used to miss the peaceful place where his grandfather lived. The third level was mere his imagination.

Ans. In fact there was no letter from Sam. Sam was just a very good and close friend of Charley. As we know that Charley was living in a Hi-Fi Modern city where life was full of stress. He used to miss the peaceful place where his grandfather lived. Even this letter was mere a part of his imagination.

Ans. The modern world is full of insecurity, war, fear, worry and stress. The ways in which we attempt to overcome them are as follows:

• We try to spend time with our family and loved ones to reduce stress
• Some people go for meditation for peace.
• Sound sleeps also help in leading stress free life
• Taking a break from regular life and going on trips help people to overcome anxiety.

Ans. Yes, we see an Intersection of Time and space in the story.

At first we see that in present there were only two levels of Grand Central station but there was third level in the past (1890s).

Charley and his wife Louisa live in present yet we find that Charley rushes to get old currency to buy two tickets of Galesburg of 1894.
