The story is told from the point of view of the narrator. Whatever the narrator sees and hears is what is written on the page and you know nothing that the narrator doesn't know.
I would suggest working on the flow of the paper. As its a first draft the most important thing is rereading everything and making sure the voice and the diction stays constant through out the essay.
All of the context around the story radiates off of the central focus of the mouse. The mouse runs away but the narrator is still looking for an explanation. Why did the mouse leave? Is it something I did? How will he survive? How could he just leave!? These are all questions the narrator asks himself and the questions range from worried to angry. The mouse running away also raises questions within him as to whether he can care for a mouse let alone a child.
The major conflict in this story is whether or not to keep the mouse when he finds it in free parking. Once that decision was made all other consequences of that action, such as letting a mouse loose in your apartment, stem from that one decision/conflict.
The writer does use anecdotes most notably in the conversation with the stranger who's car he was trying to wedge Goodyear out from under.
