Wishes
A wish is a longing or desire for something, often something that is difficult to obtain or achieve.
When used as a verb, wish is usually followed by a that-clause. If you wish that something was the case, you would like it to be the case, though you know it is unlikely or impossible. Note that a past tense, rather than a present tense, is used in the that-clause after wish to express a desire for the future. For example, you do not say "I wish I live nearer London". You say "I wish I lived nearer London". However, you can use hope in this way as "I hope you like this village".
What's more, wish can be used with a to-infinitive or two objects. For instance, you can say "I don't wish to waste our time" or "I wish you a pleasant journey".
Regrets
Regret is used to say that someone feels sadness or disappointment about something that has happened, or about something they had done. More formal than "be sorry", regret is not normally used in conversation but in formal letters and announcement to make apology. When giving others some bad news, you can begin by saying "I'm sorry to tell you...". In a formal letter, you say "I regret to tell you...". You either regret something or doing something. You can also use a that-clause after regret.
Useful Expressions
You may express wishes like this:
I want to be an actress.
I hope you like this village.
I hope / wish to see you again.
I wish I were younger.
What if you could ski?
If only I could stay for another day.
Best wishes for your holiday.
Have a good time on the sea.
Please give my best wishes to Sally.
Please remember me to your wife.
Say hello to Joe.
Please give my love / kindest regards to your grandpa.
Best of luck with your driving test.
I wish you every possible happiness.
May I wish you luck in writing your book.
Keep your fingers crossed and hope it doesn't rain tonight.
You may express wishes and regrets like this:
I should have visited the Great Wall when in Beijing.
I do wish that I'd waited at the second crossing.
I immediately regretted my decision.
I'm sorry about last night.

Main Idea
This text is written in a style called "stream of consciousness", or "interior monologue", in which a character's inner thoughts, impressions, and memories are dictated as if directly overheard without the obvious interruption of a summarizing and selecting narrator. Such a style emphasizes the unbroken record or continuous flow of a character's sense-perceptions, thoughts, feeling and memories by abandoning strict logic, syntax and punctuation. In this text, the girl's thoughts and feelings are expressed exactly as they pass through her mind rather than being ordered in a way that usually appears in novels. The first-person narrator "I" not only presents the girl's tension and emotion in a vivid, realistic way but also encourages the readers to share the girl's worry and concern. The use of short, choppy sentences also contributes to describing the girl's restlessness.
