Talking about the narrative compositional form I should say it's a narration with the elements of description. The narrator tells about the man he knew. It's remarkable that the story begins like a narrator's meditation about joys of sunny days and then it reminds him about the events he met in the past. It is where the actual story begins. And the actual story from the point of view of presentation is the 3d person narration which is limited omnisceint and objective.

The conflict described in the story is an external one. The main character, the blind man, is opposed to the society he lives in. I can't say that he struggles against it, he is a helpless blind man who lives with his sister and her husband and absolutely depends on them. In the society in which he lives everybody treats him as a beggar and an "infirm of their species".  

The plot of the story has all the parts of a usual structure of a text. Exposition gives us the pre-story of the main character and describes the events that led him to the point described. The rising actions are marked by vivid tension that is seen through the stages of treatment of the blind man. At the beginning people just played jokes on him, but later they became more cruel and inventive in their brutality. The climax of the story describes the worst stage of their treatment of the blind man - they sent him in winter at severe frost to the road to solicit alms - and that led to the man's death. The climax is followed by an anticlimax. I can't say that the reader can be satisfied with the end of the story, moreover it makes him upsetm but at the same time gives food for thought.
