He seems to have the courage to ask his dad certain things, not fearing the consequences. At the end of the story, the language Sarty uses becomes clearer and more independent. As he runs from the deSpain's house, like a child, he cries for Abner saying, "Pap! Pap!"(154), but when he stops and recalls the event, he says, like an adult, "Father! Father!"(154). He shows his development through these examples of ...

The distance in the relationship of the narrator and her husband is portrayed in the necessity for two beds (Kennedy et al. 425). Bechelard goes so far as to say that the house can be seen as a small version of the world and the social problems that burden it (Twentieth 110). Upon close scrutiny of the setting and small detail that the narrator relates, one begins to ...
