A detailed Summary of edies life

In the story "How I Met My Husband" by Alice Munro, I looked at the element of the narrator. In this story the narrator wasn't hard to spot like some other stories. Edie tells the story through insights on her feelings, how she describes others in the story, and her romances.

Throughout the story Edie experienced many different feelings from things that made her feel good to things that made her feel horrible. She tells us that she loved being left alone in the house, to do her work when she felt like it. In this paragraph she also said how she loved the lighting in the kitchen and she loved the double sink. Then she compares it to her life before at home and tells about the rag-plugged hole or an oil cloth-covered table by light of a coal-oil lamp (p.725). With this little bit of information, we know that work at the Peebles is a lot easier than at home.

We find out later on in the story that Edie is accused of being intimate with Chris. Edie had her own opinion on what the thought being intimate with someone meant. She thought it was kissing. This shows Edie's immaturity and the fact that she didn't totally understand relationships. This is another way of setting insight with out h

In conclusion, we know through insights to Edie's feelings, her description of others in the story, and her romance with Chris and Mr. Carmichael that she was with out a doubt the narrator/main character. This paper should help you to uncover the narrative/main character in this story.

Next, we turn to Edie's description of others in the story first we'll look at opinion that Edie had on Loretta Bird. Edie tells us Mrs. Bird has a drinking problem." Then she goes on to say she could of slapped her an she never put down fruit in her life, meaning she never can fruit. Edie says that Loretta would talk about the Peebles and ask if they fight or if they keep things in their dresser drawer not to my babies with and how it was a sin "(724).

Finally, we'll focus on her romance life. At the first of the story Edie didn't have any experience in love or relationships. That's doesn't mean she did know what sex or kissing was, for instance, when she's talking to Mrs. Bird. Mrs. Bird asked her if she kept things in their dresser drawer not to make babies with. (724) Edie responses were acting like she didn't know what she was talking about, but she really did (p.734). She knew but never experienced a romantic fling until Chris. Chris opened her up in a sense kind of broken her in. I think that helps things later
