A lot of what he says is sort of matter-of-fact and it is very strange. William receives a suicide note from his wife to which he walks out of his house to round up people to check the lake. The character emotions of the story are very strange from the introduction.
THE WIDE NET EUDORA WELTY FULL
Much of the story is highly descriptive of the physical realm and if anything she tends to avoid full description of each characters emotions. Welty's style is very interesting in that she doesn't try to focus too much on one dynamic. It's as if his wife was very often hysterical and this letter may have not been the first. To begin, the introduction is quite strange in how William Wallace reacts to his wife's suicide note. I was very relieved by the ending to the story of The Wide Net. How do you understand the story’s conclusion? When William encounters Hazel, what are her first words to him, and what do you make of them? Why do you think he allows the men to use his wide net and participates in the search?

The blogs on my list are primarily family and friends, plus a few that I just like to follow. On weekends, if you see a small army out on the trail, don't panic. I also write for and serve on the editorial committee of the Res Ipsa Loquitur, the official publication of the Kern County Bar Association. I play violin with the Bakersfield Symphony Orchestra, as I have since 1996. On a typical evening, you might find our seven noses buried in books. We still fit in the kitchen, but are running out of room in the library. When we married, my wife and I agreed to share the kitchen and the library.
