I red Raymond Carvers wrote short story, Why Honey? It tells about mother and son who live together without father. Mother started suppose, that all what her son tells her is lie. For example, when mother found bloody shirt in her son’s car she thought, that son has killed someone. The truth was that son has a bad nasal bleeding and he used the shirt to shut up the spillover.
If I was the son, I would get upset of mothers accusations, because I would feel that mother don’t trust me at all. Some of the accusations of mother reasons are a little far-fetched, for example in the same nasal bleeding case. Who mother thinks first in that kind of situation that own son has murdered someone or something else horrible? Doesn’t usually start to find realistic explanations for what happened? In short story mother told son’s makings in sinister tone. Why on earth? Who wants to put their own child into the notorious light? I think that just only crazies and paranoids.
In the final paragraph the narrator told, how she wanted someone to know all the happened things. She told that she is very ashamed. She also told that she wanted to know how someone got her name and knew where to write. The narrator had been praying that no one knows. In my opinion the final paragraph is the most unclear to understand. I think that the narrator afraid the person who got the narrators name and address where to write. I think that the person could be the narrators son, but why she afraid her own son?
I like this short story because in my opinion it is quite strange and different than other what I had read. The story gives the reader the opportunity to imagine happenings and everyone will be able to create a story their own imaginations.
