Why I Live at the P.O.

Many times, we feel that our family is opposed to us, no one else is concerned about us. We feel that families, especially other brothers and sisters, have prejudice and preference. In most cases, our own immaturity or perplexity leads us to these conclusions. In addition, when neglecting others for selfish reasons, or choosing to see things only from our point of view, we will usually crave our family. Eudora Welty's "Why do I live in PO", the hero's sisters can not go beyond her own point of view, and make her unreliable and verify the credibility of the events around her can not understand

"Why do I live in PO" EUDORA WELTY (1940) "Why do I live in PO?" Perhaps the most famous and shortest story of EUDORA WELTY. This story was first published in the Atlantic Ocean (1940) and appeared in her first short story collection "The Curtain of the Green and Other Stories" the following year. This humorous and dramatic monologue is full of natural rhythms and idioms in the southern speech (see DIALECT), and COMEDY is further strengthened by the eccentric behavior described by the sister's eyes. My sister was in trouble when her jealous sister, Stella Rondo broke up with the man stole from his sister and returned to the Chinese forest.

"Why am I living in PO?" I am in China Grove, Mississippi. Sister is a narrator, Stella Rondo (older sister), Papadady (sister's grandfather), Mama (sister's mother), Uncle Ronde, Stella Rondo's two-year old daughter, Shir-ley-T. And (dubious) Old Jep Patterson, a dying woman. At the beginning of her sister's monologue, most readers tend to share their ridiculous views of the family. My sister's main strategy is to show how wrong their words are. Stellarond, Shirley T. Mama, Papa-Daddy, Uncle Rondo are all brand names that have euphemisms, euphemisms and fashion items. Therefore, she fulfills a sophisticated, well-traveled beauty full of polite humility and dramatic martyrdom.

In "Why do I live in P.O", the viewpoint dominates the master and the sister of the narrator. The important difference between this story and the traditional first person stories (such as Welti's "memories") is that the sisters' stories are spreading in words. Welti has established a fictional story, and her sister's story form was a long, continuous speech. This story imitates the verbal story altogether. Keeping the rare story structure of the story, I think that the low reliability of my sister is mainly the result of her uniqueness and content becoming disjointed. The style of the story is very realistic, but the characters and the events are obviously collapsing with irrational edges. In order to analyze this contrast, we consider this method of Welti to create the illusion of life in printmaking, since it is this concept that we are not in contact with the strange content of her story is needed.
