Yes they did. The stroy arrages chronogically by when Buddy was young his parent encouraged him to go study and years passed his parents died and he becomes a professor.
3. How is the story narrated? Are flashback, summaries, stories within the story used?
The story is the way that the theme of family love was expressed. The writer does not make family love seem natural and effortless. Rather, the narrator gets closest to the truth by expressing how love between families takes effort and understanding. In the story, understanding and love is not all felicity. When Buddy is a child, Charley, doing the best he can do to fix Buddy’s stutter, hit him with a dish rag. Later in the climax of the story, Buddy struggles to understand why Charley took the bag of pie away. However, when Buddy understands, he bursts with emotion. But it is not because he thinks Charley’s actions are perfect and consider Charley’s reasoning to be logically flawless; it is because Buddy understands not just Charley’s words and actions but his true intentions. As such, the writer does not present a picture-perfect, idealistic family. Rather, the theme of family love is explored in a way that is close to reality yet is very moving.
