Short Stories Unit 1

How I Met My Husband
Personal Reaction

This story teaches a very important lesson. Sometimes the tragedies in our lives can lead to better things. Chris Watters represents temptation and sinning, something which seems good and fun but actually will lead to pain. Carmichael the mailman is like a blessing. It may be right in front of you, but you don't see it until the sin is gone. Had Edie received a letter from Chris, I believe her love for him would have intensified., and she would not have been able to give the mailman a chance. Chris wouldn't have settled down just for her, and who knows if she would have found true love at all. But she did because she gave up on the idea of ever being with Chris.
