Brief Summary of Seth’s Story:
Seth weaves a tale of a terribly dysfunctional family struggling with social issues in the Deep South where tolerance of these issues is limited. It is the story of a boy raised by a father who is suppressing his homosexuality , and a mother who is an alcoholic and promiscuous as a result of a loveless marriage. It is a somewhat irreverent, tongue-in-cheek, account of the stereotypes within these characterizations,and how they can become the fatal flaws that lead to the demise of the mother as well as the family unit.
Comments:
Enjoyed reading your story, the setting and phrasing you used, especially the exclamations by the reverend. It was thought provoking and had a lot going on. Liked the quirkiness of the characters and description in the beginning of Charles Sr. Please reference comments in the text.
Would like to know more about when (era, year, time) the story took place. Why did Charles Sr. need to keep his homosexuality”hushed” and was Charles Jr. of an age where he could understand the concept of homosexuality? Sometimes got a little lost as to which “Charles” was being referenced. Maybe just add the Jr. or Sr. to clear that up.
Overall, an enjoyable read.
Thanks,
Claudia Blaize
