This is a very interesting story. It’s talking about the writer when her family first moved to North Carolina, they lived in a rented house, and they were offen moved to another house, so writer could not get many friends around her living place. She thought she just living short period in each place, so it’s hard to have a lot of chance or enthusiasm to meet or make new friends. As writer said “short journey would hardly merit tears, or even goodbyes, for that matter.” Then weiter wanted to looking other building’s window find some interesting and excited thing from others house. However, for the most part her neighbors just like sat in their living rooms, watching telvision.
She found the only place that seemed truly different was owned by a man named, Mr Tomkey, who did not believe in telvision. It lets me think about myself, when I was very young, in my family, most people like to watching TV after work or dinner, my classmate like that too, but I am not very interesting in watch telvision, more like to stay alone.
In this story, Mr Tomkey showed a different and very interesting actions or behavior with his family, such as “During the meal, Mr. Tomkey would occasionally pound the table and point at his children with a fork, but the moment he finished everyone would start laughing.” Living without bored TV maybe is a more interesting life style.
