This story is about a man named George that lived in a pink house and his son Elias friends and how they felt with George around. The story is told by one of Elias friends and he tell us in the story that he was afraid of George, of how he acted and what he did every time he saw him pass by the front of his house. He used to say bad things about the kids and used to scare them. Elias friend also told us in the story that George wasn’t physically a scary man but how he acted scared him. Also that George didn’t do any type of work around the house he used to leave everything to his wife including the yards work and he only sat on the porch of the yard to watch the people pass by. When his wife died he cried and started drinking a lot, his son Elias disappeared without his friends knowing, and all of the house shores were done by his daughter Dolly. He tried to get a new wife to make the shores around the house but he finally couldn’t and then because he felt in a way sorry for Dolly made her marry a man named Razor and Dolly after that disappeared. George after Dolly getting married, got really alone and died soon and some of the people that new him buried him.
This story is really interesting because it is named “George and the Pink house” and I thought it was going to be a happy story but instead it was kind of sad and cruel. It talked about this man that was cruel to almost everybody and his house wasn’t a pretty pink house it was instead all damaged and scary. It also talked about how cruelly he treated his
wife as a domestic house cleaner and how when his wife died started treating his daughter the same. George was a bad man and treated everyone in a bad way. This story can be related to domestic violence or abuse because of George and how he treated his family, friend and the people of his neighborhood. In the story it wasn’t clearly presented the domestic abuse and it didn’t show George hurting physically someone. But domestic abuse isn’t only hurting physically a person it can be also abusing verbally a person or forcing them to do things that they don’t want constantly, like making someone clean everything without any type of help or payment. George can be accused of domestic abuse verbally and also because he forced his wife to do the shores. In the story he used to offend the narrator calling him names like “horse face”. So this story indirectly talked to us about our reality that is that in life some people can experience problems like domestic abuse and we don’t even know. For me this story was cruel and bad because of this man named George that was a bad person and also because it wasn’t what I expected.
