Reunion

Britton Stotler 3-8-03 In the short story Reunion, by John Cheever, there exists a complex relationship between a boy named Charlie and his father. Cheever shows this relationship through a number of stylistic devices, as well as the overall tone of the story. This story is told through the eyes of Charlie, who describes the last time he had seen his father. In the beginning of the story, Charlie is looking forward to meeting his father who he has not seen in three year since his parents got divorced. Through Charlie’s language we are led to believe that he is nervous about the meeting. “He was a stranger to me”, shows that Charlie is anxious and possibly apprehensive about his upcoming meeting with his father. “But as soon as I saw him I felt he was my father,” this statement implies that Charlie still views the man, who he has not seen in three years, as his father and that his feelings of apprehension have gone. Charlie’s father, who is never given a name during the story, forms the image in the reader’s mind of wealthy business man.
