It is insensitive to assume that a woman wearing a

Grant was very tough and courageous‚ raised from in the western frontier. He was a man who held his head up high‚ looked towards the future‚ and was determined to follow through with his ideas of a “new” American life.

John Updike’s development of characters and his use of diction and imagery are great elements that make this story entertaining
