    Reader Response One: Responding to “My Father’s Life‚” by Raymond Carver The last paragraph of this essay is my favorite by far‚ “…in their beautiful voices out of my childhood. Raymond.” The author of this story made it so tangible the dislike Raymond Jr. had for his birth name that it felt like a true revelation when the character finally embraced it. To hear his father’s name echo as his own name and to enjoy it leaves the reader with the same sense of happiness. The author of this essay

    Popular Mechanics by Raymond Carver starts out with symbolism. “Early that day the weather turned and the snow was melting into dirty water.. Cars slushed by on the street outsider‚ where it was getting dark. But it was getting dark on the inside too.” With these few opening sentences‚ you can immediately tell that something “dark” is going to take place in the story.
