The Skating Party

In the story, The Skating Party by Merna Summers, Uncle Nathan had made a hastened choice of saving Delia instead of Eunice. What Uncle Nathan should have done was saved Eunice because Uncle Nathan was betrothed to Eunice, Delia was already married, and that he made his decision in haste which caused him to make the wrong decision. Firstly Uncle Nathan was engaged to Eunice. He said, “it seemed to me that she might be easier to get along with in the long run”, so he knew that Eunice would have been better to get along with than if it were Delia. Delia, however, was already married to Dobson and Uncle Nathan knew that. Uncle Nathan did fall for Delia but seemed to have gotten over her after he found out about her marriage

    Moving from one place to another at such a young age is bound to leave some trauma, then I would like to account the abuse that took place in the family, with beatings from a overly strict father, sexual abuse from a mother; someone that is supposed to protect and nurture, then the mental abuse that left young Nathan sad and confused.
