The first impression that I got from the reading is that this is a very weird story. It starts out with the guy going to a strange old ladies house and making awkward conversation with her, later marrying her deaf daughter, abandoning her at a restaurant and finally picking up a hitchhiker who jumps out of his car.
I think that more than anything the story represents the author's writing style. The author's dark writing style is reflected in the darkness and absurdity of the story. The author has this guy marry this girl with a life that is a just good enough life ahead of them, somewhat of a fairytale ending, then the author screws all of it up almost to frustrate the reader. She has the man dump the girl then leave and makes a bizarre ending.
Finally, the author has the main character pick up this kid and start the process of putting him on the right track and teaching him a life lesson when the kid jumps out of the car, abandoning him and the story ends. My overall feeling of the story was that it was dark and odd.

Yeah, I definetly would agree with that. That story was messed up.
I think in a way that it is messed up. But not only that but theres a reason he did what he did. I think that when he picked up the boy that the boy represented him and his life with the girl. If he would have stayed he would have everything he wanted (house, car, wife). Then again the author makes it seem that he wants this but in reality he doesn't want this at all. Thats why the boy jumps out.
That is very true. I thought this story was odd as well. It didn't really explain anything to good.
Also the story had some wierd twists and turns that probably didn't need to happen; such as, dropping the deaf girl off.
In the end I completely agree with you on this story.
I never really looked at it this way, but now that you point it out, you're totally right, and I agree. Good post!
I also thought that the story was weird and strange and who the author wrote it, made it that much more dark. It was very different then any other story I had read with all the twists and darkness to story that just had me being like what the heck is going on with this story and the characters. So I definietly agree with you.
