Disruptive Neighbors - “Next Door”
The narrator explains, “Now they’re all going at once over there, plus they’ve got the stereo turned on full blast. One of those bands. 'It's the baby I feel sorry for,' I say. My wife puts her hands over her ears. 'I can't stand another minute of it,' she says. She takes her hands away." The narrator's neighbors are a nuisance based on the noise which the cause at night. It is palpable that their disruption in habitual because the narrator's wife begins the story with "They're at it again." The narrator and his wife cannot concentrate on the lives because the neighbors are bothersome. Accordingly, the neighbors' marriage is not absolutely peaceful.
Hunting - “Hunters in the Snow”
Wolff writes, “They started off across the field. Tub had trouble getting through the fences…They hunted for over two hours and saw no deer, no tracks, no sign. Finally they stopped by the creek to eat. Kenny had several slices of pizza and a couple of candy bars: Frank had a sandwich, an apple, two carrots, and a square of chocolate; Tub ate one hard-boiled egg and a stick of celery.” The story is basically about hunting in the winter which is not categorically smooth. Evidently, the deers too have disappeared because of the weather conditions. As a result, the hunting expedition translates into an exploration and navigation of snow.
