The Swimmer

   This short story is really good and creative because it's a really good argument what Cheever wrote. I really liked it because it was crazy the idea of swimming every pool and how things, people and everything that Neddy knows went crap! This story really entertained me a lot and also kind of scares me because it's strange imagine who would it be swim and suddenly in the same day everything goes down! "Looking overhead he saw that the stars had come out, but why should he seem to see Andromeda, Cepheus, and Cassiopeia? What had become of the constellations of midsummer? He began to cry." What's that? that's really crazy and at that time Neddy was completely nuts. That is what I liked about this story the intensity makes you keep reading! and then at the end how much time did he pass swimming?   " He shouted, pounded on the door, tried to force it with his shoulder, and then, looking in at the windows, saw that the place was empty." We'll never know but I'm really satifies with this story. I think that Cheever felt identify with this story because he had a lot of problems of all kind including alcoholics problems in his life and in this short story he presents a lot of problems, but for that they write and I think the problems of the authors make  the best stories.
