After reading this short story "A Shocking Accident" by Graham Greene, I think it is so interesting because of an unbelievable shocking accident. It is worth my time writing this for the sake of my own memory.
A nine year old Jerome was called by his headmaster one day for a shocking accident. The headmaster found this very hard to tell Jerome about his father’s death. Jerome had believed that rather than a traveling writer, his father was involved in some sorts of dangerous adventures or a member of the British Secret Service. The headmaster described the accident to Jerome awkwardly as he himself found the accident unbelievable and inexplicable. While Jerome’s father was traveling in Naples, Italy in the poor quarters, a pig falling from the fifth floor from a balcony because it had grown too fat hit him and broke his neck (Greene described this part humorously; I cannot help laughing as well) . What Jerome expected was far different from the actual accident and he seemed confused and unable to think properly except one question “What happened to the pig?”
