Answer 48

The Strangers That Came to Town, by Ambrose Flack, is a short narrative story narrated from the point of view, Andy, describing the problems of a foreign family, the Duvitches. The protagonist, Andy, didn't feel most of the conflict the Duvitches experienced but he saw how they were treated. The antagonists hadn't given the new family a chance so they saw the Duvitches as useless, poor, disrespected people. When the Duvitches first came the community was against them. They were poor and meek unlike the rest of the town. Andy becomes really involved with the outsiders after he poisons the mess of their fish. The moral at the end of their story is to not judge a person (or people in this case) without getting to know them. The protagonist is Andy, and his view of the conflict between the community and the Duvitches is how he recognizes how they are being treated.
“Even the tradesmen to whom the Duvitches gave good money were either curt with them or downright rude. Mrs. Frithjof Kinsella, the proprietor of the general store and a big jolly Viking who could be heard two blocks away, extended credit to almost everybody in town and had a way of insulting her customers so heartily that they all loved her for it. The Duvitches, however, Mrs. Kinsella very carefully did not insult (a form of insult in itself) and neither did she extend them credit.”
This quote also describes how most of the community acted towards the Duvitches. The main conflict was the actions of the town’s peoples’ and how the Duvitches responded.
