"The First Seven Years" response

After reading this story I was definitely shocked with how it ended. I enjoyed the amusement of Miriam's father Feld trying to get her and the boy together when that isn't the fathers place. I also liked the ending because it gave the story a twist and it also allowed the whole story to come together. It let us know why Sobel was such a trustworthy hard worker and why he was upset after Feld talked to the boy. The author also left me wondering if Miriam and Sobel would end up together.
