Please use the text to answer the following questions:

1)Describe what you consider you be the story's main idea.

2) Consider the attitude of the speaker toward his home as indicated in the first paragraph. Why do you think the speaker uses the word "blind"  to describe the dead end street? What relationship exists between the speaker's pain at the end of the story to the ideas in the 1st paragraph?
