Response to Alice Munro's "An Ounce of Cure"

I thought that this story was very slow at the beginning and I didn’t really get into it until at conflict started which was disappointingly about three fourths into the story. Part of the reason it was slow is because the main conflict of drinking was only really mentioned once at the very beginning of the story. This made the story seem like it had no plot. However, when the conflict started I really enjoyed reading it. I also realized that I liked the writing style of Munro because of the way she uses the main character to narrate a lot more then characters actually talking.
