Writing Response #1

"The Far and the Near" by Thomas Wolfe is not just a story about a nameless train 

engineer. It is a story about almost everyone, which makes it a story with a universal theme. 

How is it that most readers can understand and relate to the train engineer, regardless of 

their own profession? What is it that Wolfe is (really) writing about? What point is Wolfe 

making about life?
