“Everybody liked him. He was a big man at the school." Well this is a sentence we all would love someone to say about us after we died. And that is exactly what Arthur’s friend said about him. But was if Arthur was not feeling very good? Hiding something big that he was afraid to tell anyone? And I can tell you, he was hiding something. The short story “Now there is peace” is about Arthur’s life and how his nearest cope with his dead. The short story is fiction and was written by the American author Richard Sherman. It was published in the Vanity Fair collection in 1933.
The story takes place in the U.S., which we know since Arthur played American Football, but more precisely in Arthur’s parents’, Mr. and Mrs. Bentham, home. Their home has leather furniture and fireplaces which indicates a rich and high-status family. In the beginning of the story the house is light, and the snow has just started falling. Approximately halfway through the story the room gets darker and the snow was thicker. The lightening follows feelings in the room. Martin wants to leave after he could not tell Mr. and Mrs. Bentham what they wanted to know.
