I hope that they two will love openly each other if Homer comes next summer. That is what David Updike wanted his audience to feel even he didn’t show it in his story “Summer”. The audience feel something like upset or pity on them because they didn’t do like that.

Feeling of love inside Homer and Sandra is so mild.

After reading this story, I feel that Homer will never stop loving Sandra. It’s sure that Homer would have to go back one day and if they love each other openly, it’ll be very difficult to part. But the author ‘David Updike’ didn’t mentioned about it.

Eventually, after reading the story of “Summer”, I feel that Homer and Sandra extremely love each other and, they feel the true love even they didn’t kiss and say a word ‘I love you’ till the end of the story.
