The short story "I Want to Know Why" by Sherwood Anderson is written from the perspective of a young country boy. The boy had a passion for horses. He dreamed about racing and he knew all about people who were involved in it.
The boy was presented in the story as innocent and a lad who idealized the subject of his passion. The relationship between one of his idols - a man and a "bad woman" overturned his attitude to life. He wants to know why (look to the title of the story).
The story presents the thoughts of a young boy, the author deliberately simplified the text according to the main character. The question used in the title and life's changes people have - is the area for discussion.
Here is the link to the text of the story:
