Bird 1 Jessica Bird Professor Abrera English Composition II 1302-20013 30 September 2013 ?When You Live a Long Way Out...? Annie Proulx takes an intimate look at the Wyoming frontier in her collection of short stories entitled ?Close Range: Wyoming Stories?. One short story included in that collection is titled ?55 Miles to the Gas Pump?; the setting descriptions, characterizations, and writing style highlighted in this story contribute to the theme that isolation can drive a person crazy. The tale involves a couple, Mr. and Mrs. Croom, who live in the outskirts of Wyoming. One day, Mrs. Croom makes a haunting discovery about Mr. Croom while he is not home. What she finds reveals that the seclusion Mr. Croom lives in has a destructive effect on his behavior.
