What is the summary of 'All the Years of Her Life' by Edward Morley Callaghan?

"All the Years of Her Life" by Edward Morley Callaghan is a short story that explores themes of family dynamics, self-awareness, and the passage of time. The story follows a young man named Alfred who is caught stealing from his employer by his former high school teacher, Mr. Carr. Through their interaction, Alfred is forced to confront his actions and the impact they have on his mother, who has sacrificed so much for him. Ultimately, the story highlights the complexities of relationships and the consequences of one's choices.


What is the conflict of All the Years of Her Life by Morley Callaghan?

"It is my feeling that the conflict is between Mr. Carr and Mrs. Higgins in making a decision on whether to call the cops or let Mrs. Higgins handle the situation with Alfred." I disagree with the answer above. Mrs. Higgins approaches Mr. Carr to ask him to allow her to handle the discipline of Alfred at home. She approaches him in a "genial" manner, and he is immediately won over by her kind demeanor. The initial conflict, which is actually part of the exposition of the story, is between Mr. Carr and Alfred, because Alfred has stolen from Mr. Carr. The principal conflict, however, is between Alfred and his mother. This becomes evident as they leave the drug store and she tells him not to talk to her when he begins to promise not to get into such trouble again. The resolution of the story occurs at the end of the story when Alfred has the opportunity to observe his mother without her knowledge. He notices her age for the first time, and sees her hand trembling. It is at this point that he realizes the devastatingly effects his past behaviors have had on his aging mother, and how worried about him she really is.
