the swimmer

In the story John Cheever shows the characters post World War II as being wealthy. It shows them having parties with caters and bartenders. He also shows most of the people having swimming pools. In a few parts it shows houses where people have moved and their houses for sale. The ending of the story seemed to confuse me but it gave me a feeling of someone coming home from war and the families are not there. This made me sad.
