Problem:
The "you" the narrator addresses at the beginning of the story refers to a teacher concerned about Emily's welfare. At first the narrator seems somewhat defensive (as in the third paragraph, when she sarcastically responds to the teacher's request). How does the relationship between the narrator and the teacher evolve over the course of the story, so that by the end the narrator beseeches, "Only help her to know - help make it so there is cause for her to know" (para. 56)? To what extent might the narrator be addressing the reader as well as the teacher?
