: I NEED HELP!

: I NEED A SUMMERY AND A BRIEF EXPLANATION AS WELL AS THE VOICE OF THIS NOVEL

Two seperate stories, Buddy is the voice in both. Raise High the Roof Beams describes Seymore's wedding day, although he never appears in the story. Buddy comes to the wedding on leave from the army only to find out that Seymore has stood up his bride. The story describes the uncomfortable car ride Buddy takes with the maid of honor and other friends of the bride who eventually figue out that Buddy is Seymore's brother. Seymore an Intoduction is written as more of a meandering diary entry in which Buddy tries to capture Seymore on page. Descritions range from physical, ability(or lack there of) at sports, to his poetry. Both are a pleasure to read and I highly recomend them both.
