what I think was the writers purpose and how it was accomplished

In the story of Lou’s Place, the writer’s purpose is to show how a simple restaurant which may at first glance seem unimportant has become the social heart of the community of Sunbright Tennessee. The writer accomplishes this by providing well developed supporting details which allow the reader to imagine how people from the different walks of life, regardless of age or occupation all meet at Lous Place and is able to mix with each other in a friendly, warm environment. Lou’s place is seen as more than just an old fashioned restaurant, but as a place where all are welcomed and there is the feeling of being in an extended family. The writer also supports this idea by stating that although times were changing and the people who visited the restaurant were changing as well, the general atmosphere of the restaurant and the reasons why people continued to visit remains the same
