Answer:
The Davranche family is fairly poor, a condition which Joseph's mother passive-aggressively blames on his father. His two adult sisters sew their own clothes, and the family survives on plain, monotonous meals. Joseph's uncle Jules, whom Joseph has never met, has squandered the Davranche inheritance. However, he's emigrated to New York and written to the family twice, explaining that he's doing well and hopes to return to Le Havre one day. He plans to repay Philippe, Joseph's father, his share of the inheritance, leaving the family to place all their hope in Jules to secure their financial future.
Every Sunday, the family members dress in their best clothes and walk along the docks of Le Havre, watching the steamships come in and hoping to attract marriage prospects for the sisters. Each week, Joseph's father muses how wonderful it would be if Jules happened to be on one of the steamers.
My Uncle Jules'' is a frame narrative, or a story within a story. In Maupassant's tale, the outer frame introduces an unnamed narrator and Joseph Davranche, who gives an old beggar five francs. In Maupassant's lifetime (1850-1893), this was fairly generous. Joseph explains his act by telling the story about his uncle, Jules.
Main Narrative
The main narrative is about Joseph's immediate family and his uncle, Jules. His family lives in Le Havre, a coastal town in Normandy, France.
