Something that I really liked throughout this story was the use of dialogue. The author uses a unique approach to dialogue, never actually having quotations but rather choosing to have the characters interectations viewed through the lens of the woman who is experiencing them. We learn a lot about how this character interprets interactions this way, and it makes me consider the effects an unreliable narrator could have on this. Particularly since we covered dialogue last class, I’ve been a lot more cognizant of different ways to approach dialogue and this reading served as a great example of an alternative method of conveying information that was delivered through speech without howing the story loaded with talking. The overall message of the story missed the mark for me, I’m not particularly sure why it didn’t resonate with me much but I’m hoping some discussion will let me understand and see it from different perspectives. In general, I felt that because of the way the story was structured, I was left feeling like there were details that needed explored that weren’t or information that wasn’t important that they spent a lot of time on; I think its a story about connections and how those may grow and change.
