This book was sort of challengijg the first ten pages because I'm not use to the author writing the dialogue in such a way that it isn't directly noticable that there is dialogue. I was sort of confused on why the wife went to the asylum with her husband, and no one picked up on that. She did a bunch of things that to a blind person might seem like something you would need you eyes for, for example the bandaging of the leg of the thief. I also found it interesting that there are no names being mentioned. It's sort of vague who the characters names are, and overall there is no mention of the town, the country, nothing. But perhaps because the people are blind tye author kinda wants us to be blind in reading this book to certain aspects of the book... Just something to think about.
Welcome to the blog for Prof. John Talbird's English 102 class. The purpose of this site is two-fold: 1) to continue the conversations we start in class (or to start conversations before we get to class) and 2) to practice our writing, reading, and thinking on a weekly basis in an informal setting.
Interesting theory about the lack of names, Andrew. Good response.
