Document Summary
Jean uncorked on him i dragged him off the marble. : when writers write stories, they have a problem that they want to set, the problem for this story was violence, and how do you represent violence, the more realistic you make the representation of violence, the bigger the shock, and the less controllable are the responses, they usually try to channel where the responses are going to go, what"s the excuse for the violence, realism this is what pool halls were like in the late 60s and 70s, also think about how well it"s expressed. Narrator: the narrator is right in your face like he"s talking to you, the narrator presents the story as a series of anecdotes that connect a central theme, one of the problems is that he thinks that jean is his father"s favourite, look at paragraph 17, p 279 middle of the page, but most times, as i say, i dose off.
