before the train after the train

while reading this I was at  first thrown off by how chopped her paragraphs were the way language was used and it kind of made me feel like these were snippets of her memory while she was depressed, She remembers pieces and tries to be whole but she can't, she feels like Jeremy isn't the person that she fell in love with and that things are just not the same. While being in a vulnerable state Jeremy's friend approaches her and the go off into having an affair. I think that it was a way for her to cope with her husbands trauma and that she was trying to back in time. the way it ended ticked me off because, in all honesty, I wanted someone to get caught or a type of punishment to take place. This man just lost his hand got betrayed by his wife and friends and is in the dark.

  1. Hi Sumiaya: This is a great point, that the text is in "pieces," just like Jeremy is. It's a case of form serving content. Nice observation!
