Week 2: Chapter 3: Following the Notes.

I chose the story written from a young girls point of view. it has dialogue between her and her father after he picks her up when she has car trouble. The use of dialogue in the story tells you many things that are not obviously written out in the story. I got the impression that the relationship between her mother and herself as well as the relationship between the mother and the father was a bit strained.I picked this up by the way she talked about her mom being "sick" when she knew she was hungover. Also when the mother excuses herself from the dinner table and leaves the rest of the family there. Perhaps she is in some dark depression? Or maybe the father is a composer/musician that hasn't sold any work lately and the family is struggling because of it? To be told what is happening from this girls point of view does still leave a lot for the imagination, but the pace, format, and style keep you right in her (a late teen early twenties girl) mind.
