She also judged Hawaii too quickly and thought it was going to be a substandard place to live. When she got there, the beauty of the islands amazed her.

    An Ounce of Cure Defined

    It was on that Saturday night in April in 1968 at the Berryman’s house which whom she baby-sat for often, that the life-altering decision unraveled. The setting in this story is like a timeline of her summer from the breakup to the drunken cascade. Munro plotted the story in such a way that you feel as though you were following the main character through several months of emotions and conflicts; such as seeing Martin Collingwood play Darci in the schools Christmas production of Pride and Prejudice all the way up to the night of the Spring Dance, shortly followed by that forever lasting Saturday night.…

    Devil in a blue dress

    The novel’s setting is, to me, quite central to the themes it explores. Easy’s investigation becomes not only a search for Daphne, but also an investigation of the structure of society/the city and it’s built in violence. In one way, the novel is a from-below depiction of black Los Angeles in the forties; its insides and contrasting outsides. Easy’s journey also starts in his own community and…
