Casey's Story Analysis
Hi, Casey, I found it difficult as well to keep up with the story. I agree it was hard to read at first. At times I found myself lost and would have to restart reading to understand what I was reading. Although it was difficult to read at the beginning, as the story progressed, it became easier and more interesting to read. I also relate to how you said the narrator being trapped in the room is much like being grounded. Confinement can lead anyone to insanity although I believe the narrator was insane to begin

    According to Professor Heather Paxson (2006) of MIT, gender refers to the characteristics that differentiate men and women’s behaviors and it includes value judgments connected to masculinity and femininity and everything in between. However, as one learns more and more about gender, they question the necessity of gender and even its existence. In the piece X: A Fabulous Child’s Story by Lois Gould (1978 or 2006) gender is portrayed as unimportant in order to have a good life; gender doesn’t matter. It shows that people have a need to categorize everything into groups because if they don’t, the unknown lingers in their minds and they fear it. People fear the unknown and the different, therefore they fear any gender other than the binary. But…

    Each time I was about to begin the chapter people would appear out of nowhere and distract me from the reading. I was forced to constantly reread the first two pages because I was unable to digest the reading, though because of this I was able to really grasp the concept of where the chapter was going to go. In order to over come these challenges I had read most of the chapter in the late hours of the night because that is when my house is the quietest and I get the most work done. Though when I had difficulty with the text the strategy I use to overcome this was rereading until I fully understood what the author was trying to…

    The story is told from three different POVs: From Libby Day in the present and from Ben and Patty Day in 1985. There’s a fourth narrative near the end that provides a surprising twist. You jump from past to present, slowly piecing together the story as Libby does. Whilst I’m not the biggest fan of multiple perspectives and constant flashbacks, I think that Gillian Flynn has this technique nailed down to a tee. It was a day in the year of 1985 when Ben – Libby’s older brother – allegedly murdered three members of his own family – including his mother, Patty, and two of his younger sisters – in cold blood. Only Libby somehow managed to escape the massacre. It was Libby’s coerced testimony that condemned Ben to a lifelong imprisonment. Now, after…

    When you have such elegantly written work, it puts the reader constantly wanting more. But with the occasional wall, I found myself rather quickly skimming through to get back to the actual storyline while previous astonishments remained fresh. This ultimately creates several moments that the reader becomes disconnected from the book and often times misses out on juicy information sometimes embedded in the babbling.…

At age 48, O’Brien is already a 35-year bowhunting veteran. As a youngster in Pennsylvania, he got his introduction to hunting from his dad. Since then, O’Brien has taken hundreds of deer over the years, and most of those deer have been bow kills.…

    After a certain amount of reading, the story began picking itself up from the dialogue but in a rather slow pace. After 10 % of the story, specific sections of the story were still not clear in my opinion such as how Chief began his imprisonment in the Ward or whether or not Chief is actually mentally ill. At 25% there was still quite amount of dialogue but unanswered questions from before were being filled in. At 50% of the story, I began to understand Chiefs obsession of the fog and enjoyed the competitive rivalry between Nurse Ratched and MCMurphy. At 75% of the story, I had to acknowledge how McMurphy had dramatically changed from the begining to now, as he became more aggravated and physical all because of Nurse Ratched and the Mental Ward. If I were to change anything about the story I would have included relevant information in the beginning for readers so it won't be confusing when continuing on with the…

    I found the beginning of this book quite confusing. I had a difficult time discerning who the main characters were and what was the plot. I also wasn't quite sure when the Mother had died and it wasn't until later that I realized the reason that Carmen was present was because she had traveled home for her mother's funeral. However, once I got into the book and started to put the characters in context, I really began to enjoy it.…

    Consciousness, as the book stated, really can be a funny thing. As I delved into Chapter 3, my consciousness immediately began to drift away. I was telling myself in my head how “I have to try to read as much of this chapter tonight, so I could focus on the writing the next day”. Funny thing is I didn’t actually notice what was happening until I read “And then there are those times when consciousness seems to split. Reading Green Eggs and Ham to my preschooler for the umpteenth time, my obliging mouth could say the words while my mind wandered elsewhere.” However, I also had to reread a chunk of the text because even though my eyes were reading, my mind didn’t quite grasp any of what I’d just read while I was pondering about the reading and writing assignment.…
