King likes to play with the issues of that border between men and women‚ in “Green Grass Running Water.” The story crosses genres‚ moves back and forth across time‚ and plays with both oral and story-telling tradition and different points of view. It allows the reader to obtain comical relief for important and influential topics. I only touch on Kings idea of women’s roles in this response‚ but there are many other issues he brings up throughout the novel. The issue of roles in the novel can

Visser’s writing is in fact persuasive‚ connotative and inductive. After a careful analysis of the story‚ one must conclude that Visser intentionally attempts to convince her audience that fasting is wrong by appealing

for my achilles. These superfluous attempts at eliminating pain only created more problems.
