Paula’s voice‚ in which the entire novel is related‚ combines convincing staccato storytelling‚ slangy working-class diction‚ frank revelations‚ and agonized reconstruction of the past in sometimes profane and often touching tones. Here Paula remembers her teenaged self‚ both attracted and repelled by the man she will so disastrously marry: He was a ride. It was the best way to describe him‚ from the first time I heard of him to the last time I saw him. He wasn’t‚t gorgeous. There was never anything

“Like the Sun” and “The Open Window” are two both very similar yet different stories. “Like the Sun” happens to be about truth‚ and its effects while “The Open Window” is based around deception. Both authors do a great job at setting examples of paradoxes and irony in their stories.

These two stories were both written about‚ in my opinion‚ a deception of curiosity. Laurie
