The style of writing suggests there are more eyes than one on the scene. It takes you in, then moved you out and then zooms upon the final scene of death. Almost like the answer we were waiting for. “Overwhelmed + Eureka” seem like opposites at first, but they are also extremes...there is so MUCH of both of them. To notice how the energy of these words reflect its characters is really something. Well written!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why the one line is bolded and underlined.
DeleteI like that the stanza's look like guns.
