What Is The Theme Of In Memory

Decent Essays
This response letter belongs to Brittany Jacques’ story “In Memory.” The story is about a woman named V, writing a letter to her lover M and remembering the last day they spend together. The story’s theme is about the hardships of seen someone you love, leave. The story has a lot of things that are just great. For starters, the usage of one letter for names of the characters was just an interesting approach. It is something that I don’t see too often. I know how difficult is to give characters names, I experience this problem a lot. The second thing I enjoyed while reading was the emotions. The emotions projected from V and M were very good. It felt very believable. I like the last scene, because it made me remember when my girlfriend and

The second act was the true execution of everybody’s motives. Curly defeats Jud and wins Laurey over and Will Parker finally earns back $50 to take Ado Annie as his wife. I think the rhythm was smooth and cohesive.…

Much like her role in the movie, she is forced to shelve her own needs in order to carry out her duty.…
