a.
Tone: Blunt and open. Not afraid to negatively
portray herself. Tells it like a dramatic story, like casual story-talk.
b.
Images: Gives us a great image of the
restaurant, the first and second floors, the outside door, the bouncer. Then
when something exciting happens, she doesn’t waste time describing the places;
she knows we already have the images of place in our heads.
c.
Form: Intro scene; Star Jones story; first
getting the job and back-story; importance of clothes (with Naomi); the Bush
Daughters; Leaving: six sections.
d.
Meaning: There doesn’t seem to be some inherent
meaning or moral to the stories here. They are interesting and a good read.
They keep our interest and give us insight into her life. If anything, we see a
young and immature woman decide that she must move on and grow up.
e.
I will take from this the idea of writing a
story as an insight into my life, not necessarily a moral or a lesson that must
come out of it.
f.
Qs: What does she do now? Is she prolific and
experienced as a writer, or did she stay in the pop culture scene? This would
give it more meaning for me.
