Opposites attract.

# data[].attributes.body
Despite their close friendship their contrasting outlooks will eventually conflict at one point because of their needs and wants from life

# data[].attributes.body
Who's mirya? I thought he was a boy named leo.

# data[].attributes.body
Emily is way more mature than her friend

# data[].attributes.body
Dialogue shows that they're two close friends with contrasting outlooks at life and problems

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the dialogue and vocabulary choices really displays the type of people that are talking

# data[].attributes.body
Emily finds the idea of being a wallflower liberating, She doesn't have anyone to impress

# data[].attributes.body
Dialogue shows they are definitely in their teens

# data[].attributes.body
Dialogue can show you how some people interact with each other, like you tease them in a friend or a bully way dialogue will show you

# data[].attributes.body
Literary references “Anna Karenina tried that...” she reads! She’s nerdy like that 👀😩

# data[].attributes.body
Not Emily (whatever her name is) wants to be popular so she can’t help but mention it st random tones

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t think he didn’t know where to sign, I think he was nervous because he didn’t know what he was signing

# data[].attributes.body
Pronouns used to show distance. Repeated use of “we”/“them”, “I”/“they” dichotomies

# data[].attributes.body
@mitten, UNIVERSAL TRUTHS

# data[].attributes.body
Weird how she calls an indigenous taco and "indian taco," yet she mentions her husbands ex wife who is actually indian.. (?)

# data[].attributes.body
LONG LIVE NEWFOUNDLAND

# data[].attributes.body
Im also a Newfie, really cool to see someone representing Newfoundland like this. Truly inspiring!!

# data[].attributes.body
Jumps in time are possible because time frames are grounded in tangible details (the tacos, the sweat lodge, the conversation)

# data[].attributes.body
The camera starts off with the main character and Ann in the car, but it is then focused on Ann; Ann at the powwow, stuffing her face with kitkat bars and tacos, Ann dancing at the powwow, Ann rambling  on and on with the protagonist. This is how we get o know about Ann. That paragraph was like reading someone's profile, but from the eyes of another person. We are shown how our protagonist views Ann. The camera is the protagonist's (and the reader's) perspective.

# data[].attributes.body
Distance created between the author and the story via self-referentiality “...this [story] is one of those”

# data[].attributes.body
Also Micheal, I love Newfoundland and I’m also Newfie and I’m really glad to see Newfoundland represented in writing : )))

# data[].attributes.body
The mental (“Memory and facts and logic...”) and the physical (“I had gone in the sweat lodge...”)  presented here

# data[].attributes.body
Love what camera can’t quite convey: “I was hypnotized deep in my blood by the circular dancing”

# data[].attributes.body
I can taste the tacos and the chocolate bars and the sweat

# data[].attributes.body
Seeing the story as more of a montage, usually what happens when showing memories

# data[].attributes.body
Very fast paced and all over the place.

# data[].attributes.body
The opening of the paragraph makes me think of a long journey, similar to the cinematic opening of The Shining

# data[].attributes.body
He excerpt didnt leave any room for imag

# data[].attributes.body
First sentence, can almost see “I” roll eyes at being told every detail

# data[].attributes.body
She’s talking about her friend telling a story in a story but the camera sees only her story not Ann’s, we know see Ann’s story, going into her brain her life sticking a camera in her ears.

# data[].attributes.body
The story is hard to follow through... Sentences are packed with words and it keeps going from one place to the next, it doesn't really follow a straight direction .....

# data[].attributes.body
reminds of the set up of the office - a retelling that flips between the person in the present, doing the retelling and the scene of the story that took place

# data[].attributes.body
Camera follows them along a journey, almost trailing behind them

# data[].attributes.body
Camera goes from driving back home to talking about your own bloodstream

# data[].attributes.body
Some of these sentences are kinda long

# data[].attributes.body
think FILM not THEATRE—writer as cinematographer

# data[].attributes.body
camera and character proxemics!!

# data[].attributes.body
The scene felt very fast which made me nervous even though I knew nothing was happening to me

# data[].attributes.body
Emerson has studied the way white parents reacts to situations

# data[].attributes.body
Emerson hints at the fact that hes goin to have ti explain himself but his mom exposes him, the conversation is goin and and a cop car randlmly ahows up, all unexpcted

# data[].attributes.body
He had experience this before and know  what is going to happen but is dreading it

# data[].attributes.body
Both qualitative (Emerson’s FEELINGS) and quantitative (the shocking number $608) description. Depth!

# data[].attributes.body
I think he did something stupid and didn't lose his phone, he left it and ran when he saw the cops coming.

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe his phone got stolen. I mean this as in he left it somewhere, someone took it and then used it for something which was unsafe to the point that the police had to be involved. Throughout this story, you keep expecting the slap in the face, the pole you'll crash into, to come. You wish for the trouble to stop and be resolved, however it only gets worse. That's one thing to consider when you're in or are writing a scene: How do you make it worse for your character?

# data[].attributes.body
It shows from the passage that Emerson clearly wasn't white... Perhaps his parent are strict and uptight about money,  and he doesn't want them to know he lost his phone because they would stress over the price of the phone when they need  to purchases new one for him

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe his parents have made sacrifices to get to where they are which is why the use of the word effects Emerson so much

# data[].attributes.body
“Volume...hasn’t started to rise yet”

# data[].attributes.body
Feels trapped and like he wants to escape, as he jumps at the first opportunity to leave,, the knock on the door

# data[].attributes.body
Emerson doesn't seem too regretful for whatever actions he took (so much for the lie I was going to tell) so it's clear that He's done shady things in the past

# data[].attributes.body
Emerson may believe what his parents are saying which would explain why he didn’t want to tell them. It would also tell us about how close their relationship is

# data[].attributes.body
Is Emerson adopted or a foster kid?

# data[].attributes.body
The narrator has no dialogue. We enter his internal reality. He thinks more than he speaks. Tells us who he is with his parents.

# data[].attributes.body
"It didn't occur to me that whoever found my phone could be racking up charges" the tension was already in the back of his head

# data[].attributes.body
Narrator didn’t respond to calls “again today”, the past is brought into the story, heightening the tension through exposition.

# data[].attributes.body
The narrator clearly doesn’t have the most loving parents and kind of idealizes the stereotype of “white parents” who always seem to be supportive and calm

# data[].attributes.body
Being straightforward instead of beating around the bush, as well as using a relatable situation that most people would feel uncomfortable in, increases tension.

# data[].attributes.body
tying i race, with the line about the white parents, can already induce a feeling of tension as the reader is connected to the outside world where racial tensions, especially at the moment are high. so by connecting passage to real world tension, the reader becomes more susceptible to feeling tension

# data[].attributes.body
Why did Emerson feel the need to lie about this issue? This makes the reader become nervous about why the police are there as we are unsure of events leading up to this.

# data[].attributes.body
Why did he feel the need to tell a lie to his parents? They we’re probably going to find out anyway.

# data[].attributes.body
Emerson seems afraid of his parents hence why he was already thinking about telling them a lie about his missing phone.

# data[].attributes.body
Emerson tried to not lose his cool, and that shows character development

# data[].attributes.body
Tension is built by slowly escalating the level of trouble Emerson is in and then descalating it over and over.

# data[].attributes.body
Tension developed by: resentfulness of protagonist (“the way I imagined white parents would ask”; “mom informs me”); short sentences, some separated into paragraphs of their own; reader begins to wonder why Emerson is so “still in shock”, as if we missed something.

# data[].attributes.body
Arrested for no have phone?
