Oates Story


This story was told in the first person. The author takes us upon a journey during her abduction. She displayed us her traumatic experience with her being kidnapped. She explains to us the multitude micro-events that transpire during her abduction process.

The author uses very descriptive words to explain movement, moods, and significance within this short story. She goes to great lengths to detailed very specific happenings to her during this time period. She explained her wounds and bruises. She even empathized with the killer as they picked up the red head. The author's description of the red head was effective. 

The overall story was a solid read. I thought it was okay. It moved through time well, and I thought the characters use of description was effective. I just felt that more could have been shared.
