I like the idea of a therapist’s
suggestion leading to a stream of consciousness piece during a fit of insomnia. I wonder about her exact
medium- is she on a computer or a physical journal? This could at a lot to the piece about he
personality- is she more old-fashioned or contemporary? Garside’s personality is
hard to distinguish because the image of “army” green pants and his daughter’s
name being cloud contrast, one being more drill sergant-ish and the other being
more hippie-ish. Neither add to the idea of a typical religion teacher. Could
this be explored more? I really like the phrase of “spit and bullshit” and the
juxtaposition of the physical and the metaphorical. I would like to see more of
this. I wish I could see more of the narrator, as our first idea of her
personality is “if people like me go to hell then heaven will definitely be really
boring” and we aren’t given the name Caitlyn until halfway down the last page.
Just the fact that she call her grandfather “gramps” hints at their
relationship. I would like to see more- was he a “fuddy duddy”? Where does she think he went after death? I
think the ending about feeding people “drugs instead of fear” was very powerful
and it seems like just the start of an angry rant. I was kind of disappointed
afterwards when she just left to sew her pants after that.
