Lethal Reflection


I really enjoyed lethal because of the emotion illustrated in the writer’s language. Joyce managed to let the reader inside the narrator’s head without starting with blasé phrases like “I felt” “I thought”, etc. Instead she uses the method of repetition, which becomes quite effective as the prompt goes on. She goes from the narrator’s cravings of “I just want” to a more aggressive and hostile tone with the repetition of “You want.” Ironically, I read this prompt after writing my own monologue and managed to find that my writing style mimicked Joyce’s.
