Reality V. Fantsy (Diction)

Reality 1
No one can see me, no one would stop me, no one could help me. They would just call the FBI but it would be too late. My only regret is nothing. She’d have the coffee on. There was a time during my search for a cure when I tried everything to stop including giving up sadness. The smell filled the room. I loved to drink a pot of coffee in the morning, to say hello to her after we’d spent another year together. I’d tell her now it’s going okay except for the poison. It’s going okay except for how much I miss her and him. How? Why?! I’ve never been a very good soulmate. [From Joshua Ferris’s The Unnamed]

No one can see me, no one would stop me, no one could help me. They would just call the family but it would be too late. My only regret is something. She’d have the coffee on. There was a time during my search for a cure when I tried everything to stop including giving up happiness. The smell filled the house. I loved to drink a bottle of Svedka  in the evening, to say farewell to him after we’d spent another month together. I’d tell her now it’s going okay except for the poison. It’s going okay except for how much I miss her and them. what? when?! I’ve never been a very good fling. [From Joshua Ferris’s The Unnamed]

The first paragraph was written based off of what society expects from couples within in todays time. The second paragraph was written based off of what people subconsciously want but don’t fulfill because of their strong morals. The whole tone changed completely from being to wanting. Some people will live life how it’s expected to be lived or live life however they want. Not so much thought behind the choices that they may make.

  1. I love the idea of giving up sadness. I also like how it's a pot of coffee, not just a cup.
