One element of this story I really enjoyed was the internal monologue versus the external dialogue. As the audience, it made me feel like I was inside the brain of the narrator while also a fly on the wall. The continuation of rhetorical questions or internally answering another characters question pointed me toward the mood or tone of the narrator. I could read their emotions toward the situation without the narrator having to go beyond saying he didn’t want the blind man there. From an engagement aspect, the internal aspects kept me going. I too was thinking about some of the questions the narrator posed in his internal monologue. Mulling over the possible answers in an attempt to further understand the story. Overall, I think the internal monologue heightened the level of reflection one may have with this story. It left so many questions posed and unanswered, even the end itself.
