Ann Moore's Life

This narrative comes from a viewpoint that is not that of the main characters. It is a different sort of narrative and could maybe be classified under anti-narrative. The story has no real plot, it seems very real, like it could have actually happen. Not one event is made to stand out over any others but almost to lay out her whole life to see how all of her interactions have led her to the end. The story is intriguing because it keeps you involved although there is no real plot. This book would probably relate to many other peoples lives. The way she moves from partner, and city to city seems like something someone would tell in a true story. The writer of the story spreads the entire story out so it seems all the same there seems to be no climax to the story but rather the whole story is equally important in the message. I think the subtextual meaning comes thru-ought the whole story of how important a whole lifetime is worth and not just key parts of someone's life. It seems to explain how life can be a collection of events that shape someone. It is a gradual process, just like life is a gradual process.
