This is a very interesting story, both in structure and
ideas. The story only loosely follows a linear progression; it does go forward but
often goes back to the beginning and the idea that the narrator is the reader’s
worst fear. It will often reference what happens to Emile before we actually
find out. This does make it a little confusing at time, referencing something we
haven’t learned yet, but after finishing it and looking back it makes sense,
and it is realistic to how people talk in real life.
I
also found it very similar goldie locks and the three bears. The couple tries
the baby’s bed and it’s not good enough so they move on, eating the food, then
fall asleep. The difference is, it’s the bears, the dirty ones who live outside
mostly who break into the blonds’ house.
It
also has an interesting point of view. We are seeing a crime from the criminal’s
point of view, and it makes the criminal a very sympathetic character. The protagonist
is an ideal example of an anti-hero. She’s a prostitute, drug user, and she is
breaking into a family’s house, but we see her struggle so that despite
everything we still want her to succeed. We see what a hard life she leads and
what her to be happy, and mourn when she loses the closest person in her life.
