Recommended: The use of symbolism in the novel

Brian Evenson and Zak Sally do a great job showing what the story tells and how the main character feels by taking quotes of the main character of his feelings while showing them in a pictured form as if the story was a comic. This is really good because sometimes the reader might be confused about the text or think of what it says in another way then what the author thought of.
This also gives more life to the story in the way of showing a more fantasied version of the story than what the reader might have in his/her head.
The text and images both show sadness and depression towards the main character but more importantly, they both are directly connected to the main character’s thoughts
The imagery and text create an emotional effect because

    One significant example was when Mary contemplated on her recent encounter and attempted to scrutinise the true identity of the anonymous man. “She lay down on the sofa, and wondered who was this stranger who seemed intent on invading her private world: a rapist, a robber, some insane person who preyed on lonely women in ways she could not begin to think of?” Moreover, uncompleted sentences and consequential statements recounting what has occurred stimulated the imagination and enabled readers to ponder about the consequences or associated feelings as an alternative to specifically expressing them and restricting the readers’ creativity or artistic visual representations. Nevertheless, foreshadowing also contributed to the inducement of suspense through the unrevealed information and gradual elucidation of clues.

    This is effective because of her uses of descriptive words like “stark”, and “big, round and gleaming like cartoon jungle boys”. (Smith) These words add images in the reader’s head and when you read the “big, round and gleaming like cartoon jungle boys” (Smith) you get the image of two cartoon characters fighting in puff that cartoon puff of smoke where different parts of body parts pop out of the smoke during the fight and then instantly go back in to the smoke. These words show that the main character thinks this all some cartoon and the whole quote it self shows the reader that there are some sick people in this world, now and in the past that will do horrific things because a person’s skin color is different. If she left those words out and just said that I walked into a dark alley, because its hard to see me, and I beat black man with a pipe, the meaning would not be the same. There is a demonic effect that is parent when you read the quote and her use of imagery makes the main character seem more evil. Also they way she uses dialog in her imagery impact the sense of listening of reader. The part of the quote, “Hey, nigger, Abe Lincoln’s been dead a long time.” (Smith), really adds a more hatred in the interaction. If this line was apparent, the whole quote would not be so strong because the dialog gives the reader
