Anonymousalmost 10 years agoJust a little scared. Just enough--
I was scared and I liked it!
Then I was in a box-like room
filled with one huge rose--
Anonymousalmost 10 years ago"A couple of overstuffed leather armchairs and a functional glass coffee table were placed at the end of a hall, [around a bend that led nowhere but to stairs no one used. High windows let in the light, and thick carpet muffled the sound] ... "
The part I bracketed (sp?) is almost exactly like a mysterious section of "The Leopard" by -- I'd have to look up the spelling of his name, now.
It's not just the part that I put brackets around--but this whole quote. The glass, the end of the hall, "around a bend that led nowhere ... and a thick carpet that muffled the sound--"
I wrote about this to one person. If I can still find my nearly ruined--bought at--oh--a used book store--BUT I CAN FIND IT--THIS BOOK AT PRAIRIE LIGHTS--I DON'T HAVE TO FIND IT BROKEN AND RUINED IN THE BASEMENT!
I can call Prairie Lights and order it! A paperback ("paperback writer") from this store!
I'm going to do this now. And compare the above I quoted with "The Leopard."

Anonymousalmost 10 years agobut I can't be imagining the echoes (sp?) of the section I quoted's relations to a part of "The Leopard"?
Who would I ask about this? Like, "Hey! Let me show you how parts of this story from "Lit." compares to sections from "The Leopard"!
And if I sent a copy of what I've written here to literary people, I'd just be thought of as "bad," or--worse. Why? I've studied literary analysis all my life.
Anonymousover 9 years agoHeroic--it's like "Casablanca"!
(They don't have to be sexually ""pure" or anything.)
I admire women I think are--
like women I'd like to be--but maybe just in my imagination--
I admit this is sexist--
I think women are subtle, cunning and (note that I omitted a comma after the last word before "and") sometimes deceptively dangerous.
I think if women are as fascinating as I've portrayed them, above, then--I need to--get up to speed? I don't think anyone thinks I'M "subtle, cunning and ... deceptively dangerous.")
It's called stealth.
