Lesley Norley Blow Analysis

84 Words1 Page

Lesley Crewe effectively argues that love comes with regrets that must be overcome. Her argument is well established through her use of idiosyncratic characters, the relationship between them and the indigenous dialogue. Nonetheless, her usage of the plot makes the argument ineffective because it stretches authenticity frequently and is a basic harlequin romance. For example, having a Hollywood star come to Cape Breton and have a background of getting sexually assaulted is quite ridiculous including the impractical conclusion which unsuccessfully displays her universal message.

The narrative of this article paints Louise as the victim and society as the culprit.

    As I read “Does This Date Mean Anything to You”, I found myself extremely moved and I reacted with both sympathy and empathy as I began to understand the situation that ensnared Lynn Bernardini. I found myself increasingly moved as the story went on as I began to realize that this was not merely a bad situation, but a terrible situation. One particular part that struck me was when she talked about no one understanding her situation saying, “Do you have any idea what labor feels like to a teenager in a room all alone?” This particular line had a sizeable impact on how I was interpreting this story. My view changed from merely feeling sorry for her, to realizing that my level of understanding and sympathy could not possibly match the traumatic
