Breonna, in writing her journey, brought us literally through a journey. We were allowed to know at what time, at what place, and at what circumstances she was performing or partaking in each action/event. I liked how Breonna inserted times for her readers to be more familiar with the happenstance, allowing us to gauge approximately how long each event lasted. When she brought up the fact that she was "statistically breached," I couldn't help but relate with her. Too often, I will plan to go somewhere but look up too much about it prior to actually going. By doing this, I as well as she is never able to fully understand, respect, or learn from that place that we happen to go to. Breonna's style of writing for this particular journey elicited high level representations of desolation, mystery and uncertainty. I like the repetitive inclusion of such representations because they were able to keep me interested in reading about her journey and finding out how it ended.
