Or Else thoughts

I liked how she applied living characteristics to the setting throughout the story. It was a very effective way to get the reader to visualize whatever she was describing. The way the house was "wedged, like a cartoon house, between big bullying mansions on either side."

All of David's memories of the past made me look back on my childhood and think of similar events to what he experienced.

The way his fond (and not so fond) memories kept being interrupted but Danielle making a rude comment or something was interesting. I can relate to the way David is always planning ahead in his own mind; trying to deal with events before they occur.
