When I first started reading this chapter I quickly noticed how much the description helped me visualize the setting of the story starting from the ride in the truck all the way to the inside of the apartment. Even the tiniest of details like the melted M&M’s were described to us, and that brings me to my first question. Why were small details like this necessary for the author to tell us if they did not hold much significance? The relationship the author and Lucy shared was a little strange as well considering how Lucy would completely ignore Ann in school, yet Ann felt like she knew who Lucy was. Once they began living together the whole dynamic changed. This makes me question why the author chose to write about Lucy. Why not a sibling, parent or a different friend?
