Town Tattle

The apartment was on the top floor--
a small living room,
a small dining room,
a small bedroom...

The living room... crowded
a set of tapestried furinture entirely too large...
the only picture... a hen sitting on a blurred rock.
From a distance... the countenance of a stout old lady beamed down into the room.

Old copies of "Town Tattle" lay on the table...
a reluctant elevator boy...
a box full of straw and some milk...
large dog biscuits... decomposed apthetically in the suacer of milk...
(Fitzgerald 33)

  1. Like the repetition of "small" in your paragraph, gives you a idea of how small the place is.

  2. I like the chicken picture. It's random, a chicken really. It sounds like he's deep in thought or she, the chicken I mean.
