The story I read was Rae Carruth’s son will be at prison gates when father who wanted him dead goes free. This story was organized in a similar was as “The Things That Carried Him” in that it showed multiple different perspectives of the same event. It begins with Carruth’s son, then to the boys grandmother, the coach, and his wife’s mother. Each of the perspectives uses dialogue as a form of action. Through quotes, the traits of each character in the story become apparent. The article is sectioned off by different quotes, and new characters were introduced with quotes as well. Almost the entire last section of the article is one long quote broken up into different graphs. This story covers a deeply personal event, and through the characterization of the quotes, the readers can see how each person in the story feels.
