Uddrag
To conclude the analysis of the short story “Slut Trouble”, written by Beejay Silcox, I will include an analysis of the writing style from lines 142-147. It’s the final event in the story that is happening, our narrator, Laura, is lying in a tent on a mattress, after playing a game with Megan.
The game started as a fun role-playing game but turned out violent. The choice of words that are used to describe the event is quite descriptive of the environment they are lying in. “Everything seems louder, the smell of chloroformed rag, the sheep-stink of the wool, the crushed leaves of the peppermint tree.” (p.4, ll.145-146).
The descriptive in the language is clear in this passage, we are introduced to the touch, smell and sound, which creates quite an intimate setting, but also a bit frightening environment.
Laura recounts that she would also like to be kidnapped, because it would mean that she would be a girl that someone, would be hurtby losing. Her adrenalin and her senses that come to life, hint to her sexual tensions awake, and that she gets to know herself better.
The Narrator of the short story, “Slut Trouble”, Beejay Silcox writes about the friendship between Laura, and Megan, two teenage girls, and their fascination with the kidnapping of the two young women in their small town.
