Indledning
In ‘Suzie and Choo-Choo’s Day in New York’ we follow a woman named Suzie and her day as the caretaker of a dog through an apparent tape recording.
The owner of both the dog and a seemingly nice apartment in which Suzie temporarily lives comes home to an apartment in which there is neither Suzie nor his beloved dog for whom Suzie was responsible.
All that is left after Suzie’s stay, is a tape which Murray plays as he is puzzled as to what happened to and with his dog.

Uddrag
Our narrator of the story is also the main character, Suzie. What’s very interesting is that Suzie seems to switch her type of narration numerous times throughout the story.
When talking about herself she makes big use of third-person narration. The fact that she talks about herself in the third person
might be an attempt to give off the impression that she is an important person, who most likely is also the center of her own little universe, even though she might not really be all that interested in reality.
This goes hand in hand with the fact, that Suzie is a very self-centered person. She does not care too much as to how others are feeling, it is like she does not even pay the slightest of attention.
While she is drinking coffee with Armando, who she refers to as a ‘street bum’ for quite some time, Choochie even experiences what Suzie considers a “rape scene”.
