Oh my am I confused by what this story has to say. There are so many things that I could point out. Let me start by saying that the first lines makes my stomach turn, “He liked thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, a stuffed roast heart, liver slices fried with crustcrumbs, fried hencods’ roes.” Who in their right mind would eat such a thing? But I suppose maybe this person isn’t in their right mind otherwise they would eat something a little less retched. Besides this man’s need for unappetizing food, he has a couple pages talking about a cat. Cats I may say are quite like the devil. They have a tendency of being quite…peculiar? As far as I can see cats are always walking around with their “tail on high.” I have a question on what this writer is trying to say about “If you clip them they can’t mouse after.” Does this mean the cat can’t catch or chase mice? It is quite confusing. The writer also structures his sentences in such a way that the words are jumbled and you can’t make sense of what he is trying to actually say. On page ’56’ at the bottom of the page there are several words that are so odd that I wonder if it is even a language this person is speaking, “Ahbeesee defeegee kelomen opeecue rustyouvee” “Inishturk. Inishark. Inishboffin.” What are these ridiculous words?????? So much to think about, but so little to think. I wish there was someone to explain this story to me. And why in his short little ‘poem’ he uses the words “ass and garden” together.
