"Louella" Tre'

Louella Tre’, For some reason when I started reading this story, I thought about Jean Toomer’s Cane with the way that you repeat certain lines like the course of a song—the repeating of colors such as red and white and the repeating of the name Louella and moons. Throughout the five sections I like how you alternate from prose to poetry. I think that the longest section “Numb” could be broken into two sections. In that section there is a break between the part about the bar and the part about the brothel—I think that would be the best place for the split between one section and the other. After reading this piece I think that the section “Numb” is very much separated from the others, but the way in which you repeat certain lines through the whole piece connects the sections still.
