ANGUS IMRIE
Mrs Horsewill did as she was told; she knew the drill..
In the opening sentences of ‘Fine,Thanks’, I strived to achieve a specific lyricism in the description, using imagery and personification as a means of accomplishing this. I have a habit of recording overheard conversations I find amusing or memorably interesting as a study of how people converse. In an attempt to form a strong sense of realism in my piece, all the dialogue consists of verbatim extracts from these conversations. Although the story is written in the third person, there are instances in which the thoughts of a character are expressed in order to expose their will or temperament: a form of free indirect discourse.
