First Sentence Blog

It was a queer sultry summer the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and i didnt know what i was doing in new york. This is the opening sentence to the book that we are going to read and honestly i am not very optimistic about where the book will go from here. However from this first sentence i was able to make a few conclusion about the rest of the chapter before reading it. the first is that Esther had no idea what she was doing in New York, which made me think that she was not born there or did not live there permanently. The second thing that i got was that she feels a distance from everything around her from the way that she said they. This makes the distinction that she is not supportive and does nt feel taht she wants to be a part of things.
