Money's style


“Nothing Happened. It never does, but it will. The revolving door shoved me into the lobby, and the desk clerk bobbed about in his stockade.”  (15)

            What immediately makes this unique to me is the way the main character is almost pushed through the world without a true drive.  He is going through the motions in this scene and allowing the world to just move him along.  He does this in the word choice of the description of the door “shoving” him through.  There is also a nod to this idea in the sentence before with the contradiction and how although he feels that his life does not go anywhere, it will because something else is pushing it along. The uniqueness here is shown in how the narrator controls how the reader sees the world and how bleak it may all seem.  This is the relationship the reader finds themselves in because they have no other viewpoint other than that of the characters to go by.
