“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.
