Annabel - 1'st impressions

Writers Craft
Kathleen Winter Blog


This prologue Annabel; was a very loud and grasping take on life, and how it affects us. My first impressions of the prologue is how it grasps the readers so early with great narration and a story that effects people all across the globe. The prologue does a great job of establishing mood and setting by talking about the baby and how it was set in the bathtub. And the visualization of the hospital room where the baby Wayne is born with both male and female genitalia. This picture creates a setting for the reader that makes you feel like your in the parents shoes. The prologue shows mood when the parents of the baby will do anything to keep this hideous secret from the town. It shows how people will do some things just to be accepted and not criticized. This gives the reader a sense of a sad mood and a gloomy future for this baby.
