Willing

Somethings that I noticed about the writing in "Willing" is that theauthor always seems to have a link about what she said in the beginning of the story and what she says at the end of the story. For example, when she talks about how Sirde is older and slighty sagger than she used to be she adds in a metaphor about the jack 'o lantern and how it was rotten. I'a almost as if she is writhing away just like the jack 'o latern that she left. But also how she's still trying to keep what she once was. She can't move on and it seems like that she's trying to run aways from herself. Another example, is when Walter talks about the birds in the middle of story. Moore goes back to it at the end examplinhow Sirde finally was able to become that bird and fly aways from the hole she put herself in. I understand the concept of "Willing," that Sirde was always ready to go for what was infront of her, but at the same time I don't think she was willig. I don't think she was willing to finally go back to where her heart truelly wanted to be. She was scared of that place and so she decided to run aways from it. I don't think she truelly can be willing if she doesn't try to even face her fears. But at the same time I guess that's what willing is, trying everything else out except the one thing that you love the most.
