Journal 10

The dialogue depicts how the story is perceived. The man is trying to be supported, so his dialogue hints that he is trying to uplift the woman who is facing a fork in the road in which an operation is involved. The story takes place in Spain, where the man and woman are waiting for a train so they can depart to their destinations. The atmosphere is filled with nervousness and riddles. What is the operation she need? Is it an operation she is indeed waiting for? Why is this man taking such an interest in her? The woman is beside herself and doesn't know what to do about her current situation, and the gentleman she meets tries to uplift her and end her anxieties so he can have a peaceful train ride. Overall I would say that this was a strange story. It left me more confused then when I started reading.
