Alright, I'm walking down Virginia and okay. And just got out the phone hotel, given all the latest. But it's been an interesting day. We'll suppose that was her day today. I don't know if I said that earlier. I did a lot of not research, but like a review of books claiming to be unnerrated. From, well, told from an unreliable perspective, not a perspective, but a narrator. A lot of creativity. I need to find what aspect of my own unreliable narration is going to be. I know I have to come from something that is uniquely my case. So, there's also trying to understand. Florence is back. I spent a lot of time on atoms. And throughout the novel, we're going to have to explain where atoms background comes from. And that's the whole point, I mean. You know, one of the aspects of unreliable narration is that time is distorted, it's chopped up, and it's scrambled. And there's a, you know, the real time of the story will consist of scrambled time from atoms, current experience. And the retelling of Florence's mother's experience as he slowly discovers, you know, the letters. And what it caused her to just completely abandon her world. But then to come back in what was essentially a feral state. How does that happen? How he learns about it. Now, at the same time, he will slowly discover that he is helping a human trafficking ring. Now, what is the significant for the two? How are they essentially like Ian and Yank? And are those the two things like atoms discovery essentially of his past? Is in some way a release for him. Now, do I parallel this with the students who supposedly teaching? Are they in prison under his care? They're about to be, as long as Google and might have told you it their way. But he has the, I guess you could say he can walk away at any time and decide not to participate. So in some way, Adam abandoning the world for fear that he is assisting human traffickers in some way. And to theoretically parallel to what happened with Florence where she abandoned the local small world for fear that her participation is only minuscule. And she's looking for a larger, larger role. So it's Florence leapt from that small town. Adam is actually going back to that small town. And he's not going there. He's dying physically, but he's calculating the possibilities of taking his dad's truck and driving it into the toxic waste dump. Now, in his possession will be the paper that describes all of this, his paper that he wrote to Zoe to get an A. But at the same time, we'll also be in her possession. I don't know if that sounds any better. The whole, obviously, the novel is the controversial topic. The human trafficking has to be there for the controversy. The water well permits have to be there to show that the toxic waste dump is illegal. Why does Adam feel the need to kill himself? What is his motivation? I mean, he has dad's in prison. And his mom died. What did she die of? Did her figure that out? No. So maybe we need to start thinking about that. I mean, one could say that we're tired, but it's a little too simplistic. We have to figure out how she died. And again, if Adam's going to be participating, I'm just even on the very periphery serving as a decoy for this ring. Then what is, you know, it's still not enough justification for him to want to feel that he, his life is not worth living. Now, what about Amina? You called this novel a web history of AZ and the great plan words. And maybe it can still be told as a web history. And let you have to distinguish that form from the epistillary form. And you have to distinguish it from any other type of narrative that slightly underlieb it's was in the first person. Adam is clearly fascinated with Amina. And so his fascination with Amina drives him to learn about her. He discovers his own path. Okay? Maybe what's sitting in her web history are all the scant letters that his mother sent to the city. And he says she left Egypt with nothing. They have scanned all those documents into an account and he read them. And that's when he learned that his mother wasn't loved with another man. That's when he learned that she had wanted to leave Texas for Egypt and never get so. Now, one could argue, one could convince the reader that the actual text, the narration that is being told something is which is only partially true or 100 percent. Someone's point of view is exactly like discovering something about your own family later in life discovering that your mother isn't who she said she is. You sit there and you are a faithful reader but they are an unreliable narrator. And so that's one of the cool things about this. It's like a little bit of an atom, a little bit. Perhaps in a typical Texas slang. It has to address the reader. The truth is that he appreciates their faith. It's comforting to know that there are readers like yourself out there who understand what faith means. And we know how to look at gift horse in the mouth instead of the same. But yeah, so you don't have an unreliable narrator without an announcing the importance of a faithful reader. So again, you can see that in the mouth. And you really have to figure out how you are going to weave the two stories. Now, you have to weave a mean of that and you have to weave atoms and you have to weave Florence's. Now, what is the significance of atoms being this led wall there again where you have another parallel to the unreliable narrator? It is atom, a Huckleberry fin. Well, that's a tough call because, you know, I mean, atoms are used to be an ethically, but I'm not sure. Huckson is so nice. And that's where I have to figure out. And I'm going to put out a system that's being recorded.
