    Although the clarity of description of the two scenes is unsettling in the extreme, the author, Boyden, has something he wants to say: What do you think it is?

    I am not too sure what the author wants to say but i think it might be something about one person coming into the world and the way another leaves the world. --i would really like to know you thoughts radney.

    My thoughts as I read the story involved shock at the violence and stark reality of unwilling death and also shock at the details of the beginning of life (read: more information than I wanted). I felt uncomfortable (though not in the same way for the two parts of the story), and I became somewhat curious as to how a storyteller could influence my feelings so much.
