This week we went in depth on Indigo and Night Women, my group in particular went into Night Women which was an interesting piece. Night Women has a lot of vivid language when describing things and a certain amount of innuendo due to the subject matter. While it has a lot of vivid details the are often used to write around the main points that are being avoided. Like a black spot the way the details are written draws a vivid picture around the main ideas without specifically describing them. It never states she is a prostitute the vague wording implies it, her son's age is never mentioned but it is implied he is very young, exactly why these men come to her is never stated. The way the author writes around these details leads to an interesting structure.
