Then the syntax changes to represent that of a 3rd person point of view.
The story talks of a man walking to a building. On his way in his mind he is thinking. Just thinking and ignoring all else. Blocking out society as he wants to be an out cast. He doesn't want to be noticed.
The story then moves on to say that he has been having dreams that he says are hideous but they tell him stuff like the amount of steps it takes to walk from home to the building. Kinda creepy isnt it?
Makes me think he's a bit loco.
The story constantly goes back t saying that the people are German. Germans this, German that....
We find out the name of the young man is Roskolnikov, and he is a student.
He wanted to trade this lady a watch for some money. At that time he also seems to make some small plans. Remembering that there were certain keys in her right pocket.
For such a lazy butt he does pay attention to a lot of things.
The tone ad mood of the story switches from casual to serious every time the man runs into company.
The story then talks of a drunk man who talks of his family and his problems to Roskolnikov b/c through his rags he seems to b a man of education. The story twists and turns from there on. Switching from different people as narrators from time to time.
This provides style to the story and a special syntax too.
However, as it is really late and i feel fairly sickly, and the fact that no one has received an email about the homework, i can say no more.
