QUOTE
"What is this habit people have of not saying who they are on the phone! It really annoys me, I mean it really annoys me! Do they think I've got a videophone implanted in my left hemisphere?"
REACTION
The author points out how the she really feels. She describes her thoughts and actions with clear sense of details and why she had acted in a certain way. Including, describing how she feels in her tone of voice. She is also very sarcastic. For example, it was the last day before she's off to the war and her friends disapeared in thin air. She didn't seem like she was upset until she said that she should of has said to them, "Right, girls, I'm heading off to the army on the 19th of September. If it's not a problem for you, I wouldn't mind if you were around on the 18th. You never know, I might want to have a bit of a chat with you. I mean, if you've got better things to do, don't hesitate, pretend im not here, I certainly wouldn't want to impinge on your freedom, I know how important it is. In less than twenty-four hours I won't have any at all..."
