The author works to provide a more objective view of events by including several storytellers. Digression also provides a more complete picture by including minute details, such as the story of Miss Amy Denver and her love of velvet. Entwined with digression is regression. The story is told in the present, referring back to different points in the past. These references are interrupted, and jumbled chronologically, reflecting the survivor's inability to dwell in one area .....
