In-class writing

In "Night women", the whole story is pretty vague or dreamlike. There is not a specific word I can use to describe the tone it because the narrator does not demonstrate that much feelings of the woman in her words, and her narrative way is not in order. Sometimes, there is not any connection between the two adjacent paragraphs. However, from this kind of dreamlike tone, I still can read the woman's great love to her son. She would watch her son when he falls asleep. All those descriptions of her son's emotions, actions or little gestures are the best evidence. She tries to prevent her son from knowing her secret of fair with those men for protecting his innocence. All she wants to do is to give her son a good life as far as possible. Her love to her son is just like the tone of the story ---- dreamlike but solid.
