feast of the goat, part 1

ok, so first i need to vent about how difficult its been to get this post up! i woke up yesterday at about 11pm after falling a asleep reading, because i knew i had to do my blog, when i really felt like still sleeping and doing the blog the next day. however, i got up but the stupid internet would not work so i couldnt do the stupid post!!!!!!! haha, ok, enough of that.
so of course, the first thing i noticed was that this story was being told through urania, a woman! ...which is quite a change from the other books. its interesting how there seems to be a sort of dialogue going on, and some quotes without specifying who says it. sometimes it seems like theyre just thoughts that pop up, or maybe someone giving advice, but that someone doesnt necessarily seem clear to me.
also, when urania was just walking around the city, she mentioned how she wanted to go shower and eat at a hotel, but couldn't because she didnt have any money. i couldnt help but put myself in her situation and thought about how much it would suck to be wandering around a city without money...imagine getting hungry and wanting to eat, but not being able to because u dont have money on u! but, i think, where concious or not, she made that choice to put herself in that situation.
so far so good.
