The author introduces too many experiences and character building events for Duddy in the beginning of the book, that it takes away the importance of each event. This might have been a costly m

Without a strong opening the rest of the story can be perfectly written but it will never have the same impact on the reader because of the slow start.

This helped strengthen the connection between the main character and the reader because they were both left
