Yellow Raft in Blue Water
“When writers write from a place of insight and real caring about the truth, they have the ability to throw the lights on for the reader.” (Anne Lamott) When a reader can see a situation in a distinct and realistic way that appeals to his emotion, he knows that the writer has written with great insight. With experience, writers can express the deeper meaning of a time or situation. In A Yellow Raft in Blue Water, Michael Dorris exhibits this technique when he writes about Christine leaving Rayona at Ida’s house. The 1920’s is viewed as a prosperous and glamorous time period, but F. Scott Fitzgerald tells us otherwise. In The Great Gatsby, Fitzgerald unveils the reality of peoples’ lives in the 1920’s by telling the story of Jay Gatsby.
