What is your reaction to the text you just read?

The lack of names was a little irritating to work with, while it wasn't hard to tell who it was talking about, since there were really only two characters discussed it the story. Still, not using names felt frustrating and it seemed like the point of view shifted a little too much, to the point that I thought the female character was the main lead as opposed to the male character, but perhaps that may be the point. This was also a more slower paced text than what I prefer to read, so it was a little hard to read and not get exhausted reading it. It was also using roman numerals at each section, counting down to, what I can only assume, is the end of the story. It is quite possible there was some other meaning to it that completely flew over my head, like most of the references that were used in this text.

What connections did you make with the story? Discuss the elements of the work with which you were able to connect.

To be perfectly honest, it was pretty hard for me to follow it, it appeared to be too dull for my tastes. Most of the references used I didn't get, so I couldn't really make connections based on that. Not really knowing much about the Rolling Stones, I didn't really get who Dylan was at first, until I read the note at the end.

What changes would you make to adapt this story to another medium? What medium would you use? What changes would you make?

Let's say you make this a movie, do you think that in it's current state that it would translate well? I don't particular think so. The changes I would make would simply be more clarity on everything. Such as who our characters are, and a more defined timeline of events. The sections with the roman numerals are separated, which would suggest something akin to a chapter change, this could simply be adapted as scene changes, or gotten rid of entirely. Maybe I completely missed the point of this short story, these are my thoughts on it.
