Blood Wedding Journal #1

The thing that really stands out to me right now is the use of colors. I know Mrs. Wecker said to keep an eye on the scenery because the setting is essential to the story, it's almost a character to the story. So while reading the setting descriptions, I immediately noticed the different colors in the different scenes. The first room was yellow and that scene gave a tone of mystery and a little deceit. There is a secret lurking somewhere and we're dying to figure it out. And then another scene was pink, and that scene gave a feeling of coming together, a sunny day, meeting people and talks of marriage. The final plans and stuff. And then as soon as the sun had set the room got dark and secrets were being partly revealed. There is a lot of foreshadowing too. There is something about the bride that isn't right and we need to keep our eyes pealed. The lyrical structure of the sentences are very complimenting. It adds a sort of dreamlike essence to the story. It's interesting to notice the different structures, since compared to the other tragedies were all written in different languages, Spanish and Norwegian. The differences in tone are definitely effected by the original language I believe. It'll be interesting to see what happens in the story as the secrets unravel.
