why dont you dance?


  1. What kind of details does Carver choose to describe the “place?” 
    Carver in the beginning talks about the bed and the surroundings of the room and how the bedroom looks like it did on the inside. There was her side, and his side with a lamp on both sides. He talks a lot about where things were in the bedroom and things that are taken out now but in the same place. "He had run an extension cord on out there and everything was connected. Things worked, no different from how it was when they were inside."

  2. 2.What do the following passages tell you about the place?The girl sat on the bed. She pushed off her shoes and lay back. She thought she could see a star.”

    “Lights came on in the houses up and down the street.”

    To me it seemed like not a lot of things happen in the neighborhood, or maybe something happened to the man that put the furniture out there. This may make the neighbors worried about him when they see people by his house or around his house. 


  3. 3.Now look at the passages that you chose. How do they talk about the place? Why are they important or unimportant? 
    The passages i chose show that the house is completely the same he just moved it outside. You can tell that there is a reason the man wanted everything to be in the same set up outside his house, it makes you think that maybe something happened to his significant other. 


    "His side, her side. "
          "He considered this as he sipped the whiskey. "
