Post four

      I am really enjoying how we get to see the narrator as a more uncertain person then he seems to show us in his writing. Furring instances like the altercation with the police officer the narrator displays himself as not benign as confident as his thoughts would suggest. This, I can realtate too. It seems we always say we will do something, but we never actually do it because courage of the mind is somethingn very different from courage in action. With this the narrator connects to the reader while also proving himself to once again be an unrealizable narrator. That is not to say that he is lying to is, in fact I think he truly believes in what he says in the instant that he is writing it, but as he writes he realizes and thinks more and changes his mind. This is something I have found to happen to me often in my writing aswell, however I often simply rewrite everything to fit my newfound belief. The fact that the narrator keeps what he has written yet no longer believes true means he is staying true to pure thought, which is something I must admire.
