Naoise Dolan invites us into her literary world through her protagonist and her extrapolation of ordinary interactions with her friend, Edith, to seem extraordinary. The protagonist does not provide us with many meaningful details about her life, and any key point is mentioned in passing, while details such as the way Edith packs her handbag and the nature of her manicure enamours the audience with the relationship between these two individuals and the nature of their interactions, drawing us closer into the literary world Dolan creates. Dolan's truncated sentences highlight the simple emotions felt by the protagonist that us as an audience can empathise with and connect to, inviting us further into the world of 'Exciting Times' and the experiences of the protagonist.

Hi Belinda!

This is a good response which uses well selected examples. Make sure to have a strong concept statement that synthesis es the idea of literary worlds both in the text and in your perspective. You provide good examples but make sure to also include quotes that back up your points! My final piece of feedback would be to consider “why” Dolan wishes to draw us into the literary world. You use plenty of evidence to show how she does it, but consider her purpose in drawing us in - what is the audience impact?
Writtten expression is also good!
