Sexy

“’Hi,” she whispered, unsure of what else to say.

“You’re sexy,” he whispered back.”

 

“Sexy” is similar to Lahiri’s first story in the compilation. The story is about a woman,  Miranda, who has an affair with a married man. While “A Temporary Matter” was not about an affair, it was about relationship problems and self-doubt, which is a major theme in “Sexy.” This particular quote, I feel, is very important. It shows the way that Dev feels about Miranda. It also explains how it is important to Miranda to be accepted. The fact that they are whispering also creates the type of secretive and sly behavior that comes from cheating. This is also a theme often used in Lahiri’s stories.

All of your post are C level work. I understand that there was technology issue, so you did not know that you would need to revise the way you were doing the work. From now on, you need to analyze specific literary devices. If you want to revise this work, let me know.
