Entry #6

External Conflict- "As i went out the door I looked back through the two thicknesses of glass and saw them sitting there. She was still talking to him" (page 58).

Here, Jake is speaking of Cohn and Frances. This part was extremely annoying to me. Frances was griping at Cohn in public and in front of his friend. Apparently to her, it was appropriate to speak of private things to anyone who would listen. Cohn seemed to just sit there and take her sarcastic and rude remarks which was surprising to me. If it had been me, I would have gotten up and left her there to complain on her own. This external conflict between Cohn and Frances seemed to drag on and on. At this point in time, the reader has no idea what else they had to fight about.
