Vanishing Acts
Page 32
Jodi Picoult has given a lot of background information to the characters introduced so far. The setting is in New Hampshire and tells the story of Delia. The reading has told what is happening in present day with each character and also somewhat of a past with four of the five characters mentioned. We’ve found out about how the main character, Delia, feels about her husband Eric. Eric puts his drinking as a priority and has ever since high school. Delia has been emotional about their relationship and in a way blind to what their reality is as a couple. She got pregnant with Eric’s child and felt as if she couldn’t raise it alone. Ignoring her feelings and becoming blind to reality again she decides to engage him and is in the process of planning the wedding. The book also switches narrator into different characters. Right now, Eric is the narrator and we know the thoughts and feelings of him instead of Delia. This puts a change in setting and effects how aspects of reality are told.
