Answer: detailed descriptions.
In this excerpt, we can see that O'Connor takes great care in creating believable characters by using detailed descriptions. Without her descriptions, we would still know that the man is a tramp. However, by giving us so many details about his clothes, the way he wore his hat, and the way he walked, we can better understand why the old woman believed him to be a tramp and not a dangerous character.
Dear Diary
This is day 30 of Christmas in a row. I enjoy the presents, but our parents are getting more poor as this continues. It won't stop snowing, Mariah Carey won't stop singing, this is just a nightmare. I know I wanted Christmas every day, but this is just absurd. I hope I am sleeping, because this dream turned into a nightmare.
Okay, it's Day 31, I think I am stuck in some crazy and insane loop. I love Christmas, but I want to celebrate 2021. The local newstation is also pretty confused, god might even be confused. I just want the day to go by as usual, I will and can do anything to do so.
Day 47, I think we are in a simulation, no way it's been 47 days for christmas. All though we don't have school, we are still stuck doing this same routine. I just pray that something happens to fix this situation. I love Christmas, I really do, but this is too much.
Day 47, it just occured to me we don't have to celebrate Christmas, we can just live our lives normally. I feel really dumb right now, but hey, atleast I got a break from School and chores! I am glad we also got to spend time as a family, instead of doing whatever we usually do by ourselves. I guess this wasn't so bad afterall, merry christmas to all and to all a good night!
