This is a response to Kay's reading analysis.
These are two of my favorite "showing not telling" examples too! When I read them I wanted to read them again just to soak in the specificity of it all. I could see every action and trait that was described about the kidnapper.
The entry about James answered a lot of the questions I had about him. It also gave me a concrete idea of what he looked like and what his personality was. From the way that she described him it was almost easy to see how she fell for him, and who she still calls him the love of her life. I can see why this stuck out most to you.
I'm glad I'm not the only one :)
