LITERATURE: The Old Forest – Tone

The second story in this anthology is the title story and is a long one so I figured I’d start writing on it rather than waiting until I finish.

This one is first person pov, the narrator being a young man, just out of college recently and working for his father’s business.  He will be getting married within a week.  His problem: he has had a minor vehicular accident, but had a girl in the car whom he has yet to sever relations prior to being married. The tone of the story is one of that annoying poor little rich boy dilemmas that I really fail to find empathy with. 

There is also a long drawn out setting up of scenario and introduction of who the other characters are and how they tend to behave. 

Hopefully there’ll be a bit more excitement or drama to the story to hold my interest.
