Slice of heaven?

The blogging format is an interesting one in that it allows one to talk freely about anything they want. The author of Slice goes back and forth from expressing her distress regarding her own situation and the situation of Mary Jane. From the chronological order of publication of posts we get a real sense of her thought process while reading each part of the diaries, and in this sense we make the leap from patron to participant, finding out new things at a similar rate to the author herself. And then the focus shifts abruptly and entirely from the diaries and Mary Jane's to the hare and her own escape from this depressing house.

The blog offers the author a form of escape. Documenting her own suffering no matter the severity offers the author recognition; Realizing that which pains you, be it rat poop or a stinky mattress, in a way liberates the author from her predicament.

Edit: New Background...

Post-Edit: On a side note... I enjoy this Slice Blog much more...
