She was not going through any acute mental process or reasoning with herself, nor was she striving to explain to her satisfaction the motive of her action. she was not thinking at all. she seemed for the time to be taking a rest from that laborious and fatiguing function and to have abandoned herself to some mechanical impulse that directed her actions and freed her of responsibility. which topic is represented in the excerpt?

the brief rejection of an obligatory role

Explanation:

The excerpt shown in the above question shows a girl who is exhausted from everything (and everyone, apparently). This girl has no mood or disposition to do anything, and it is probably the result of some sad situation or stress that has left the girl in this weariness of life. The topic represented in the text is "the brief rejection of an obligatory role" because the girl cannot find the strength to meet her commitments and obligations.

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.
