Teeth Like Mine Analysis
I have been working on "Teeth Like Mine" for awhile now. The piece explores the relationships we often have in confined places-- such as small towns-- and the episodes that occur that ruin these precious friendships. Not only does this story explore the wonders and faults of the human heart, but how social, economic, and geography make us who we are. I'm excited to show "Teeth Like Mine" and hope it can find a home on The Flexible Persona.

Sarah Walker is a writer living in Boston, Ma. She studies film, English, and writing at Bridgewater State University. Her work can be found on 1000words, in The Bridge, Volume 12, The Dirty Chai, and December's issue of the Mulberry Fork Review.

The husband immediately calls 911, needing paramedics only to find out it was a criminal case. Once investigators arrive the scene is a mess from the paramedics tracking her blood all over the house, making it hard to identify if the perpetrators prints where present. The team didn’t waste any time and began to examining her body’s position and blood splatter to see if it was possible she fell down the stairs. Investigators soon ruled it out due to her position and the size of the blood splatter was too large for a fall (2 meters) and more in line with a sharp object. Next…

    When it comes to narrowing down end-of-the-year favorites, increasingly the only criteria that makes sense to me is, “How profoundly did this change the way I thought about its subject?” And reading this essay on class and poverty and dental care felt like following Sarah Smarsh around as she flipped on light switch after light switch, illuminating not only dark rooms I’d never thought to enter before, but also spaces I thought I knew well but which turned out to be all shadowed corners. It works so well, I think, because Smarsh seems to have sensed that this couldn’t just be a personal essay or a reported story or a piece of pop-culture criticism—to talk about Pennsatucky’s teeth is to talk about her grandmother’s teeth is to talk about her…

    To the uninitiated, the significance of Flannery O 'Connor 's Parker 's Back can seem at once cold and dispassionate, as well as almost absurdly stark and violent. Her short stories routinely end in horrendous, freak fatalities or, at the very least, a character 's emotional devastation. Flannery O 'Connor is a Christian writer, and her work is message-oriented, yet she is far too brilliant a stylist to tip her hand; like all good writers, crass didacticism is abhorrent to her. Unlike some more cryptic writers, O 'Connor was happy to discuss the conceptual and philosophical underpinnings of her stories, and this candor is a godsend for the researcher that seeks to know what makes the writer tick.…
