Sheida Meltone-American Author Project on Anne Rice

I've already read most of my first book so there are many options for me to choose for a piece of writing that exhibits Anne's writing the most.

P. 296
" Nothing", he said. He bowed his head, but then he looked up helplessly. "Nothing. i saw nothing and i felt that there was nothing. i felt it- empty, colorless, timeless. Nothing. That i had ever lived in any shape seemed unreal." His eyes were shut tight, and he brought up his hand to hide his face from us. he was weeping. "nothing", he said. "Nothing at all."

This was almost the end of the book, after the vampire Louis went into the sun. He was brought back to life by his vampire companions and he was describing to them all what it felt like, dying in the sun. I chose this passage, feeling that anyone who read it could somewhat understand Anne's writing style. The way she repeats nothing, and the repitition of "empty, colorless, timeless". It reminds me much of my moving voices narrative about the hurting native american girl. This, much like my writing deeply shows the hurting of the two different beings.
